a song that reminds you of school
The Fugees - Killing Me Softly
My life was never ever the same again after hearing this song and this was around the time that I was in secondary school.
best Beatles song
The Beatles - Michelle
I was obsessed with this song when I was really young and tried to figure out how to play it on the piano.
best concert you ever attended
Stevie Wonder
Live at Glastonbury 2010. I didn't manage to see the whole set but Stevie is incredible, he's still got it after all these years and I was so happy just knowing I was in close(ish!) proximity of a legend!
a song guaranteed to make you feel depressed
Lady Gaga - Poker Face
To me she symbolises all that is wrong with pop music today, shocking!! What is this song even about anyway? Urgh!
record you were looking for the longest
Andreya Triana - Lost Where I Belong
a record you fell in love to
Erykah Badu - Mama's Gun
This album reminds me of my first love. It has a different meaning to me now than it did all those years ago but it's an album I still really enjoy listening to and has lots of happy memories.
first record you remember
«If You Love Me Let Me Go». My mum was an amazing steel pan player and used to play this at her rehearsals. She used to play on the floats at the Notting Hill Festival. This song really reminds me of my childhood.
the song to be played at your funeral
Al Green - Simply Beautiful
This is my favourite song of all time. It should be played at every occasion, happy or sad.
a song that evokes the greatest summer of your life
Bonobo - Black Sands
I've toured all over the world with the Bonobo live band as I'm featured on a few tracks on this album. This is definitely my summer album of 2010 as we've played the songs countless times and it reminds me of great times on the road.
your guilty pleasure song
Britney Spears - Toxic
That song has got me dancing many a time first thing in the morning.
your ultimate heartbreak song
RJD2 - Here's What's Left
From the «Deadringers» album. The lyrics and mood of this song perfectly encapsulates my heartbreak a few years back. It's such a sad song and even though the feeling has gone now I can still listen to it and feel like crying.
perfect anthem for London
The Invisible - London Girl
I was pretty late in getting into The Invisible but really got into them when they supported Bonobo on tour in America a few months back. This track in particular reminds me of jetting around bustling London with their album on my iPod.
your party anthem
Gwen McCrae - All This Love That I'm Giving
Missy Elliot - Get Ur Freak On
«All This Love That I'm Giving» is guaranteed to get me and my mates on the dancefloor straight away! And I am a massive Missy fan and I can pretty much bet my life that if this song started playing in a supermarket I'd start dancing and want to party.
first record you bought
Michael Jackson - Bad
I was a massive fan, he was one the greatest entertainers of all time!
a song that reminds your friends of you
Dr. Dre - Forgot About Dre
My friends call me Drey for short and I've had many a Dr. Dre reference. This song probably reminds my friends of me as it has my name in it!
your sunday morning song
Bob Marley - Is This Love
Listening to Bob always makes me feel really relaxed, perfect for a Sunday.
a song you wish you'd written yourself
Happy Bithday
