Heard this last week on Annie Mac's show. I was going to swith to Radio 2 until the funk kicked in.

I love this. Funk/R&B from a British singer. This is really very very good.

Sorry, after many years I still don't know how to post the actual clip on here.

Was just about the start a thread on this but found this thread first. Completely agree: it's a great track and I like her voice a lot. Shades of latter-day Princey in there, too, I think. I sought out her EPs on Spotify and she seems to have some other good material too (e.g. Inhale Exhale, Adore You). Might try and catch her on tour in a couple of weeks.

She just released a video for Bad Blood. Not sure what's going on with the nude lady or the trees. I can see boobies and hear funk, though, so all is well.

I actually prefer Inhale Exhale, but this is pretty good.

I really liked her EP from earlier this year, although I kinda forgot about it due to the spate of releases since then (it's been really hard keeping up with new music this year, particularly when you're a student on a tight budget!) This is really nice as well, is there any word on whether a full album is coming any time soon?

Hah immediately after posting this I went on to iTunes and bought the EP (only 3 quid), thanks for reminding me about her OP!
