"I was torn between this and Five Leaves Left, which is more acoustic. But Bryter Layter just has great pop songs. Great playing as well. It's a shame that he never caught people's attention at the time. I think he was disappointed that he didn't get the acclaim. He's such a one-off, just the sound of his voice and the tunes are very unique. Did you ever hear the record that they put out of his mum singing? It was funny. I always think with Nick Drake that it's like, 'Where the fuck did that come from?' It's a little bit folk, but it isn't really folk, there's a bit of Donovan in there, but there isn't really. And then I heard a home recording of his mum singing on the piano and thought, 'Ah, that's it...' It must be something in the genes."

I really did not expect to enjoy this film as much as I did. I have never seen the original versions so I don't know how it compares but I really loved this film. The acting and singing is so good from Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. This film just draws you in and make sure you have some tissues handy. I absolutely loved it.

Behind the times as usual, I found this over Christmas, and loved it! So catchy and festive, have not enjoyed Christmas songs so much since The Darkness released "Don't let the Bells End". Candy Cane Lane is great, and the music video is fun to watch. Snowman is also fantastic, I was singing them all December long!

"Roger Ross William’s extraordinary, immersive chronicle of the Apollo Theater affirms that cultural expressions can be and are political action. In a film full of amazing performances, the moment of Billie Holiday singing and performing “Strange Fruit” is so alive, so emotionally open, at once ferocious and calm. Her serenity is profoundly unsettling, and we see not just a genius, but a freedom fighter using her voice as a weapon."
