Dirrrty Pop Review: Freeform Five – Strangest Things

(Click above to buy) If you don’t know who this band are, you are seriously losing out. With tracks written by Karen Poole (Alisha’s Attic), Hannah Robinson (Xenomania) and Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol), that combination alone was enough to get me rushing to the shops and after the initial confusion of not finding it in… Continue reading Dirrrty Pop Review: Freeform Five – Strangest Things

Video Killed The Radio Star

It’s what Kylie should have done instead of Slow and alongside all her old ace hits and the new GA-sound-alike Xenomania-produced track Giving You Up, she’s making Ultimate Kylie very tempting. As you probably… Continue reading Video Killed The Radio Star
