1) S Club – Gangsta Love

Massive guilty pleasure. Catchy, a little bit infused with garage music. Awesome song.

2) Melanie C – May Your Heart

This woman is SO underrated. One of my favourite songs of all time. Absolutely beautiful song.

3) Tom Baxter – Better

Beautiful folk song by Tom Baxter. Boyzone later covered it.

4) Whitney Houston – Step by Step

Beautiful, inspiring and catchy song written by Annie Lennox. Annie recorded it in the early 90’s but wasn’t keen so she gave it to Whitney who rearranged it and turned it into the dance classic it is. Can’t get enough of this at the moment.

5) The Pretenders – Don’t get me wrong

A fantastic song and one I was reminded of when watching Bridget Jones’s Diary the other day.

6) Herbie Hancock, John Legend & Pink – Don’t give up

The original by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush is beautiful of course. I just love this take on it. All talented artists and a beautiful fresh take on a very heartfelt, inspiring song.

7) Sting – My Funny Friend and Me

Gorgeous song that Sting wrote and recorded for the 1999 disney animation ‘The Emperor’s New Groove’. Love how it builds up and the gospel choir at the end.

8) Roxette – Making Love To You

Beautiful, chilled out-take from my favourite Roxette album, 1999’s ‘Have a Nice Day’. Wish this had been on the album.

9) John Mayer – I Will be Found (Lost at Sea)

Beautiful song by Mr Mayer. It’s refreshing to have a piano-based song by him.

10) John Mayer – In Repair

Uplifting and inspiring song by John.
