Lulu James is living an exciting musical life; alongside the likes of Syron and AlunaGeorge the 21 year old from Newcastle is leading the way in an ever-expanding, and increasingly impressive UK garage/R&B scene, dominated by these bright young things.
Following on from the wonderfully smooth ‘Be Safe’, this new number is positively funky. Throwing a 90s disco hue all over her seductive vocal, ‘Closer’ goes deeper than it’s predecessor and shows off her diversity. An infectious chorus, relentless electronic rhythms and even a soaring, delayed guitar solo all provide the ingredients for another superb release from another exciting UK prospect.
