Our top ten tunes of the week – October 7
These are the songs that have been getting us going over the past seven days:
1. G Flip – You & I
This new single from Georgia Flipo is a sentimental ode to her past relationship. She explains, “You & I is a LGBTQIA+ love anthem. It’s about being able to look at someone and the whole world just becomes background noise to your epic love story and it feels like it’s only you and that other person standing on the planet.”
2. Romy – Lifetime
This is the debut solo release from Romy Madley-Croft of the xx. It is about the dream of being reunited with friends, family and the ones we love, capturing the euphoria of being together again.
