Hold up there’s a new lady of R ‘n’ B, Grime and Hip-Hop infused intrigue sizzling our screens and airwaves. UK born artist ‘Brooklyn’ first caught our attention after her single “Hold Up” – a remake of Neneh Cherry’s classic ‘Buffelo Stance’, stirred up web clicks a plenty. Now she is back with her follow up single and music video “Cupid” which will tease your ears into a neon mermaids open heart. Her hypnotizing vocals are perfectly met by sincere yet feisty lyrics of betrayal, vulnerability to love and learning from mistakes. And whilst her self-proclaimed eclectic love of music is felt through her use of high piano octaves and gyrating beats. It’s her picturesque and petite demeanour that is one not to be fooled by. Mystifying, edgy and with a voice to be reckoned with – are all words that can be used to describe the walking contradiction that is ‘Brooklyn’: UK’s hot new up-and-comer that we just got a little (or a lot) excited by.
