Fresh from the release of her “tringle” in August, the vocal powerhouse is set to flex her pipes on her newly announced ‘I Am JoJo Tour.’

On the strength of her new material, Fleur East is heading in one direction – to the top!

The masses were first introduced to the Londoner last year when she wowed weekly on The X Factor UK.

By no means standard-fare, the project has been pieced together by an All-Star line-up of producers, including Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins, TMS, Wayne Hector, Electric, and Pop N’ Oak. 

With lead single ’Sax’ set for release later this month, That Grape Juice were invited to hear select tracks from its housing LP. And let’s just say folk will not be disappointed.
