Brooke Combe - [2021] - A-Game [Island]

When I looked up this artist I noticed that she had released "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie" so immediately though O Oh!, until I realised that she is Scottish (from Edinburgh), and of course that song was adopted by Scottish football supporters when the team sang it after qualifying for the Euros. Those of us who are old enough to remember it first time around know that it is a cheesy Euro-disco tune by a Spanish duo called Baccara from 1977.

It transpires that Brooke Combe is a social media 'covers star' who's amassed a massive following but has only just started to release material commercially, with YSICB being released on 11 Jun to coincide with the the start of the Euros. Her first release in  April, "Are You With Me", was an original song written by her which is a pop tune.

The featured song was also written by her and released by Island via Universal, so she's managed to sign a contract with one of the big boys from starting off doing videos from her bedroom!

The tune is difficult to pigeon-hole but has a retro feel and her vocals are pretty soulful.

The NME interviewed her on 4 May 2021.
