Hope Alicia keeps climbing into the top ten! My favourite single of hers to date by a huge margin! :wub:

'Try Sleeping' :wub:

 

SINGLE OF THE YEAR/DECADE! Gorgeous & Anthemic.

Ah, I love Try Sleeping... :wub: If this song doesn't reach top ten. There's no justice.

Whenever Sophie gets round to releasing a Best Of, I'll be first in the queue! I'm not a massive fan of her Freemasons produced songs but she has had some incredible singles, particularly the old disco influenced ones, like the singles from Read My Lips :wub:

 

Me too, Read My Lips is actually still one of my fave albums ever :wub:

23 :up: (from 31) Alicia Keys - Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart [D]

Precocious R&B vocalist/pianist Alicia Keys was hand-picked by Clive Davis as one of the flagship artists for his post-Arista label, J Records. No doubt he was as impressed by her multitude of skills (Keys took a large role in the writing, arranging, and production of her debut album) as by her music, which mates contemporary hip-hop accoutrements to an old-school soul sensibility a la Jill Scott or D'Angelo. Only 20 years old at the time of the album's release, Keys already seemed poised for a major career built upon her soulful voice and classically trained piano chops. While hip-hop played a much bigger role on her second effort, 2003's THE DIARY OF ALICIA KEYS, it was a smash nonetheless, and subsequent recordings have further pushed the boundaries of R&B - HMV

This. I love the 80's sound it has as well

TSWABH :wub: Love this. Hopefully a future top 10 hit.. This so makes up for Empire State Of Mind which I just can't listen to anymore :| Hopefully it doesn't become too overplayed
Meh at Sophie's position :mellow: damn Radio 1.
So beautiful, I might be tempted to get her 3 album package this week, which I haven't got.

22 :up: (from 36) Train - Hey, Soul Sister [P]

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/88697692092.JPG

 

Chart Run: 64-51-36-22 [4 wks]

 

Release date: 03-05-2010

Format: CDS

Number of Discs: 1

Catalogue Number: 88697692092

Label: columbia

 

The origins of Train's widescreen, Americana-tinged rock lay in the coffee-house acoustic duo that singer/songwriter Pat Monahan inaugurated with guitarist Rob Hotchkiss after the two left the L.A. band the Apostles. Eventually they expanded to a full band and released their first album themselves before it was picked up for wider distribution. Though initially a sleeper, it slowly produced a couple of hits, and the 2001 follow-up DROPS OF JUPITER broke Train through to full-fledged star status with its grandiloquent title track. - HMV

I remember watching a TMF countdown of the best one-hit wonders, and Train were in the top 10 with Drops of Jupiter. Looks like they won't be able to use them again.
