We round-up the last week in music, including news you might’ve missed, our #SongOfTheDay playlist and Classic Of The Week

Folks, we can’t believe that it’s already this time again, truly. You might think that this is because of our glamorous and hecitic schedules. Well, it is… No, we couldn’t fool you. While our week’s not been a deary affair, what’s excited us most is our work on the latest edition of our app.

Why? Because we’ve got some stunning names line-up and know that you’re just going to love it. Other than that, our CLassic Of The Week will explain what’s been helping to grease the wheels, as we work on bringing you another knock-out app.

Anyway, in the meantime please find the latest in our weekly round-up in the world of music…
