Chart-Topping Vocalist Kelli-Leigh Drops Dance-Pop Single ‘Elevate’

The powerhouse voice behind two UK No.1s returns with her new single, gearing up for her debut album ‘Legacy’ in September

Kelli-Leigh, the Grammy-nominated voice of Duke Dumont’s ‘I Got U’ and SecondCity’s ‘I Wanna Feel’, continues her evolution as a solo artist with ‘Elevate’ — a high-energy dance-pop single combining powerful vocals with dance euphoria.

Out 22nd August via her label Music Core, ‘Elevate’ blends euphoric piano with disco guitar and a trance-y synth — a perfect summer anthem that builds on Kelli-Leigh’s proven track record of radio and dancefloor success.

‘Elevate’ lands ahead of Legacy, Kelli-Leigh’s long-awaited debut solo album, arriving 19th September. The 16-track project includes previous singles like ‘New Chic’, ‘Can’t Dance’, and ‘Unconditional’, and marks a new chapter for the London-based artist as she steps firmly into the spotlight.

Kelli-Leigh is one of the UK’s most recognisable voices in dance music, with over 1 billion streams and a career spanning chart-topping collaborations and solo releases. Fiercely independent, she’s built her own lane through standout vocals, her label Music Core, and consistent national radio and DSP support.

A dynamic live performer, she’s currently supporting Clean Bandit on tour, so far playing at Isle of Wight festival and Latitude festival, with upcoming support shows at Starlite Marbella and Gone Wild, plus her first headline band show since 2019. She’s also performing alongside Jess Glynne, Ella Henderson and Fatboy Slim at Brighton Pride on 1st August.

Off-stage, Kelli-Leigh advocates for women and WOC in electronic music through her podcast You Know My Voice and work with the Featured Artists Coalition.

‘Elevate’, the new single from iconic voice Kelli-Leigh, lands on 22nd August, ahead of debut album Legacy, on 19th September. To celebrate the album, Kelli-Leigh is hosting an album launch party at 93 Feet East on 17th September. Limited tickets are available here.
