Still no confirmation about an Australian release for the latest album from British soul singer Lemar, but the campaign for it rolls on over in the UK, where the former ‘Fame Academy’ star has unveiled the video for the LP’s title track ‘The Letter’.
A cover of The Boxtops classic, most famously covered by Joe Cocker, we’ve got to say Lemar’s version (which tips its head more to the latter) is oozing with class.
The combination of his smokey vocals with the black and white streetscapes of New York, the crisp horns and classy production makes this an incredibly impressive rendition. It’s whetted our appetite for the rest of the LP.
Australia's first stop for pop!
