Thanks Martin. I agree about Pink's Try - she seems to have a run of bad singles (for me) with the odd tune like this one.

Hey Jester! Gabrielle Aplin's cover continues to grow on me, I just booked tickets to see her live next March :D Bruno's new album is really strong too and Locked Out Of Heaven is quite the grower too, although I prefer about three songs on the album to it.
