  1. "All around the world" - Lisa Stansfield

    "We chopped that rabbit's head off!" - Lisa, last sunday.

    A kiss curl to draw us in, a fisherman's cap to keep us intrigued, a song with plenty of hooks so we will remember it.

    Lisa could melt a snowman at a hundred yards... more on that story next month.

  2. "People hold on" - Coldcut featuring Lisa Stansfield

    Lisa's the star of the show, with a dapper grey jacket and no hat; the camera finds her and doesn't want to let go. No surprise, when Mr. Coldcut next to her has a big bucket hat and silly shades.

    This remains a superlative soul vocal, exactly where we'd hope house music would end up.

    And if there are any snowmen in the studio: melt.

  3. "Never gonna give you up" - Lisa Stansfield

    @PetterOfCats was exactly right. Lisa Stansfield is her generation's Barry White, and to prove it, she's covering a song by Barry White!

    Lisa's always had an ear for an unlikely cover, turning her vocal to The Style Council's "You're the best thing", Queen's "I want to break free", and The Family Stand's lost classic "Ghetto heaven".

  4. "The real thing" - Lisa Stansfield

    Since melting the snowmen at Christmas 1989, Lisa's released a pair of albums; "Real Love" soundtracked the grey-era 1992, but "So Natural" underperformed.

    And now Lisa is back with the strongest album of her career. Never mind the pink suit, "The real thing" is a right earworm, we'll be humming it down the shops tomorrow morning.

  5. OMG! It just hit me. #LisaStansfield is just #genx #BarryWhite

    Both are extremely talented and this is not intended as an insult or as a “hot take”. Just listening to Lisa Stansfield and it suddenly dawned on me.

  6. Lisa Stansfield vs Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - "People hold on"

    A "limited one week release" to stimulate demand, and the midweek number one didn't stay there till Sunday.

    This began as a bootleg remix of Lisa's breakthrough single with Coldcut from 1989. Have the original TOTP performance, where Lisa already looks like she can melt any snowman.

  7. Moment of the show: at the start of "All around the world". Lisa Stansfield catches the eye of the camera, delivers her opening line "I don't know where my baby is", cocks one eyebrow, and we're in her world.

    Black beret, black spangly jacket, is that a little nose-ring or is Lisa pleased to see us? Kiss curls are her trademark, and the voice is something else we'll never tire of.

    Vies with Jason and the Londons as Performance of the Night.

  8. Before she became a late 80s/early 90s dance/pop crossover hit machine, #LisaStansfield got her first major success guesting on an acid-house chart banger with #Coldcut (founders of the Ninja Tune label) on "People Hold On" which has aged remarkably well. - youtube.com/watch?v=4IoWjow6xD
