Since his musical aspirations began at the tender age of five years old, new UK singing sensation Femii has evolved to deliver a debut single that is set to take the charts by storm. Showcasing Femii’s incredible vocal ability, offset against slick basslines and smooth production, ‘Pole Dancer’ sets the scene for what will surely be an established and long-term career as one of the shining lights of the urban scene. Originally produced as a slow jam/R&B track written by Lloyd Anthony & Barry D, ‘Pole Dancer’ is a track that not only displays tight production but goes beyond to offer contagious vocal hooks and an infectious rhythmic foundation that supports Femii’s captivating vocal range. Sitting comfortably between R&B and pop Femii gives a strong nods to his early soul influences that include the likes of Al Green, Marvin Gaye and the late Michael Jackson With such an incredible and fresh vocal ability, there are already a number of producers and DJs throwing their weight behind Femii, with no less than seven remixes produced from the likes of Digital Dog, Justus & Sky and Swizzee. Digital Dog, having produced recent No.1 hits for the likes of JLS and Tinchy Stryder, has taken this track on and given it a classic house remix that displays a deep underlying bass line combined with heavy synth layers. It will only be a matter of time before this and the other remixes hit the dance floors around the UK. The mash up remix from Sky, a 23 year old producer originally from Nigeria, has all the stylistics elements of today’s current hits, with undulating rhythmic beats, subtle melodies that sit deep in the mix and a throbbing bass line. It is clear to see why Sky has already done justice to many of the UKs rising stars with his efforts here and only serves to heighten the building hype surrounding Femii’s debut release. For an artist of such a young age to deliver a debut single of such notable quality lays testament to his commitment and focus to music and his ability to produce vocal melodies that stand up alongside today’s chart toppers. If this debut single sets the standard for future releases then Femii is on course for a very promising international career that has the right balance of star quality and a determination to succeed. |
