Laura Marling’s sophomore album, I Speak Because I Can, comes out April 6, and a tour will be right on its heels. Setting off on a jam-packed May trek across the U.S., the 20-year-old Brit will be promoting her new songs, all of which were recorded in 2009 at London’s Real World Studio. This album is the follow-up to Marling’s 2008 debut, Alas I Cannot Swim.
