An extremely luring lullaby by a charmingly serene woman. No Room For Doubt carries you on a cloud through both comforting and sinister thoughts and yet, strangely, you remain relieved despite the quiet fears floating in the background. Lianne La Havas and Willy Mason perform this dreamy duet perfectly together. With Mason's rumbling folky love song and La Havas' shaky hesitant soulful response, the song is like a smooth, silky, silver ribbon lightly being coaxed in a cyclical motion. The sudden pauses jerks you awake from your drifting thoughts, but right away you are reassured again by the ribbons orbit. The refrain consists of La Havas singing "please sleep, softly, leave me no room for doubt.” There absoloutly is "no doubt" that this song will not be on repeat for a long time.
I could not decide between these two videos. The top one is the original video featuring Willy Mason and is beautifully classy. The second one is a take away show from La Blogotheque. It takes place in Montmarte, Paris at the end of summer and is absolutely gorgeous(especially around 2:52 when a breathtaking smile is flashed...)
