Kelli-Leigh, one of the most highly-regarded (and sought-after) vocalists in house music is back with a new feature for faceless producer Saila. Over the years, Kelli-Leigh has leant her distinctive vocals to Duke Dumont's "I Got U", "The Giver (Reprise)", "Melt" and "Be Here", Low Steppa's "Runnin", Ferreck Dawn & Redondo's "Love Too Deep", Second City's "I Wanna Fee" and Bingo Players & A Trak's "Cry Just A Little", to name but a few. Her CV is genuinely astonishing, but few people know this. Vocalists, particularly in house music, don't often get the attention they deserve and it's an ongoing problem. 

"For too long it's been about the DJs and producers, but most of the biggest dance records have vocals," she explained to Complex over email. "We need to be seen and heard too, something that's not happening often enough, so I decided to direct my own video. It's my intention to disrupt the game and the stage and this is just the beginning." We're told Saila is the alias of another producer, though we'll be damned if we can figure out who it is, so slide in the comments if you think you know. "Sun Token" is out now on Love & Other and you can watch the Bipolar Spider-directed visuals above.
