She started to be recognized when she collaborated with the British band "Clean Bandit" after that she had a solo single called "Right here" and then a studio album. Her fans say she has an amazing voice, so powerful and yet full of feeling. They say she is not only a stunning beautiful redhead but also talented. On the other hand, many would call her a moderated talented singer but not exceptional yet because they considered she needs to stand out more vocally speaking. Well, we can say that regarding opinions and beliefs are subjective but if we could objectify and opinion that wouldn't be 'objective' but rather knowledge or fact.  While we get on the task of figuring out the objective and subjective stuff I'd like to introduce 'Ain't got far to go' by Jess Glynne.
