The first single I ever bought
Never Gonna Let You Go (the Kelly G mix) by Tina Moore, when I was at school. Everything about mid-90s garage seemed like the epitome of British glamour, full of giant golden-hooped earrings and wacky Moschino print trousers.

The song that is my karaoke go-to
As a kid, I used to be in a Spice Girls tribute act and would do Wannabe at birthday parties. It was all about girl power and friendship. I’ve still no idea what zig-a-zig-ah means, and that’s absurdly fantastic.
