Baby how you feelin'?

I have generally been less-than-attentive to whatever passes for new music these days - or at least, I haven't been doing those "Pick of the Pops" posts with compilations of same for your delectation, dear reader.

However, needless to say, there have been a few "earworms" that have emerged every now and again on the playlist of BBC Radio 2 that have caught my ear in the last twelve months; just not the whiny-creatures-with-guitars such as Ed Sheeran, Lewis Capaldi and their ilk; nor the nasally girls with no diction like Ariana Grande, Little Mix and others with very odd eyebrows who would fit in quite neatly at a suburban "Ritzy" disco.

Unsurprisingly, our actual musical highlights were such classic performances as Pet Shop Boys live in Hyde Park [and their collaboration with Olly from Years & Years Dreamland was a new song, so there!], Frances Barber as "Billie Trix" in Muzik [more PSB, d'accord] and Our Princess Kylie at Glastonbury...

...but there is one "youngster" - who did indeed create what I can only describe as an earthquake of media coverage... and one of the best songs of the summer. I still do the actions in the office - all together, now: "I do my hair-toss, check my nails!"

Lizzo - Good as Hell

We're planning a BIG New Year's Eve - how about you?
