Fleur East flew into the ears of the masses with breakout smash ‘Sax’ and hasn’t looked back since.

Rising to prominence on The X Factor, she harnessed her hype and leveraged it towards a multi-dimensional career trajectory; one that’s encompassed music, TV, and more recently radio.

Still, music has been the singer’s mainstay and it’s led her to the release of sophomore album ‘Fearless’ – the title of which is especially apt.

For, the 32-year-old is now strutting on as an independent artist after amicably parting ways with Syco.

This week brings with it the arrival of the 13-track set, which she’s unleashing on her own imprint Platinum East. 

Speaking to That Grape Juice recently, the star said of the project’s sound:

“It’s still very up-tempo and still feel-good, and it’s still something you can dance to that I can sing to because I love to do that. It’s a different kind of energy. It’s not so in-your-face, it’s not so aggressive. It’s a different kind of energy. It’s quite sultry, it’s got tribal references in there. My Mum’s from Ghana so I’ve got a bit of influence from that in there. It’s quite anthem-ic as well, it’s got chants in it. I feel like people can really connect to it now because they know me a lot better now.”

Ahead of the LP’s release tomorrow (March 20th), TGJ were privy to an early listen.
