(Giggs) (Lolo)

Tennessee via Brooklyn popstress LOLO returns with her most soulful song to date.

Recalling Amy Winehouse’s revival of 60s soul with its no bones vocal, tottering rhythms and blasts of brass, “Gangsters” is one polished slab of pop music. Accessible without lacking imagination (save for the superfluous mid-section rap by Giggs), it’s clear to see why she is joining the likes of pop newcomer John Newman on his upcoming UK tour.

LOLO plays 02 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London on 6 February. Full tour dates here.
