Laura Marling has admitted she questioned her future in the music industry after releasing ‘Once I Was An Eagle‘ in 2013.
“There was noting I really wanted to do musically, so I couldn’t honestly call myself a musician at the time,” she has told NME. “I was sort of self-flagellating not telling people that I was a musician. I got a sick pleasure out of doing that.”
“I think I got a bit worthy about whether being a musician was worthwhile to the planet in any way. Not like in an eco way, but I was just like, ‘Who do I think I am that I can just get up every day and play the guitar? That’s bullshit, I should be doing something more important’.”
The soul searching didn’t keep her away for long though, and has resulted in the new album ‘Short Movie‘, out on March 23rd.
