Brenda Lee was 42 on Monday - I thought she would be higher than 38 tonight.

I read the first part of this and initially thought you mean her age. I was like... what

Biography

Landing the U.K. underground hit “Palaces” just a few months after his 2024 debut, Merseyside rapper EsDeeKid makes his unique presence in the U.K. scene felt with glowering, weighty vocals and blown-out, bassy productions. Finding a blunt middle ground between jerk and trap, the rapper made his full-length debut with the thunderous 2025 mixtape Rebel. - Apple Music

Says the one who endlessly moans about the chart!

EsDeeKid hasn't grabbed me with any of his songs so far oops

Released in June but top 40 only now in November.

I probably wouldn't choose to listen to any of his songs, but I love his accent!

This sounds like someone at dodgy afters trying to rap for a bit of entertainment

Biography

One day in the late '90s, comic-book artist Jamie Hewlett and Blur singer Damon Albarn were sitting around in their West London flat watching TV—a brand-new Panasonic, eight channels on screen at once. Their eyes were glazed, their minds empty. The images just kept coming. This was the dawn of reality TV—shows that turned so-called real life into prepackaged stories and people into cartoons. The question hit them: If culture was already fake, why keep pretending it was real? At first glance, the idea of an animated “virtual band”—the sprightly 2-D, rogue Murdoc Niccals, gangsta Russel Hobbs, and sweet outsider Noodle—seemed a little gimmicky, an art-school shot at mainstream pop. But in retrospect, Gorillaz’s work—the electro-indie pop of “Feel Good Inc.” and “Dare,” the leftfield hip-hop of “Clint Eastwood” and “Dirty Harry,” the bits of American gospel, African folk, and dub—reflected a rootless, fragmented world that has only gotten more familiar with time. That they had no fixed lineup and an ever-rotating series of vocalists and collaborators (from Elton John to De La Soul, Clash bassist Paul Simonon to Afro-Cuban singer Ibrahim Ferrer) not only undercut old ideas of what it meant to be a “band,” it projected a vision that felt communal, even a little utopian, unbound by borders cultural, stylistic, or otherwise. Even when they projected dystopia, they made the future sound bright (“On Melancholy Hill”). Bands are bands. In Gorillaz, we got a living, breathing playlist. - Apple Music

Good luck booking on to that chart you speak of

I love 'Feel Good Inc', but it's one of those songs I never have to play out of choice because I feel like it's still heard everywhere!

Biography

A sensitive troubadour for the age of social media, Sombr places equal emphasis on sound and soul-baring lyrics. "Caroline," the viral hit that helped the singer/songwriter escalate from indie status to a major label while he was still in his teens, relies on cinematic vistas and rolling harmonies as much as his dramatic vocals. By the time he released the EP In Another Life in 2023, Sombr was collaborating with Tony Berg -- a producer known for his work with Phoebe Bridgers and Michael Penn -- and opening up his music in ways he continued to explore on the 2024 single "In Your Arms." - Apple Music

Listening to the show today as I have the day off work - '4 Raws' is another banger on first listen, loving all of EsDeeKid's chart songs. Also kween of Christmas Brenda Lee being back *.*

I thought when 'West End Girl' played that meant they were about to skip 'Madeline' again, pleasantly surprised at both getting a play. Will see if she gets all 3 played again I guess!
