The playlist is out now.
Rolling Stones – Wild Horses
The Rolling Stones “Wild Horses” featured on their 1971 album Sticky Fingers. Penned by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, some people think it was written about Marianne Faithful, something that Jagger has neither confirmed nor denied. This month it has been covered by the global phenomenon that is Susan Boyle and looks set to become a top 10 single – her album which features Wild Horses is a shoe in to enter the charts at number 1. But as we all know, nothing beats the original real version, which is why we have chosen to add it to this week’s playlist.
30 Seconds to Mars – Kings and Queens (16/11)
30 Seconds To Mars are a Californian band who formed in 1998. Fronted by actor Jared Leto (Fight Club, American Psycho, Panic Room), Kings and Queens is the first single to be taken from the band’s 3rd album “This Is War.” The band tour the UK throughout February of next year.
Ian Brown – Just Like You (30/11)
Ian Brown’s single Just Like You is taken from his 6th and current album “My Way” As one of the most influential men in music he has inspired such acts as Oasis, The Verve the Charlatans and Coldplay. The Arctic Monkeys describe Brown as their hero. Ian Brown is on a UK tour throughout December and from January, he goes further afield into Europe starting in Brussels on the 13th of January.
Mumford And Sons – Winter Wind (07/12)
Mumford And Sons come from West London and this Christmas they celebrate their second anniversary as a band. Their second single “Winter Wind” is the follow up to Little Lion Man. With its distinctive XMAS feel it is only right that the band play our XMAS sessions on December the 4th. They begin 2010 with a tour of Australia taking in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth – the perfect way to shake off the European winter blues!
Doves – House of Mirrors (07/12)
Doves release House of Mirrors, the 3rd single from their current album “Kingdom of Rust” on the 7th of Dec. The band are doing a series of shows in Manchester and Lincoln in December but ahead of that, they play the Absolute Radio XMAS sessions on December the 4th.
