E.ON - SEE IT & SAVE IT AD!



What a great ad!

Popplastic haven't featured an ad for some time!

When we say ad, what we mean is an ad with a great soundtrack. E.on's recent See it and Save it advert is one of those very ad's. The advert features Broadcast 2000's fabulous single Get Up and Go.

Here's the ad...

CARLA BRUNI




During a moment of sheer boredom we thought we'd check out the new and much publicized Carla Bruni album, Comme Si De Rien N'etait. We weren't expecting very much so were particularly surprised when we heard a few clips, it's great, L'Amoureuse being one of our favourites! So it's off to Tesco for a bit of, "Excuses-moi, je voudrais Comme Si De Rien N'etait s'il vous plait!



Will Sarah Brown be the next First Lady to spend some time in the mixing studios. . .

LEON JACKSON - THE ALBUM!



Leon Jackson album news is beginning to leak out!

Leon Jackson wants his debut album to be produced in a Paulo Nutini style.

Leon says he wasn’t allowed to sing Paulo Nutini songs on the show for fear of stereotyping him as another Scottish singer.

Leon said: “I always used to sing Paulo Nutini songs at karaoke and that’s the kind of style I’d like to record on my album. “Something like Paulo, and a bit James Morrison, is what I’m aiming for.”

Time for a bit more When You Believe . . .

Expect the album around October/November . . .

HAMFATTER!



Rock group Hamfatter featured recently on BBC2's Dragons Den. The group were offering a stake in future revenues for a load of cash! They have already had a 2 or 3 albums and even notched up a Number 2 in Austria. Popplastic didn't offer the group a deal but we thought they were kinda catchy....

BEFOUR!



It's all been a bit credible of late so it's with a great sense of relief that we return to the world proper pop!

BeFour are the most exciting thing to have happened at Popplastic Towers since Leon Jackson won X-Factor in 2007. BeFour are a German reality TV show pop group, the "Four" member are, Dan, Alina, Manou and Angel. The groups first single "Magic Melody" was a cover version of the song "Around The World" by ATC, and we just can't get enough of it!

beFour - Magic Melody


and if that wasn't enough here's their album medley . . .

BeFour - Album Medley


Check out the words in How Do You Do . . . "how do you do, you like me and I like you"....... inspired!

They're a kind of German Steps/Scooch hybrid . . .
