Tuesday, 16, Jun 2009 04:53
Fresh from supporting Mr Hudson, here's the debut single from the surprising and thrilling pop talent MPHO, on inthenews.co.uk.
MPHO is a British talent like no other. A genre-defying singer, songwriter and producer, she has enormous global crossover pop potential. Already a name to drop amongst people in the know, MPHO is set to be one of the most exciting names of 2009.
Her debut single on Parlophone/Wall of Sound, Box N Locks is produced by acclaimed maestro, Switch. The track samples the legendary guitar hook from the Martha and the Muffins new wave hit, Echo Beach.
MPHO was born in apartheid South Africa and raised in a racially mixed family of musicians and political activists in Brixton. Her life story is as colourful as her music, but the overriding theme of both has been MPHO's determination to find her own space, to define herself on her own terms.

Box N Locks is released on Junly 20th.
