The 22-year-old has been diving her time between the US and UK, appearing on magazine covers, playing festivals, and recording her sophomore album in both regions.

Presently on home soil, the Londoner was spotted at Heathrow Airport this weekend looking more demure than usual, but as ever super fierce. Bring on album number two!

Unfortunately for soulful singer Luke James, it’s a concept that manifested during (what would have been) his first night opening on Beyonce‘s ‘Mrs. Carter Show Tour’. For, while rehearsing, the New Orleans native had an accident that would force him to pull out of his Parian debut.

Visibly upset, the ‘I Want You’ crooner showed his steely resilience by battling through the pain to hit the stage the next night, without missing a step nor note.
