So it's sung by a young black female singer early 20's at most.
She could be really well known for all I know.

I heard/saw it on YouTube approx 2 to 3 yrs ago. The video, she's in her house/flat/bedroom and singing about being happy or safe in her surroundings. I'm sure I remember a cosy room and her wearing just regular top and jeans type. Fairly casual but modern.

The tune I remember is very sweet, just a happy mindful sort of vibe.
As I didn't know who she is I was thinking blimey she's fresh, original, this is going to appeal.
She was just her true self.

I loved the song but I don't have any tune, nothing.
Even if I did I'm not very good at describing the erm younger genres.

I am not younger.

😊

I thank you.

Thought of this one as I read the post for some reason -

Hi it fits my description really well but it's not the one. Thanks tho!

Ok my song, the singer is definitely British London or south east accent.

Just thought of that.

Could you maybe describe what the singer looked like? Was there anyone else in the song?

Rap type or singing? Got loads of artists in my head but trying to pinpoint the vibe! :)

thesunwillout · 23/10/2022 17:19

Ok hi
I'm not sure if it's rap exactly but let's say we're not talking NWA style so a rap/singing combo.
Melodic but not warbly 😆
She had on jeans and top, smart casual type not anything revealing.
Dark hair possibly short style, natural but not afro.
Kind of understated.
Round normal nice face.

Like I said I can't pinpoint the type of music.
Arghhh.

Have you tried humming it to google to see if it’s recognised?

thesunwillout · 23/10/2022 18:59

I can't remember it at all.

The thought of oh I really liked that song, singer has popped into my mind a few times.
I asked daughter to ask around. I just thought it could be something well known online that I just didn't know. Hence me hoping the video and appearance description would prompt someone here to go oh that's so an so!

Could this be it?

thesunwillout · 23/10/2022 19:33

Hi thanks for replying but no.

It's more up beat. Like she's telling her friends, her followers how she feels happy.
She might be singing about going to other places, but ultimately likes being at home.
I think.

Bumping this because I am invested now

SouperNoodle · 25/10/2022 10:25

Ok I need to know 😂

thesunwillout · 25/10/2022 16:05

Thank you for the bump I was getting paranoid posting!
I often see threads like this and love reading.

Someone knows!

Brooke Combe?

thesunwillout · 25/10/2022 17:01

No I'm afraid.
My young singer is very late teens and you'd imagine her being chit chatty.
The song is upbeat.
Thanks.

I wish I could remember a tune.
For some reason Lily Allen Fear song has popped into my head as a rhythm.

Did you save it or bookmrk it?

Emschels · 25/10/2022 17:15

Sorry for not getting back to you yesterday!

Could it possibly be Mahalia? This one?

if not, I was thinking Jorja Smith for some reason, but cannot think of a music video that matches!

JackieCollinsExistentialQuestionTime · 25/10/2022 17:18

Is it Lil Simz? Her song introvert?

JackieCollinsExistentialQuestionTime · 25/10/2022 17:25

P.S I also thought of Mitski ‘Nobody’ but she’s not english, maybe have a look anyway!

KangarooKenny · 25/10/2022 17:28

Corrine Bailey Rae - put your records on ?

noproblemlove · 25/10/2022 17:33

Could be Ray Blk - Doing Me?

MeOldBamboo · 25/10/2022 17:35

Neneh Cherry?
