Fleur East // Sax

You might be familiar with the name but you probably already know the song given that it’s currently doing the rounds on TV thanks to Asda. Yes 2014 X Factor finalist Fleur has released her single in the form of Sax

It falls into the same section of what we’ve been hearing a lot of on the radio recently: bringing sounds from the 60s – 80s and giving them a wee bit of a modern twist. The one thing that we feel lets this song down is it’s verses that seem to lack a wee bit of imagination. But the chorus & instrumental breaks work well with a bridge that has a wee bit of an Opps Up Side Your Head feel to it

It no doubt will have folk having a wee boogie along to it. The question is, is it too much like Uptown Funk for people to get into? Or will they be tired of it quickly because of its round on the Asda advert (as it is probably going to be on for the next weeks at least!) Time will tell but it will be interesting to see what else she has to offer on her upcoming album, Love, Sax & Flashbacks

Rating: 4/5
