Holding nothing back in the lyrics, the England-born, singer and songwriter infuses conviction and candor into hypnotic heart-on-her-sleeve pop, brimming with soul spirit and struck by a sassy spark. After penning smashes for everyone from Dua Lipa, Fifth Harmony, and Rita Ora to Martin Garrix and Skrillex and clocking nearly 1 billion streams in three years, she transitions from behind-the-scenes to the spotlight on her diaristic debut for Atlantic Records.
The first single “What Do I Do” proves worth the wait. Distilling everything from UK grime to American pop into the sonics, she sings straight from the gut and spares no detail with candid confessions a la “I got your cologne still on my clothes like your hands on my body” and “every time I check my phone, I wish somebody would stop me.”
As a writer, her discography includes the platinum-certified “Scared To Be Lonely” by Martin Garrix and Dua Lipa. Other co-writes span Rita Ora’s “Soul Survivor—notable for its placement in Bumble’s Super Bowl spot starring Serena Williams—and Kiiara’s “Be Somebody” [feat. Steve Aoki & Nicky Romero], to name a few. Putting up nearly 100 million streams in a month’s time, her voice also powered the 2019 crossover hit “So Close” by NOTD, Felix Jaehn, and Captain Cuts.
