Laura Marling‘s follow-up to Short Movie will be released on March 10th next year.
Semper Femina is joined by a video for first single Soothing – her directorial debut – and UK tour dates, also for March 2017, which start in Leeds. “I started out writing Semper Femina as if a man was writing about a woman,” Marling has told The Fader. “And then I thought it’s not a man, it’s me — I don’t need to pretend it’s a man to justify the intimacy of the way I’m looking and feeling about women.”
“It’s me looking specifically at women and feeling great empathy towards them and by proxy towards myself.”
