We put on half a stone

TRACK OF THE WEEK
Siobhan Donaghy - Don’t Give It Up


You will definitely remember Siobhan from her time as part of the first Sugababes line-up, although, judging by the sales of her debut album, you probably didn’t know that she is now a solo star in her own right.

Well that ignorance no longer matters because Siobhan is back, back, BACK! Her new material is really very good, and this track from her upcoming album is the latest release.

It’s called ‘Don’t Give It Up‘, and it’s three minutes of weirdo-pop that basically negates the need for any further releases from Kate Bush (which is handy, since they’re probably not “pencilled in” for at least another fifteen years).

Unless your CD player is haunted, you won’t have heard anything like this for quite some time. It’s not exactly going to get you up throwing shapes, but it is an excellent bit of Sunday-morning reflectiveness that probably works very well as a hangover cure.

Lovely.
