Jamie Leo is just 21 and hails from Stevenage. Since the age of six she has been singing and writing lyrics from the age of thirteen. Jamie writes all of her own lyrics and has said that her music comes from the heart and that if she doesn’t feel it she can’t sing it. This is such a refreshing change as usually people as young as Jamie would jump at the chance to sing anything to make it in the music industry. Maybe this is where Jamie Leo will make it much bigger and better than those other wannabe singers.

‘Mr Smooth’ is Leo’s first single and what a single it is. It has charm, charisma, soul and funky vibes. Her vocals are strong yet at the same time they don’t overpower you. She has an impressive vocal range and uses it effortlessly.

Leo says that ‘Mr Smooth’ is about a guy she really likes and although he’s a smooth ladies man he’s with her and she knows he’s not leaving. A typical Mr Smooth.

The lyrics to this single show the maturity that Leo has and this is really important especially in the music profession.

My one complaint about this single? I need more of the same; one track is just not enough.
