The respective members of pop rap trio N-Dubz have endured all manner of misfortune and misdemeanours since the group’s indefinite hiatus began in 2012 – Dappy has had various run-ins with the law (not to mention a horse), Fazer faced financial woes and Tulisa – well, it’s probably best surmised in Marina Hyde’s Lost in Showbiz column from 2013, or in Simon Hattenstone’s exclusive interview with her after the Sun on Sunday’s sting.
Now Tulisa Contostavlos prepares to re-enter the world of music, and her first step into the public’s consciousness comes in the form of Living Without You. The video – premiered here and directed by Life Garland (creative force behind Rihanna and Eminem, Lil Wayne, Tyga) – provides a backdrop for the track, a kind of vamped-up reinvention of Living Joy’s Dreamer. Featuring Fazer on the piano, the Gaga-esque video follows Tulisa as she vacantly glides through the mundanities of fame – the endless flashlights and constant cloud of topless male dancers voguing.
Take a look at the video below and let us know what you think of her return.
