THEGAYUK WINTER 13 /14 Issue 1 MUSIC No more bleeding anything love. Leona returns with a Christmas album called ‘Christmas With Lo ve ’ w it h t h e debut single One More Sleep out on the 1st December 2013. ∎ Those cheeky McFly Chappies are back with a rather catchy, stomping, ho down ditty, Love Is On The Radio. ! Man band of the moment The Overtones are back on an 18 date Tour in February and March 2014. ∎ For dates visit: theovertones.tv Album due out Spring 2014. ∎ ANDREW M PISANU’S album revolves around gay love touching on the perils of open relationships, prostitution, HIV, affairs with married men, amongst other themes. The Essex born Londoner knows who he is, what he wants to say and how he wants to say it - with a voice that is as rich and full as it is intense and pained, the music of Andrew M Pisanu is a well kept secret, but frankly, too good to be kept hidden for much longer. ∎ ! Visit: facebook.com/andrewmpisanu PLAYLIST Geri Half Of Me is heading for the rock and roll hall of shame, the problem is we love it, every bad rhyme just makes us love you more Halliwell damn you. Britney must have read our minds with her ditty, Work Bitch. 2013 has been about work and bitches, in equal measures. We salute you Spears. Kitty Brucknell, yes she of XFactor bat sh*t craziness, showcased a tune on YouTube this year called Chains - amazeballs girl has pipes. Eat Sleep Rave Repeat, it’s like Fatboy Slim and Riva Starr saw our lives and put it in a song. Tara McDonald she of My My My fame returns to the airways with Shooting Star, it’s got a chorus that will repeat and repeat on you, like a takeout burger but much, much nicer - and it’s got some French in it, bit like Kylie back in the day. James Blunt is back, with Bonfire Heart. Enuff said. It’s all about The Vamps, mainly because of the name, because we think of ourselves as a little (just a little) Vampish, they’ve got a song called Can We Dance, sure babes, let us put down our G&T and we’ll be right there. Rizzle Kicks Skip To The Good Bit is where it’s at today - at 6:12pm, we may feel differently tomorrow. We’re still tweaking, sorry twerking to Miley’s Wrecking Ball. Who are we to judge? We’ve been dancing like that since ’99. ∎ Read more Music at 17 THEGAYUK
