Blame It On Calvin

Superstar DJ Calvin Harris has teamed up with John Newman to bring us brand new single 'Blame', and it's going to be huuuuuuuge, if their joint track records are anything to go by. We don't even need to go into Calvin - the man knows how to make a great dance song - and I'm sure you all remember Rudimental's smash hits 'Feel The Love' and 'Not Giving In', which John Newman also featured on.

'Blame' is set up to be a massive Freshers anthem, so be prepared to hear a lot of it from here on out. The track is classic Calvin Harris, but the ideal follow on from both summer (the season) and 'Summer' his last single. Newman's fantastic vocals add a layer of warmth, and the massive bassline in the chorus and guitar led verses are enough to make you let loose and truly forget you're at home and not in Ibiza (I wish). The lyrics are carefree and feel good, almost begging to be loudly screamed along to, and once again totally reminiscent of euphoric summer days. It is the perfect post-summer hit.

This track is going straight to the top of the charts, and I for one could not be happier. Thanks Calvin, it's stuck in my head and I'm going to blame it on you.

You're Never Too Old... | Feel Good Friday

... for Disney tunes. There's nothing quite like 110% giving yourself to a song, belting it out and dancing like a maniac all round your room, but I can guarantee that it's the effect a Disney song can have on most people.

I think it's the rare combination of childhood nostalgia mixed with genuine love, and absolutely zero embarrassment (we all know we loved some bad, BAD songs when we were too young to know better - Barbie Girl anyone?). Disney songs are just SO wonderful.

This week I've been scouring Spotify, and have actually created a playlist, appropriately titled "The Best Songs Ever' and it's been my go-to jam ever since. Here's some of my all-time faves, classics, if you will.



Also, I'd like this opportunity to pay tribute to one of the most talented actors and greatest comedic legends there ever has, and ever will be, and star of one of my all time favourite Disney movies, Robin Williams.

R.I.P you funny, funny man. Thank you.
