Love Comes In

I can't think of anything better for a beautifully sunny weekend than A Man Called Adam. 

After a number of teasers and singles in the past few months, their latest album, The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart, was fully released on Friday (26th) and it's a beauty. I've only given it a few listens so far and I'll come here back later with some words but suffice to say it's wonderful from start to finish. 

As it's a bank holiday in the UK and the Monday blues won't kick in until Tuesday, I've pulled together a selection that includes a couple of snippets from The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart and goes back 34 years to a couple of their earliest singles. Perhaps inevitably, Barefoot In The Head, Estelle and Easter Song make an appearance though hopefully a few unexpected deeper cuts and remixes too.

Last year, Swiss Adam managed to curate a brilliant Bagging Area AMCA mix that came in just at just over 30 minutes. No such luck here, I'm afraid: of a shortlist that ran to nearly two and a half hours, I just about managed to whittle it down to 15 songs and 90 minutes; even then, I've had to leave out some tracks that I really wanted to include.

Find a nice spot with a cool drink, stick on your shades and your headphones and bathe in the music.
