Sorry it's been sooooo long! I promise it won't happen again 
Firstly I'm going to introduce you to Leeann Akers. I just can't get enough of her songs, and her voice. Having grown up listening to Dolly Parton and Alison Krauss, she has a real obvious country-influenced sound, but brought right up to date. She's reminiscent of LeAnn Rimes, but with a better voice and style.
There isn't a song on her myspace page I don't like to be honest, but if you only have five minutes make sure you listen to Follow Me and It's Crying Time Again. Follow Me is a feel-good, up beat song with the catchiest of catchy hooks. Her sickly sweet (in a good way I promise), smooth voice is perfectly suited to this kind of song, and she reminds us that love is meant to be fun and free and safe. On the other hand, It's Crying Time Again shows a different side to Leeann Akers. This is a song which focuses on the end of the relationship, but it neither winges or moans. Another catchy chorus, this time infused with jazz, will never leave your brain! Her voice sounds older somehow, perhaps it's the more overall staccato tone of the song and it all just comes together perfectly. Still with all this, Leann Akers never loses her country twang - something I hope she never parts with as it sets her apart from any other new artist I have heard in a while.
She has an album coming out in the near future and I suggest you keep an eye out for a specific date (depending on where you live as ever). Visit Leeanns Myspace page here.
London rapper/producer Lyrical is heading back into the studio over the next few weeks to record some new tracks which you'll find on his Myspace page when they're done (I'll let you know when don't worry). Check out some of his tracks especially No One Like You and Dance With Me and I challenge you not to find your foot tapping or your head nodding!!
Two albums out tomorrow (24th March) which I am very excited about! The first of these is the Mystery Jets new album 'Twenty One', the second is The Foals latest offering Antidotes. I expect both will be worth a listen (in fact I'll tell you now the Mystery Jets album is amazing!). Get a feel for the foals here and you might still be able to hear tracks off the Mystery Jets album on their MySpace page if you're quick.. Go on, give it a go!
As well as this you can hear the first radio play of The Pigeon Detectives new single 'This Is An Emergency' tomorrow morning (24th March) between 7.30-9 a.m. when Zane Lowe stands in for Chris Moyles. If you miss it you can hear it again at www.bbc.co.uk/chrismoyles.
Finally, Cajun Dance Party have launched their new website. They'll be putting news up on this website now, so keep an eye on it and sign up to the mailing list to stay in the loop - www.cajundanceparty.com.
Finally FINALLY I've started doing a 'top ten songs you must listen to this week' on my Myspace page in my blog (which you should subscribe to... along with this one!!). I say every week, this means it will be at least every week. It could be twice a week if there is lots of good music about. As always send me recommendations, anything you want spread about and all the rest of it.
Speak to you soon
Love
