A real song in 2013, who’d have thought of it. This is the sort of wow I had been expecting from the much heralded but the tunefully flat Janelle Monae. Namely a song full of personality, hooks and sky high jinks. On this evidence Birmingham artist Laura Mvula is a talent bursting at the seams with fresh new ideas and given that she recently released her debut album ‘Sing To The Moon’ there is plenty more opportunities to taste contemporary goodness. ‘That’s Alright’ is quite simply one of the songs of the year, offering an eternal spark that lets you in on new secrets all the way through. I’m thinking this year’s ‘Sweet Disposition’ and a thousand opportunities for the marketing men to jump aboard. No complaints here though as this is a keeper, a ‘You’re So Vain’ for the new century.
