A Christmas Eve Special...Number 7

Raggamuffin - Selah Sue


Ok, so technically this song isn't really allowed to be in this list as it actually came out in 2010. HOWEVER i'm going to bend the rules for these 2 simple reasons.

1. I only found it at the beginning of the year.

2.  THIS IS A DAM GOOD SONG.

I'm going to keep the rest of this brief cos i know you'll all want to be getting to bed and trying to calm yourselves before the excitable storm arrives tomorrow morning (that will be about 5am for me)...so here we go.

If you haven't heard of Selah Sue then trust me. This one is a proper gem. Not only is this girl sickeningly beautiful, she has the pipes to match it. The thing is though, take one look at her and you'll be thinking 'pretty girl, pretty music' but you couldn't be any more wrong. Born in Belgian and singing in English, Selah Sue has this incredible west indies twang when she sings. I was gobsmacked when i first heard it. Combine that voice then with these sweet little acoustic guitar riffs she's got going on and you have hit the nail on the head.

I cannot rave about this girl anymore so see for yourself...

Happy Christmas Eve
