Best Kelli-Leigh Songs
I Got U was her. I Wanna Feel was her too. Both number ones, both uncredited. That's where this story starts.
The song that changed the equation
Duke Dumont featuring Jax Jones' I Got U is where you have to begin. 2014. UK number one. The vocal makes the entire record: soulful, urgent, unmistakable once you know it's hers. It stayed in the UK chart for 41 weeks and sold over 600,000 copies. That weight of audience, and none of them knew whose voice they were hearing.
The other number one, equally good
Second City's I Wanna Feel, also 2014, also UK number one, also uncredited lead vocal. Go straight from I Got U to this and you understand exactly why her voice became so in demand. Two massive records, same year, same problem: nobody knew her name.
Before the number ones
Bingo Players' Cry (Just a Little) (2011) came earlier. It's an early marker of what her voice could do for a dance track, three years before the two number ones arrived and made her voice unavoidable.
The solo debut
Do You Wanna Be Loved Like This? (2018) is different. It's smaller, more personal, released on her own label Music Core. It's the clearest statement of her as a solo artist rather than a guest vocal on someone else's record. The credit's finally there. Her name's finally the point.
The album that contains it all
LEGACY (2025) is where to sit down and properly listen. It brings solo material together with three brand new originals. If you've only known her through other people's records, this is the record that shows you what she wanted to do when she was finally given the space to decide.
