SundaySongs

I’m a big Siobhan Donaghy fan, so was delighted when I heard that she would be reuniting with the other original members of (hideous band name alert) the Sugababes.  For those not in the know, Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan, and Siobhan Donaghy founded the Sugababes when they were about 15 with the fantastic song Overload, then left and were replaced one by one, so that the Sugababes now has no original members.  So the originals reformed, under the nicer but less imaginative name Mutya Keisha Siobhan, and will soon be releasing this lovely track – Flatline:

I’ve spent the past few days packing, and must have listened to this about forty times.  It just gets better with every listen – ‘Losing You’ by Solange.  (N.B. do not interpret this mournful title with my feelings about moving house – this time, I’m actually really excited!)

My favourite singer, Kathryn Williams, is back with a lovely, lovely song – ‘Heart-Shaped Stone’.  She made my all-time top two favourite albums (Old Low Light and Little Black Numbers) and this single is very promising for the next…

Not obscure at all, as 145 million views attest, but… oh, P!nk does sing some very catchy songs.  She might even write them… not sure, pass.  Happy Sunday!

First things first, I’ve been back and replied to comments from the past week or so – sorry it’s taken me a while!

Secondly – the Sunday Song.  I actually used to live in the same village as this artist, and I think we were in the local youth group at the same time – but I only discovered yesterday that she writes and sings really good folk songs.  Have a listen to Fade Away by Mae Bradbury:

A band I’m fond of, Texas, have come back with a new song I can’t stop listening to – The Conversation:

I’ve been discovering Joni Mitchell properly over the past couple of days – better late than never, eh? – and wondered which songs y’all might suggest…

This one is justifiably famous, and completely beautiful: Both Sides Now.

I spent a few days trying to remember any tiny snatch of this song, so I could work out what it was, and find it on Youtube.  And I couldn’t remember the tune or the lyrics.  And then it came to me!  (That’s not a great story, is it?  Well, enjoy the song… ’74-’75 by The Connells.)

I could listen to Lana del Rey’s Ride over and over and over again all day…

Thanks so much for your good lucks and congratulations yesterday!  More soon…

For today, enjoy Nelly Furtado and ‘Try’.
