Roz Cuthbert discovers a chilled summer banger from the Newcastle-based artist
Jamilah‘s new release would be best suited to a club at 3am, just as things are starting to wind down. Chilled enough not to be too full-on, but with a strong enough pulse to keep the dancefloor going that little while longer.
Jamilah is from Newcastle but you’d never know from her voice, as she elects to sing in an American style similar to that of Rhianna, which does, in fact, suit the music perfectly. Need You is professionally produced with plenty of space for Jamilah’s predominantly Autotuned vocal (I personally have a soft spot for Autotune). With the right promotion and a bit of luck, she could have a popular summer banger on her hands.
