There's a good chance this is going to be the next Number 1 single on the Official UK Asian Charts and although it was only officially released a few weeks ago, it made its way to the airwaves at the beginning of the summer. Composed by an Indian musical director as part of the soundtrack for the Bollywood movie Ra One, the singer is Senegalese-American pop star Akon. And it's got English, Hindi and even Tamil lyrics. With a catchy beat it's win-win-win as far as I'm concerned!

It's embarrassing that until last night I'd only heard one song by British indie rock band Cornershop. But that's the beauty of Spotify. I was listening to Nikki Bedi's show on BBC London last night and she played a song from their latest album, Cornershop and the Double 'O' Groove Of. I wanted to listen to the whole album. Three hours later I'd listened to their last three albums and they're absolutely brilliant! What a superb fusion of sounds, right up my alley! I wish I'd discovered them earlier but it's never too late. On an unrelated note, check out Thievery Corporation's latest album (Culture of Fear) which released a few days ago. It's really good.
