With her effervescent single “Sweetest Thing,” Lulu James proves that she is an immensely talented artist to watch for. Infectious pop tracks like “Closer” and “Step By Step” paired with her artistic style and music videos solidify Lulu James as a fierce femme fatale on the rise. “Step By Step” is one of my favorite tracks of hers, and it resonated with me long after the song ended. Plus, she looks pretty amazing with red hair. Check it out below! (Although, lets not jump to Illuminati conclusions by the presence of triangles and the hue of red.)
On top of her own music, Lulu james has been featured on the track “Loving You” with Lane 8; this track is on Lane 8's new album Rise. The track has an incredibly fun, lively melody layered with Lulu James' phenomenal vocals. She has also been featured on tracks like “We Disappear” with Jon Hopkins in 2014 and “Why Didn't You Call?” with Gang Colours in 2013.
In addition to being an endearing performer, Lulu James seems to be an artist that sticks to her own music, ideas, and visions. I have great respect for an artist who does not buckle under the pressure of the music industry or influence of others. The Tanzanian vocalist describes her style as “21st century soul” and remarks that her music has no set genre. Personally, I think her voice is magnificent whether I hear it leisurely singing a slow song or belting out a dance hit alongside with Gorgon City. I find her voice to be befitting for a variety of songs. You can feel the soul that resonates throughout her booming vocals, but, on the other hand, you can move your body to the infectious pop rhythms that her immense voice is capable of producing.
If you ever have the chance to see Lulu James perform with Gorgon City, take it. James puts on an energetic, stunning, amusing performance, and her voice is simply astounding. With a charmingly genuine personality and powerhouse voice, Lulu James has earned my vote for this weeks' Femme Fatale!
