Alexander O’Neal - Never Knew Love Like This

So, first things first: Alexander O’Neal is a G. He’s made some massive tunes that smash up dancefloors which you should really know about already. He did a few duets with Cherrelle in the 80s that were some serious lovers’ tunes and this was one of them. Big man riddim…

FAB Featuring MC Parker - Thunderbirds Are Go

It’s Friday again. This week it seems like this one has come several days late so to celebrate here is possibly the cheesiest tune I’ve posted yet. This brings back memories of watching my mate’s Now Dance 89 video (or something like that) which was pure running man vibes from start to finish.

So I’m gonna make no bones about it; this tune is proper shite. However, the section at 1:55 with the Stingray theme over the Funky Drummer is so fucking serious that it hurts. Also, loving the shot of Stuart Pearce at World Cup 90 at the start straight off VHS. Retro

Lemar - Dance With U

Spotting Lemar’s Greatest Hits album (I recognise three of the tunes) on Spotify has led to a little pop R&B sesh in the office and the realisation that this tune was a RIDDIM…haha

Simon & Garfunkel - The Only Living Boy In New York

A morning spent listening to Paul Simon’s Graceland reminded me of this tune that I haven’t listened to in probably over a decade. A very simple track but one that truly proves that less is more…

Pizzicato Five - Baby Love Child

Sugary 90s pop from Japan. Super catchy all the way through, now sing along
