New Video: Gamu – ‘Shake The Room’

Published: Friday 15th Feb 2013 by Sam

Many will remember Brit singer Gamu for her controversial stint on The X Factor UK‘s 2010 series.

Indeed, who could forget the outrage generated by her sensational axing or the death threats levelled at judge Cheryl Cole for actioning it?! Three years later, we’re sure Gamu will be hoping the answer is “not many”. For, now 21, the Zimbabwe born singer has debuted her first single ‘Shake The Room’ and its accompanying video.

Lifted from her debut album ‘A Love Like This’, the song and parent LP is described as blending the best of the 1960’s Soul with the contemporary kick of today.

Peep the video below and let us know what you think, because we’re still trying to “process” what we just watched. See what we mean below…

Though somewhat demo-ish and bare, the song is fairly catchy and well performed. The video, however, looks like it was shot on her iPhone for a High School project. Just, no.

Still, it’s done the job of thrusting her back into the limelight which is more than can be said for the post-show careers of most reality show competitors.
