WHAT IT IS: A South Londoner of Bangladeshi and Irish heritage, Crookes is shaped by a rich tapestry of influences. Earning a BRITS Rising Star nomination last year and placing fourth in BBC’s Sound of 2020 poll, the singer/songwriter/instrumentalist has continued to captivate fans with her voice and genre-defying music. Since releasing her 2018 debut EP, Influence, Crookes has demonstrated a natural gift for storytelling, while covering a spectrum of emotions on singles like 2020’s “You & Me Song” and “Anyone but Me.” With her debut studio album, Skin, on the horizon, the up-and-comer is making a statement with her latest, classic-soul-infused single, “Feet Don’t Fail Me Now.”
