3 HOT songs for your listening pleasure…

Amber Run – Heaven
Amber Run have been kicking around for a little while now, but they're starting to make a name for themselves and it's down to atmospheric songs like this. 'Heaven' is the kind of heartbreak anthem you're likely to start hearing on American TV shows as couples implode on-screen. With big guitar licks and dramatic percussion, it's ripe with more emotion than a frustrated teenager, but it manages to be uplifting rather than self-indulgent in one irresistible balancing act. They're also starting to pick up traction thanks to some support from BBC Radio 1 and Fearne Cotton, who both tip them for big things next year following the success of The 1975 and Kodaline.


R Kelly – Cookie (Clean)
R. Kelly  is set to release his highly anticipated 12th studio album BLACK PANTIES on 9 December.

The standard version of Black Panties is packed with 12 tracks, while the deluxe version will include 4 additional tracks. Since the 1993 release of his debut album 12 Play, no other artist has possessed the musical versatility quite like R. Kelly, evident by chart-topping hits that range from “Bump N’ Grind” and “Your Body’s Calling” to Grammy Award winning “I Believe I Can Fly” and everything in between.   In addition to recent collaborations with Lady Gaga (“Do What U Want”), Justin Bieber (“PYD”) and Bruno Mars (“Gorilla” remix),  R. Kelly has scored hit songs for Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”), Celine Dion (“I’m Your Angel”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”) and countless others. Named #1 on Vibe Magazine’s list of “20 Greatest Musical Geniuses Since ’93,” R.
