As X Factor “moments” go, few can rival Fleur East’s breakout performance of ‘Uptown Funk.’ Smartly, then, she has cooked up her own take on the sound with the deliciously addictive ’Sax.’
Big, booming, and busy, the Electric cut (which was co-written by East) features funkified production and ample swagger to match.
Touted as a huge break-out hit, set off the explosive track after the jump…
Via JV:
Heavy on the metaphors, the track showcases a flirty Fleur in fine form as she throws down the gauntlet to a potential bae. The seismic saxophone rift is rich and sounds much fuller and more robust than those featured on some of this Summer’s big hits. A subtle, but positively impactful point of difference.
The pre-chorus sees the singer chant “baby, baby I’ve been waiting for someone to blow my mind”…and blow our minds she does.
A certified smash!

S’aight like fam… Not all that
She can keep it…
A cheap attempt to imitate an annoying song, Uptown Funk. Extremely annoying, sounds like a song that would play at an ASDA Christmas party.
I HATE IT- so unoriginal
ASDA?
You’re too kind.
More like COSTCUTTERS or Ali & Rahman’s groceries!
CHEAP,BLAND and UNORIGINAL.
Her upcoming album WILL FLOP and she will be a distant memory by 2018.

Yet when a white imitation Mariah Carey I.e. Ariana Grande released a saxophone heavy funky track is innovative? Now that’s what I call double standards
Let me leave this here
.
‘1989’ by Taylor Swift has sold more records than Beyoncé’s last two albums combined.
Very very well written pop track should be a definite top 5,
i see fleur as a celebrity shes been in the industry ages. so at this point its about having fun and making some quick p.
good luck girl !
Fleur has been in the industry for two minutes…
Mariah has been in the industry for “ages”
Perfect for drunk dancing at a Christmas / New Years party and nothing more. The people who think this basic girl is going to be a global star are more disillusional than Ora fans.
