ARTIST: Paige Cavell SONG: Predators and Monsters SO ALEX, WHY IS THIS YOUR SONG OF THE WEEK? It's not unfair to say that opinion has been sharply divided in the pop debating chamber in recent months. Chiefly, have pop production titans Xenomania still got it? Case for the prosecution lies with Brian Higgins and co's … Continue reading #SongoftheWeek: Paige Cavell – ‘Predators and Monsters’
ARTIST: Crooked Colours feat. Ladyhawke SONG: Never Dance Alone SO ALEX, WHY IS THIS YOUR SONG OF THE WEEK? I feel like I should start this blog by saying 'Hello and welcome back to 2008'.

ARTIST: Donel SONG: Planets SO ALEX, WHY IS THIS YOUR SONG OF THE WEEK? With another series of The Voice UK drawing to a close tomorrow night, it only seems fitting that one of last year's finalists should be behind the totally stonking new single we're digging this week.
