Pop singer Ella Eyre blends soul, hip-hop and R&B influences with a smoky, expressive voice. • Eyre was a competitive swimmer before she began singing and studying musical theater. She was 18 when she landed a record deal in 2012. • She contributed vocals to “No Angels”, Bastille’s 2012 mash-up of TLC’s “No Scrubs” and The xx’s “Angels”, and broke through in 2013 when she sang on “Waiting All Night”, a No. 1 hit by the English drum ‘n’ bass band Rudimental. • The deluxe edition of her 2015 debut, Feline, includes a bonus cover of Jermaine Stewart’s 1986 single “We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes Off”. Eyre’s album reached No. 4 on the UK singles chart.
