The Crying Game

Three years since his Mercury-winning second album swept the world, ANTONY & THE JOHNSONS’ Antony Hegarty is going back to nature. His new record is both a requiem for a dying planet and a statement of hope for the future – one that draws deeply on his Irish-Catholic upbringing. Prepare to have your spine tingled all over again.

You Are My Sister

Love him or hate him (and he is the kind of artist to divide opinions) two things can’t be denied – it’s been an incredible year for the New York Brit and there really is no-one else out there like him. A duet featuring role model Boy George, this is absolutely beautiful and totalling uplifting in the way that his last single was heartbreakingly sad.
