Laura Marling is a week away from releasing her highly highly anticipated Sophomoric effort “I Speak Because I Can,” which is due to hit stores on the 22nd of March.  In honor of the release, a full stream can be heard over at Times Online. We’ve got our hands on a copy and hard to believe that one of my favorite singer songwriters was born in the early 90′s. Definitely an album you should have in rotation when it drops.
