Media whores!
In this gloomy middle-of-the-week moment, with grey clouds, wind, showers and a drop in temperatures, I think a selection of some of the "newer" choons that have caught my ear of late is in order...
First up, the official Pride in London anthem [we missed him live on stage in Trafalgar Square on Saturday, but hey ho]:
Here's a surprise - Steps' very own "Lulu impersonator" Claire has struck out on her own...
The bundle of joy that is Netta [Eurovision Song Contest winner in 2018] is back with a rather jolly new song:
Calming things down just a tad - here's a little something I discovered thanks to the Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show on BBC Radio 6 Music:
Keeping the mood on the mellow side, a choon that's definitely not new [it was recorded during lockdown at the outset of the COVID pandemic], but new to me, so that's all that matters. It's truly gorgeous:
Shooting us straight back to the electronic 1980s, here's the latest from the artist formerly known as "Bimbo Boy":
This young lady's new song was recently described thus: "brilliantly blends the grooves of Deee-Lite’s “Groove Is In The Heart” with references to the catchy beats of Crystal Waters‘ iconic dance track “Gypsy Woman.” It’s a perfect fusion that showcases her talent and love for the genre." I'll let you be the judge of that, dear reader. [I quite like it!]:
Speaking of "happiness", there is very little in this world that gives me as much joy as a new - and customarily bonkers - number from one of our "house bands" here at Dolores Delargo Towers...
And finally, a song that has very nearly, but not quite, lately rivalled Our Princess Kylie's Padam, Padam in the earworm stakes pour moi:
As ever, dear reader, let me know your thoughts...
