Hand On Your Heart

José González

Peacefrog

WE SAY

This is another cover version that comes from left of field from José González. This time it's the Stock/Aitken/Waterman- penned Kylie track, a #1 hit for her in 1989. José's cover is a popular live favourite and previously featured on last year's Stay In The Shade EP. Radio support from Xfm and Radio 1 has seen the track given another lease of life. We love that he's taken a slice of cheesy '80s pop, and turned it into a thing of genuine beauty. JF London Gig: 7 July, Somerset House WC2
