Fergie - The Dutchess

Recommended by Bex:

An oldie but a goodie. After a recent dance class, a few drinks turned into impromptu karaoke, cocktails and rapping to 'Fergalicious' at 3am.

Basement Jaxx - The Singles

Recommended by Bex:

This compilation is a great way for anyone who doesn't own any albums to get an overview of their work. Whilst not always at the forefront of the electronic and dance music scene, in terms of taking the charts by storm, the Jaxx have been very influential since 1999's Remedy.

Notably absent is the super sleazy 'Get Me Off'. That video = ❤.

All Saints - Red Flag

Recommended by Bex:

Great comeback from the edgy girl group I grew up with. While I'm no stranger to the guilty pleasures of 90s pop music - my recent playlists have featured B*Witched, Aqua, Alisha's Attic and the Spice Girls - I always enjoyed the comparative rawness of All Saints.

'One Strike' is arguably their best single since 'Pure Shores', and 'Ratchet Behaviour' is simple but distinctive. You can preview the album here.

SWV - Greatest Hits

Recommended by Bex:

A surprising variety of SWV (short for Sisters with Voices) hits albums are in circulation. None quite hit the mark (often too balad oriented), but I edited the 1999 BMG version for a definitive collection of tracks.

For the tracklist, or an upload, comment on this post.
