It’s a year since Rihanna went to #1 with ‘Umbrella’ and on Sunday she scored her 2nd #1 with ‘Take A Bow’.
Let’s look at the weather forecast for the rest of the week:

I really like new Island signing Leon Jean Marie. He’s from South Woodford and has been knocking about in the right circles for a couple of years. His last single, the Mark Ronson produced, Bed of Nails had a spooky Madness feel to it, that once it clicked hooked into your head for ages. As […]

As much as I personally like The Ting Tings, I never in a billion years thought they would have much mainstream success, but it seems this Sunday I may have to eat my words very very largely when they chart at a very high position. I’m still not entirely convinced by them - I […]

Could this be any more amazing?

Apart from the Jackso-esque ‘Can’t Stop Moving’, ‘Handfree’ was the immediate stand out track from the forthcoming Sonny J album ‘Disastro’ and I’m delighted to see it get a release. It’s been given an expensive video treatment courtesy of the producers behind the video for Utah Saints Somethin Good ‘08 […]
