New Video: TEXAS - The Conversation + Sharleen's Epic fall


One of the biggest bands of the 90's are back.

TEXAS had their first hit single 'I Don't Want A Lover' in 1989 and went on to have a string of hits throughout the 90's and early 2000's until the band took a haitus

Now, 8 years on from their last album, the group fronted by vocalist SHARLEEN SPITERI have gone back into the studio to record new album 'The Conversation'

The title track is also the new single and the video was filmed in Paris




However during the filming of the video, SHARLEEN had a bit of a mishap as she ran around a street corner and ended up almost eating the pavement. She was rushed to hospital but fortunately she did not suffer any permanent damage. The whole thing was caught on film in a sort of 'You've Been Framed' moment.  


The new album is released on May 20th

New Cover: JESSIE WARE - Love Thy Will Be Done (MARTIKA cover)


The fact that JESSIE WARE is inspired by 80's & 90's music is no secret so it was no surprise when she took to Soundcloud to post this great cover.

'Love Thy Will Be Done' was a 1991 hit for US Latino pop star MARTIKA taken from her second album 'Martika's Kitchen' and was co-written and produced for her by PRINCE

The singer, who's debut album has just been released in the US, Tweeted 'I am a huge fan of this Prince written Martika song, so I covered it' *Fair Enough!

 

Her version stays faithful to the original which you can watch below
