Lemar was most notably brought to public attention on the BBC's Fame Academy in 2002, a combination of a talent quest and reality television show. He made the finals of the show winning plaudits for his version of " Let's Stay Together" by Al Green and singing a duet with Lionel Richie on " Easy". While he ended up finishing third in the show, which was won by David Sneddon, he caught the eye of fellow British soul singer Beverley Knight, who invited him to sing a duet with her during her concert at the Hammersmith Apollo.Speaking exclusively in RETROPOP’s April 2023 edition, he said of the project: “I didn’t want to go so modern that people think, ‘Oh, you’re just trying to keep up with whatever the new sound is.’ Lemar debuts new single 'Invincible' - listen - Music News".

Marking the first original release from the Dance (With U) hitmaker in over a decade, the LP also features the single Future Love and is due later this month. It’s preceded by the eighties-inspired funk single Future Love, with Lemar sharing: “With this new album, I wanted to make something for anyone who ever bought [debut album] ‘Dedicated’, as this year is 20 years since its release. It’s more uptempo, it’s got that soulful feel, it’s a bit looser, a bit Chaka Khan. A bit Dance (With U)… it’s got that kind of energy to it.” It used to be enough on TV music shows just to sing. Now you need to be able to skate and possibly dress up as a toaster… I had recorded only one song but I called him so much he just said, ‘OK, let’s do it. You’re irritating me now.’ I went down and performed, and it was a really good reception, so word got around. Did you feel a lot of pressure recording your first album, Dedicated, after the success of Dance (With U) and the hype from Fame Academy?

I’ve been doing some acting, I’ve done other TV bits which they have supported, but I didn’t want to announce a show celebrating the first album without giving them something new. I’m always writing songs, but I’ve been writing songs for other things over the years. Along with Take Care and closing number Where Do We Get Off?, it’s one of the more poignant moments, highlighting Lemar’s versatility and the power in his vocals, which shine bright on Glorious! – the second on the record and a complete U-turn, which opens with a striking falsetto and features vocal contributions from singer and songwriter extraordinaire Jessica Agombar.
