“She is absolutely incredible” – Vicky Hawkesworth, BBC Radio 1

With her debut EP release on the horizon, Manchester-based singer-songwriter Lusaint returns with her irresistible new single ‘Sweet Tooth’, out 2nd February on new indie imprint Heavenly Fire.

Opening with a cool guitar strut before breaking into a commanding groove, ‘Sweet Tooth’ is an upbeat, addictive new tune from Lusaint. Backed by slinky piano chords, funk bass, the Manchester songstress gives a stunning vocal performance as she struggles to resist the forbidden fruit of a relationship. “I hate it ‘cos I love you / addicted to the taste”, she sings on a bittersweet chorus.

Speaking on the single, Lusaint notes, “Sweet Tooth is about being obsessed/ addicted to someone/ something but trying to break the habit, of this force that keeps pulling you back”

The track follows previous singles ‘Dream Life’, ‘Fool For You’, and the powerful debut single ‘Dark Horse’, which received support from BBC Introducing Manchester and Victoria Jane, Future Pop, Future Artists and Dean & Vicky on BBC Radio 1 amongst other tastemakers.

With over 50 million streams globally, Manchester-based singer-songwriter Lusaint‘s distinctive music has captured hearts since her 2019 breakthrough with its melodic blend of jazz and blues influences.

Lusaint’s talents will have their fullest expression yet on her debut EP, self sabotage, releasing in summer 2024 and produced by Blue May, who has worked with Joy Crookes, Jorja Smith, Lily Allen and Kano.

The songstress has come a long way since her breakthrough in 2019, a year in which she broke the daily record for most Shazams in 24 hours. Since then, acoustic covers of Beyoncé’s ‘Crazy In Love’ and ‘Wicked Game’ by Chris Isaak have drawn acclaim, with the latter hitting over 11 million YouTube views, and in 2022, she made a scene-stealing appearance on Franky Wah’s ‘Find Out Who We Are’.

Such success has led to collaborations with glamorous brands including Chanel, Dior, Alighieri Jewellery; and a London Fashion Week 2023 appearance, and in the press she has been championed by publications such as Wonderland Magazine and About Time, while DSP playlist support has included Spotify’s NMF UK, Apple Music’s New In Pop, Deezer’s Breaking UK, Amazon Music’s Finely Tuned and TikTok’s ‘New Music’. Radio support has come from the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Future Soul: Victoria Jane, Future Artists, Future Pop (Mollie King) and Dean + Vicky (Daytime), multiple spins on BBC Introducing: Manchester including a Producer’s Pick for ‘Fool For You’, and spots on BBC Local Radio Playlist: A List across 39 stations.

Lusaint’s music has also appeared on TV shows including Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, Love Island and MTV and VH1 in Italy, while on the touring circuit, she has headlined prestigious UK venues including The Troubadour and Notting Hill Arts Club to supporting Liam Fray at The Albert Hall and is fresh from headlining Crazy Croqs in London and supporting Skinny Living in Preston on February 1st.

Building even more anticipation for her upcoming debut EP self sabotage, ‘Sweet Tooth’ is another sparkling example of the show-stopping vocals and spotlight-stealing songcraft of Lusaint.
