There are debut singers whose tender years and inexperience clearly inform their early recordings – you can almost hear the tentativeness and reserve in their vocal performances. And then there are those who clear this hurdle in one bound, who hurl themselves over the precipice, who go straight for the blood and guts of a song. Nobody who has heard Karima Francis, live or on disc, can be in any doubt as to which category the Blackpool-born, Manchester-based musician belongs to. Listening to the 21-year-old grab a melody and lyric by the throat is to experience the sound of a singer whose pent-up expressiveness was hidden away for too long, and is now exploding into glorious colour.
Two years ago at the Manchester’s In the City music conference, Francis silenced a room full of hardened music-business bigwigs, and all her gigs since then have witnessed a similar reaction. “I still have my insecurities,” admits Francis. “But I must have some confidence to get up on stage and do what I do. When an audience claps at the end of a song, I can’t understand it. I’m just stood there, and there are hundreds of people listening to my words – it’s kind of hard to take in.”
Musically, her songs – deeply personal compositions inspired both by a difficult single-parent upbringing and by moving to Manchester and falling in love – are far removed from the current vogue for folk-tinged whimsy. Comparisons have been made with Joan Armatrading and Tracy Chapman, but these offer only a superficial sense of how unvarnished and arresting – and unlike that of her contemporaries – Francis’s music is.

Finally got my hands on the album, its fantastic, although I'd love to see her do an acoustic only album, raw and edgy like Foy Vance's, Hope.

she's no flash in the pan. i thought she was pretty good on jools holland and the world needs more original artists like her. she deserves to do very well. there are too many talented people that don't make it but are a million times better than the predictable 'slime' that is played constantly in the radio that have 2 or 3 catchy words. mayb not slime but you know what i mean.!

i dont she will be a 'flash in the pan'. even if she is, it will give her 'indie' credability by not being played on Radio 1 every 2 seconds

I heard her on Jools Holland too, and she was poor. Just because someone's voice is different it doesn't mean they're good. She will be a flash in the pan, although I would love to be proved wrong.
