Karima Francis

Karima Francis's extraordinary new album, 'The Remedy', that tells you, in just a few words, where the Blackpool singer-songwriter is coming from. 'They are weak but strong', she sings, 'who fail but carry on'.

A lot has happened in Karima's life since she first ensnared listeners in 2009, with her debut album, 'The Author', and live shows so emotionally charged and laid-bare, you could hear a pin drop, and sense the extreme tension in the room. She is strong now, a lot stronger than she was.

'Fail' is a bit harsh, however: Karima didn’t fail, she just came up against a set of circumstances that forced her to take stock, and some time out, until she was ready - to carry on.

The support of Seal on his forthcoming tour,is a further sign of this 'carrying on'.
