Another weekend bites the dust and Monday has swung back round again before you can say Sunday blues! I have decided this week rather than trudging to work sad and depressed, I will instead feel lucky that I have a cosy Whistles coat keeping the cold out and a job allowing me to purchase such a number! To support our new positive outlook and accompany the dreaded 6am Monday commute, we of course need the perfect soundtrack! I bring you....Lulu James!

Think soulful disco mixed with a house vibe, hints of tribal beats and energetic electro flares, all topped off with amazing over the top outfits for her videos! It's tricky to place into a music genre which makes her even more appealing - she has a quirky style, a beautiful look and her tracks are all catchy from the word go.
Step by Step has the feel of a modern day Diana Ross with it's unusual diva house combo, Sweetest thing is paired back yet upbeat making it very easy listening, Be Safe has a darker ambiance with soulful lyrics mixed up with an lively electro drumbeat backing and finally my other favourite Closer, immediately catchy with a mix of R&B, funk and electro dominating the track!
Take a listen to the below and get that brand new Monday spring into your step!!!
We can't remember the last time we raved about a new R&B artist... the 90s?! But while our latest music crush may channel a little Aaliyah here and a dash of SWV there, she generally delivers a fresh new twist on R&B. We're talking suped-up, etheral, R&B noir.
Phlo Finister is bringing us grown-up R&B for the twenty tens.
We stumbled across Phlo's new EP, Poster Girl, recently and we've been obsessed ever since. There's little to no information out there about her at the moment, but we predict huge things for this girl. Watch this space...
