In The Spotlight

Lusaint – “Fool For You”

Hailing from Manchester, this rising British singer and songwriter has been making her mark on the music scene for many years. Initially releasing impressive covers, such as BeyoncĂ©’s “Crazy In Love” and Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game” in 2021, she also lent her voice to dance tracks of DJ Franky Wah. Inspired by Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald, she debuted her original material on “Dark Horse” in 2023.

Telling the heart-wrenching story of an inherently toxic relationship, her new single shrouds her words in a classic soul-infused melody. Taken from her upcoming debut EP “Self Sabotage”, expected in October, it’s the jazzy rhythm, revivifying horns and her mesmerizing, 60s-styled vocal artistry, reminiscent of Nina Simone and Duffy, that adds a touch of class to this stunning and polished retro groove.
