Fleur East is one the UK’s hottest rising talents. As one of the X Factor’s most memorable stars, Fleur kept the audience and judges captivated during the 2014 series with her varied performances and undeniable stage presence. Under the mentorship of Simon Cowell her show stopping performance of ‘Uptown Funk’ was arguably the highlight of the whole series, peaking at Number 1 on iTunes.

Now Fleur announces her hugely anticipated first single ‘Sax’, the lead track off her forthcoming album LOVE, SAX & FLASHBACKS.

‘Sax’ is an enormous pop/funk smash packed with undeniable attitude. From the very beginning Fleur confidently demands ‘give it to me’, before the slick production of Norwegian duo Electric kicks in to high gear. The stomping bassline is accompanied by sprightly guitar riffs, clapping, call-and-response chants, an instantly memorable saxophone hook and an explosive chorus. The song, written by Fleur alongside Electric, JHart and Camille Purcell is a triumphant statement that we are witnessing the emergence of a superstar.

Fleur has spent the last eight months writing and recording the album working with luminary producers such as Fraser T Smith, Rodney Jerkins, TMS and Oak.
