Brisbane soulstress Elesia Iimura shows that she’s got star quality with the release of her new single “Believe.” She’s got an angelic voice which reminds me of the late Aaliyah and a really fresh sound.
I just wish that I had a Soundcloud version rather than the clip, because I think it’s pretty distracting. I’m no prude but I don’t think the over-sexualised video is doing Elesia any favours. It’ll appeal to a certain demographic of course, but will they be listening to her talent or simply marvelling at her physique?
Elesia’s set for big things after supporting Boyz ll Men and K-Ci & Jo Jo and wowing crowds on a recent promo trip to Japan. She’ll shoot her new video clip in Jamaica later this year, which hopefully won’t trade as blatantly on her good looks.
