Listen: Lulu James – Closer (Brolin Remix)
South Shields raised soul songstress Lulu James is set to release her new single ‘Closer’ on 8 April through RCA. Lulu has also announced her debut London headline show at Birthdays on 11 April to celebrate the release with support coming from Double Denim-signed production wunderkind Brolin.
The masked maestro polishes the potent grooves of the original; gently muting the undulating bass wobbles and deftly sprinkling his own ethereal vocal tones over the mix. The resulting composition has a distinctly alien feel. No longer an angular dancefloor weapon of mass destruction but rather a sweet and touching futuristic pop duet; shrouded in a sensual murk pierced only by the twinkling of laconic synth notes. Let’s hope this is just the thrilling first stage of a longstanding creative association.
