I really like Dua Lipa. Writes own poppy material, dances, is relatable. I thought the sound was a bit off though, same with Paul Heaton.
BTW I am an FOC who remembers The Housemartins.
I had the abject misfortune to be in my back garden Thursday, when the neighbour had landscape gardners in with the usual radio blaring. Jeez it was on Kiss, it was rap crap with lyrics like a bloke telling a girl to get in a car so thru could go home to sh*g. Nowt wrong with that, just the bloody racket and such aggressive tone these ' tunes' are blared out in. No wonder all the yoof today think they are from the Harlem Hood when this is what they listen to. Really really annoys me!!
Give me Paul H and Dua any day...
