Fleur East is wasting no time pounding the promotional pavement in support of new single ‘More & More.’

Fresh from announcing the song as the second cut from her debut album ‘Love, Sax, and Flashbacks,’ fire-filled Fleur rocked the house with the track at the 2016 National Television Awards last night.

Backed by a slick lady band, East roused London’s O2 Arena with her trademark sass, intricate choreography, and confident command of the stage.

We, personally, would have preferred to see the likes of ‘Breakfast’ or ‘Gold Watch’ gifted the single treatment; but with performances like this, we’re just glad to see such a talented act rocking the spotlight the way she is.
