Lulu James presents the daring, candid face of 21st-century soul in her latest single ‘Colours’ — a heartfelt confessional of a modern-day heroine caught in a whirlwind of global events.
Finding her centre in confident electronic beats underscored by sparse piano keys, James unleashes a bag of emotions in a spirit-baring dance that celebrates individuality, inner strength and self-respect. A nod to the British singer’s Tanzanian heritage, tribal percussion comes in raw and rhythmic bursts that send waves of electricity through her undulating body.
Earthbound, yet flying high, James’ supple vocals are resonant and reassuring, until they finally soar in a stunning, cathartic falsetto of unrestrained angst. This is stylish, electronic soul with unquestionable allure and universal spirit; lending an ear to worried faces engaging in the art of self-interrogation in their bedroom mirror.
Well, this is your chance. Sing and scream along at the top of your lungs. Lulu James is your girl.
