Handsfree (If You Hold My Hand)
Sonny J
WE SAY
Sonny J's next single from forthcoming album Disastro mixes Northern Soul and Country and comes up with a great pop song. This unpredictable and hugely fun track is backed by a brilliant video too. It's also smart use of a great sample, lifted from 1950's Decca and RPM artist Donna Hightower's If You Hold My Hand. It entered the TV airplay charts this week with support from The Box, Smash Hits and The Hits amongst others. Radio support has come from both Pete Tong and Annie Mac's shows on Radio 1, 6 Music made it record of the week last week and a live session for XFM is also lined up. A recent Popjustice song of the day, we think this sounds like a summer hit waiting to happen and deserves wider radio support. JF
