Introducing….Labrinth

Many of our UK readers will be familiar with newcomer Labrinth. Having taken the British charts by storm with his production efforts on Tinie Tempah‘s smashes ‘Pass Out’ and ‘Frisky’, the 21 year old East Londoner, real name Timothy McKenzie, is striking out on his own as an artist.

Having captured the attention of a certain Simon Cowell, Labrinth signed to the  mogul’s Syco label (over at Sony Music)  this summer. In the process the eclectic talent became not only the label’s first non-TV-show signing in six years, but also the first to be signed to a lucrative deal which will see him write, produce, and nurture other talent on the label too. Impressive!

Labrinth released his debut single ‘Let The Sun Shine’ today, which looks set to be a hit. Check out its accompanying video below and let us know what you think:

    …Future Usher. Can he dance? At 1:20-Min looks like he was “getting church on ’em”. So he writes, sings and produces, not only HIS OWN music, but for others too,’eh? This means he’ll ALWAYS EAT…!!!!

    (“…His teeth..?!” Ya’ll ever see what Jamie”Gate-Mouth”Foxx looks like under them veneers, he’s not NOW seen without? …Y’all want nightmares?)

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT…!!

    I feel a lil indifferent!! He has a smooth style, but in God’s name, lay off the Techno!! I mean when will we start to hear music with real instruments!!! I’m not hating on him at all, but I want to hear something organic for once!! At least he is not “Trying so hard” to impress his audience, but just being natural!!!

  13. Robier September 27, 2010

    uhhhhhh

  14. Miss Chick Boom September 27, 2010

    He’s alright

  15. 8 September 27, 2010

    Starting to think people on this site have something seriously against UK acts, he’s not another Taio Cruz. This guy and Tinnie Tempah are gonna take over the States in the next few months, just you wait.

  16. ~Team Weezy~ September 27, 2010

    I’m ashamed, but I actually like this song. His voice sounds pretty good, too!

    I didn’t want to comment on his looks, but those teeth? Um, no sir!

  17. Dunster September 27, 2010

    Decent voice but the backing track is the same old dance/pop ish

  18. trizzy September 27, 2010

    Umm, this dude needs an edge up…

  19. royalkev September 27, 2010

    I see potential. I can tell that he has talent and alot of promise. I feel like this song has a certain quality about it that’s interesting. The hook was catchy, but the overall concept didn’t hit a homerun with me. I think it just need a little more grit to it. I think I don’t feel the passion in him as an artist yet. It reminds me of something light that Usher would do. I do like the direction he’s going in and I look forward to what else he has in store for us!

  20. kurtisleofwight September 27, 2010

    people digust me,…hating on someones looks…,errrr your ugly inside yourself

  21. Rancor September 27, 2010

    One Taio Cruz is enough. I have no desire to see another black man try and cater to the Gaga queens.

  22. Yellow Gorilah September 27, 2010
