Would like to take a moment to apologise to Florence for only choosing one song, but I needed to share the love and I’ll be seeing you twice this year. Also shout outs to some close runner ups – Lykke Li, Ashton Shuffle, The Jezabels, Joelistics, Spank Rock… and the list goes on and on!!!
My 10 were:
