Song Of The Month – July 2019 – Word Up by Cameo
LINK TO THE VIDEO I’m an eighties kid so this will always be the gold standard version of this song.
Song Of The Month – June 2019 -Big Love (Live) by Fleetwood Mac
LINK TO THE VIDEO I went through a very short but intense Fleetwood Mac phase when I was younger.
Song Of The Month – May 2019 – 1980 By Estelle
LINK TO THE VIDEO Forgive the video quality, looks like I recorded this off a TV with a camcorder in the 90s.
Song Of The Month – April 2019 – When The Sun Goes Down by Arctic Monkeys
LINK TO THE VIDEO I was lucky enough to see the Arctic Monkeys at Glastonbury when they were touring their first album. I’ve seen quite a few bands live but honestly this set was one of the best.
Song Of The Month – March 2019 – Blinded By The Lights by The Streets
LINK TO THE VIDEO Now when I went to see The Streets, I just went for something to do. I wasn’t a fan but a night out in Yorkshire with one of my very good, old friends, a gig and lots of alcohol, I was in! It didn’t take long for me to become a fan, about 10 minutes into the concert. They were so different live than what I’d heard on the radio.
Song Of The Month – February 2019 – Banquet by Bloc Party
LINK TO THE VIDEO There aren’t that many black people in alternative music. We almost always get pigeonholed into hip hop, RnB, reggae etc. and as much as I love all those styles and that was what I was brought up on, I love most styles of music. I can’t quite get with Trance or Death Metal but pretty much everything in between I can appreciate for what it is.
Song Of The Month – Jan 2019 – American Oxygen by Rihanna
LINK TO THE VIDEO This is actually one of my favourite Rihanna songs. I don’t really every remember it coming out or being big like some of her other songs but the video in particular gets me every time.
Song Of The Month – December 2018 – Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars
LINK TO THE VIDEO The song that keeps on giving. What more can I say but it still makes me feel good? Not very Christmassy though but neither am I? It’s my birthday month so it’s time to party rather than be merry. One of my biggest memories with this song was how my little girl singing “hot damn!” every time this came on.

Song Of The Month – November 2018 – Who You Are by Jessie J
LINK TO THE VIDEO When it comes to uplifting songs, this is one of the best of modern times in my humble opinion. It’s such a good message for young boys and girls and even old ladies like me. I also like to pretend I can sing and belt it out like a diva. Move over Miss J! Follow me on YouTube to watch the whole playlist. So here it goes, press play, listen and love it.
