Our top ten tunes of the week – January 17
Here are the songs that are getting us going at the moment:
1. G Flip – Bring Me Home
The excellent G Flip has released a new song by video only. “I needed the film clip to be emotional like the song,” she explains. “I wrote this song when I was breaking down so I wanted to portray that in the visual. I can’t act to save my life so I put myself in a hot warehouse on a 36 degree day and drummed for 6 hours straight until I couldn’t anymore, to show that real emotion and convey what I was feeling.”
