Karima Francis
Stay

unsigned

WE SAY

Karima Francis has a voice that could break the heart of an angel. That visceral talent is displayed in emphatic style on this superb track from her forthcoming Flood (PJ Harvey, U2, Depeche Mode) produced second album. We first featured Karima as an unsigned highlight of Manchester's ITC showcase back in 2006, and her progression as an artist saw her debut album receive some glowing reviews, a host of 'one to watch' tips and a live performance on Jools Holland. We were recently blown away by her live show at The Borderline and with her nearly completed album available for licensing, a strong label presence should be expected at her Water Rats show tomorrow night. Karima's beautiful personality, and striking image shine through. With some other great songs lined up, it's clear this is a career artist with a bright future.

November 24, Water Rats WC1 (on stage 8pm)
