As Loverboy looks to our left, top of our book pile to read this summer is the autobiography of the legendary DJ, Annie Nightingale. Entitled ‘Hey Hi Hello’ it’s sure to be filled with tales of being a fierce, independent woman in the music industry and the hard graft it takes to have a long-standing career.

‘Hey Hi Hello‘ is also the name of the new single of another strong, maverick female in the music world, one Alison Goldfrapp. The track is the opener for her second solo album, Flux and sets the tone as it soars into outer space with synths galore and lyrics that intertwine heartache with a glimmer of hope. Released via Goldfrapp’s own label A.G Records, Flux, feels confident, daring, sexy and fun.

Flux is out 15th August via A.G. Records.
