Karima Francis is a young singer/songwriter from Blackpool, England. Nineteen years old, as of 2006, she is now based in Manchester, intending to study music. Originally a drummer also providing backing vocals for alternative/indie band Litterbug in her home town, she had only recently became a singer, and also plays the guitar. This change of direction has revealed a singer of enormous range and power who has been likened by some to a young Joan Armatrading, but who has a unique style of her own. This is coupled with a small number of lyrical and powerful self-written songs.
During the 2006 In the City event in Manchester, Karima Francis performed no less than six times and generated a great deal of both local and industry interest. During early 2007 Karima toured extensively, both as a headline act and in support of other musicians including Seth Lakeman and James Morrison during January and February. She has also performed at showcase events at the SXSW festival in Austin Texas.
In Spring 2007 Karima Francis was signed to the Newcastle based independent label, Kitchenware Records. She is to start work on the recording of her first album in June following the end of her May 2007 tour. The album is to be produced by Ken Nelson who has many major credits (Coldplay, Badly Drawn Boy, Ray Lamontagne…).

Finally got my hands on the album, its fantastic, although I'd love to see her do an acoustic only album, raw and edgy like Foy Vance's, Hope.

she's no flash in the pan. i thought she was pretty good on jools holland and the world needs more original artists like her. she deserves to do very well. there are too many talented people that don't make it but are a million times better than the predictable 'slime' that is played constantly in the radio that have 2 or 3 catchy words. mayb not slime but you know what i mean.!

i dont she will be a 'flash in the pan'. even if she is, it will give her 'indie' credability by not being played on Radio 1 every 2 seconds

I heard her on Jools Holland too, and she was poor. Just because someone's voice is different it doesn't mean they're good. She will be a flash in the pan, although I would love to be proved wrong.
