Editor's note

Jamelia's Birmingham soul and chart-topping R&B

A UK singer who turned early fame into advocacy, with hits like 'Thank You' and 'Beware of the Dog'.

For a quick sense of her, listen to 'Thank You' and the later 'Beware of the Dog'. They bookend the shift from pure pop to something a bit sharper.

Jamelia's voice carries that Birmingham soul she grew up on, and she landed a number one with 'I Do' right out of the gate. Songs like 'Thank You' and 'Beware of the Dog' kept her in the mix, but she used her platform for more than music. After some rough press in 2005, she started speaking openly about body image and mental health, which gave her later work a different kind of weight.

She signed with Parlophone in 2000 and her debut single 'I Do' went to number one. The albums Drama and Thank You followed, and later she judged on The X Factor while still putting out singles like 'Not Afraid' in 2014.

Archive material and source history

Jamelia came up in Birmingham and started singing around age ten, influenced by soul and R&B voices like Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill. She signed with Parlophone Records in 2000, just before turning nineteen, and her debut single 'I Do' went to number one on the UK Singles Chart. That early success put her on the map.

Her first album Drama came out that same year, followed by Thank You in 2003, which included the song 'Thank You' among its tracks. She kept releasing singles like 'Beware of the Dog' in 2009 and 'Not Afraid' in 2014, and later served as a judge on the UK version of The X Factor. Some of her other songs include 'Dirty Dirty', 'Numb', and 'B.i.t.c.h.'.

In 2005, she faced some negative press after being photographed leaving a London nightclub while drunk, which led to a few canceled shows. She used that attention to talk more openly about body image and self-acceptance, becoming a vocal advocate for women's rights and mental health awareness.
