Laura Mvula Announces First New Album in Five Years Preview her 'Pink Noise' with the first single "Church Girl" Pink Noise through Atlantic on July 2, marking her first effort for the label. Pink Noise follows Mvula's 2016 LP The Dreaming Room, an album Exclaim! called "fearless, meditative, soulful and buoyant all at once." Earlier this year, she reworked a selection of songs from previous releases on her 1/f EP. In a press release, Mvula calls Pink Noise "the album I always wanted to make," and offered up a few hints at its style and sonic direction: Every corner is made warm with sunset tones of the '80s. I was born in 1986. I came out of the womb wearing shoulder pads. I absorbed the dynamism of the '80s aesthetic right from my first moments on this planet. Wrestling with identity seems to be one of the rites of passage of the established artist. Making Pink Noise
