Her music is completely unrestricted by traditional song structure, often diverging into an array of genres and sounds that are, at once, jilting and captivating. On The Rise, Lake’s beat-driven production, confident vocals, dynamic pop-styling, and dance-floor rhythm come together to create an electrifying record.
Keltoum delivers a superb jazzy soul jam in follow up single ‘Stop To Play’.
Taken from her debut eponymous EP ‘Stop To Play’ is the next single to be released from Keltoum. The fast-emerging artist from France is already being compared to leaders in her field like Sade, Jill Scott and Erykah Badu as her neo-soul and pop influences caress from all sides. An original composer and player Keltoum also brings to the table a unique French sensibility which demonstrates the sort of warmth felt by Janet Jackson or perhaps Alicia Keys at their most impassioned. The list of greats she could be compared to could go on but Keltoum herself has struck her own blend of jazz and smoky vocal which is hard not to melt away to.
