What are your top 10 most-played songs currently?
So I've changed this question slightly to most played artists, because it would be one complete album, otherwise!
In the past 3 months, according to my Last.Fm profile, I've listened mostly to the following artists:
1) Cat Power - love the Greatest album
2) Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left is probably my favourite album of all-time
3) Candie Payne - I've talked about her before, and this proves how much I'm enjoying her new album
4) Regina Spektor - I'm really pleased last year's Begin To Hope is getting another push. It's great.
5) Kate Bush - since Aerial came out I've updated my CD collection with her stuff
6) Depeche Mode - you either love 'em or hate 'em. I love 'em!
7) REM - I own so many of their albums that I inevitably end up listening to a lot of their stuff
8) Rufus Wainwright - Release The Stars is a cracking album
9) Carole King - say no more
10=) Elton John - guilty pop pleasure. Tell me you don't feel better after listening to Philadelphia Freedom
10=) Feist - really getting into her recently. Not the most accessible of artists, but definitely worth a listen to
She's a 21-year-old from Liverpool who's released her debut album this week. This is the title track from the album and is pretty representative of her sound.
The 60s influence and homage is undeniable and there is also a little bit of trip-hop in it as well. Candie herself has a very seductive mellifluous voice and I haven't been able to stop listening to this since I got hold of it a couple of weeks ago.
If you like the sound of this track, then I definitely recommend you get the album.

OK, strictly speaking I didn't buy the Candie Payne, seeing as I ripped it from work, but it's totally fantastic - am really loving it.
Not sure why I didn't get into Cat Power before now, because she ticks all the boxes that I'd like. Am so glad I've got it now, as it's on permanent repeat!
