This song comes from a reality singing competition star that was constantly on our airwaves. I recall one of my housemate singing to this track when we live in Queensway in London. I can’t believe I was just a stone throw away from Kensington Gardens and struggle to wake myself up for a morning jogs […]
I am continuing with my theme of artists originating from Colorado. The Fray is a rock band formed in Denver Colorado by schoolmates Isaac Slade and Joe King in 2002. They released their debut album in 2005 and this track from the same titled about was a top 3 billboard track. This is arguably their […]

She pokes fun at herself for being petite in her song and even named her recording company Midget Records. Lady Sovereign hails from London and […]
SPEED is a quartet girl group from Okinawa, Japan formed in 1995. This song was from their second Japanese Studio Album, Rise released in 1998. The girls would go on to sell millions of records and be one of the most successful girl groups in Asia. I was still in high school at that time […]
Another track from the depths of my memory bank. This time it is Tyler James who is famously known as one of Amy Winehouse’s best childhood friend when they met at performing school. This song peaked at 25 in the UK Charts. However, he was later dropped by Island Records due to poor performance of […]
Kristian Leontiou is a Londoner from a Greek Cypriot family which released his debut in 2004. This is the second single from his debut certified gold album Some Day Soon. This is my favourite track from him although it peaked at 13 on the UK Singles chart. He parted ways with Polydor a year after […]
