Gabriella, Chill Me!

Gabriella Cilmi's new single, the first from the forthcoming album "10" is quite pop, very Aussie pop actually.
Initially I wasn't sold on it, but after a few more listens it's a pretty impressive follow up from a great first album. The intro and first verse is by far the best bit, sampling heavily Joe Jackson's Steppin Out, which I vaguley remember as a child.
As for the video, Little Gabi has grown up looking damn hot...Chill Me!

Ok I just got into Greys only late last year, around middle of Season 5, and became obsessed!
I've watched the first 10 episodes of Season 6, and in the last 3 weeks went back to the start Season 1 Episode 1, to Season 3 finale..i will continue to Season 4 tonight..its affected me, and I'm loving it.
Anyway this is to explain the debut of Psapp on my forthcoming chart, the theme to Greys Anatomy..so that explains that!

Cute quirky little aussie girl who created a breezy atmosphere in an already hot morning.
Hightlight : Coin Laundry

12.15pm Blue Juice
A mix of rock, pop, disco electro.

My UK girl of 2009, and boy did she live up to all expectations. Absolutley owned "Womanizer" which was an added bonus. Britney only wished she could sing it, live even like this!
