UK singer Jodie Connor originally rose to fame in 2003 as a contestant on their version of the Idol franchise, Pop Idol. Whilst Jodie didn't make the final cut, she left an impression on the judges (who actually voted to have her as a wild card entrant) and fans alike.
Coming back into the spotlight in 2010 Jodie's unique vocals featured on some of the years great tracks - Electric Boogaloo (Find a Way) by Wiley and J2K [VIDEO], Good Times by Roll Deep [VIDEO], and my clear favourite out of the three, Higher State by Bailey [VIDEO].
Now in 2011, Jodie has ventured on her own solo career. She has just pumped out two singles from her yet-to-titled debut album, with her latest being Bring It feat Tinchy Stryder, being released in the UK last week.
Her debut single however is clearly my favourite. Now or Never featuring Wiley was released in early January (in the UK) and earned Jodie a top 20 hit. Great effort, however knowing how quickly the pop industry can churn-and-burn artists, I'm not sure it's a good enough track record to keep her afloat.
Regardless, I'm fully behind this girl. Yes she kinda has the standard girl-next-door look but with a bit more sass, but there is something appealing about her look and style (I especially like the fact she wears glasses - various ones too - and doesn't hide her need by wearing contact lenses). In addition, the girl can sing!
So - my verdict... I love her work, I just hope many others see what I see. What's your thoughts?
