The discography of Laura Izibor, an Irish R&B musician, recording artist and producer, consists of one studio album, three extended plays, four singles and three music videos. Born and raised in Dublin, Izibor began writing songs as a 13-year-old and in 2003, she won a songwriting competition organised by Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ). Her winning song, "Compatible", received heavy airplay on RTÉ 2fm and was the basis of a short documentary film broadcast on national television. [1] Aged 17, Izibor signed to Jive Records and dropped out of school to record her debut studio album; however, after a dispute with the record label, she signed with Atlantic Records and relocated to New York City, United States to complete the recording. Due to long-term recording sessions in Ireland and the US, Izibor released two EPs, Live from Crawdaddy, Dublin (2007) and iTunes Festival: London 2008 (2008), on Atlantic and was featured on various film soundtracks. Let the Truth Be Told, her debut studio album, was released in 2009 after a four-year production process. [2] The album, and its four singles, received widespread critical acclaim [3] [4] [5] and charted in Ireland, the United Kingdom, the US, France, Japan and the Netherlands. Three of the album's singles—" From My Heart to Yours", " Don't Stay" and "If Tonight is My Last"—placed in the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. [6] Let the Truth Be Told was later nominated for the 2009 Choice Music Prize [7] and earned Izibor a BET Award nomination for Best UK/Irish Act. [8]
In August 2012, Izibor released a three-track EP The Brooklyn Sessions, Vol. 1, which contained new material. A month earlier, she announced in Metromix that her second studio album, Love, Learn, Live, which "has a little more attitude", was in production and due for release in 2012. [9] As of September 2019, the album remains unreleased.
