Live Session: Lulu James covers India.Arie's 'Brown Skin'

Soul singer brings a new twist to the classic exclusively for Gigwise

 

Lulu James is an iconic artist in the making. With a pitch-perfect vocal range, she's bringing back soul music, kicking and screaming into a new electronic generation. Originating from the prolific Black Butter label that has brought us the likes of Rudimental, The Other Tribe and Gorgon City before moving to RCA, she is undeniably an artist whose star is only set to rise further. Combine this with a sense of mystique and perfectionism behind the music and you have something truly special.

Filmed at Red Bull Studios in London Bridge our session sees James cover India.Arie's 'Brown Skin' - a classic soul track that achieved cult status following its release in 2001. Check out the video above to see how it brings out the roots that formulate Lulu's sound along with the fresh take she brings to the track.
