Song for Sunday - 29th May - Glow
Glow is a great Song for Sunday choice - the kind of sleepy, happy-sad song that'll have you humming along as it tells its story. Lontalius is a New Zealander who's just released his full album, "I'll Forget 17", which is well worth checking out.

Song for Sunday - 22nd May - Love School
The idea behind Song for Sunday is to bring you LGBT musicians who aren't famous and music from genres that aren't just 'mainstream pop'. So are you ready for a bit of old school rhythm and blues?
Earl Thomas is one of those people who should be way more famous that he is - I mean just listen to that voice. This track - Love School - is from his new album Crow.

Song For Sunday - 15th May - Need U Now
The CooLots are a US queer rock/soul band. Need U Now is a bit of both but leans over to the rock side a bit more. So something a bit different for a Sunday, but welcome all the same.

Song For Sunday - 8th May - Sanctuary
Markus Feehily is the gay one from Westlife (apparently it's a rule that every boyband has to have at least one gay one). Markus has moved on to make his own solo album, which includes this track. The video - the story of a bi man struggling with his attractions - is quite powerful in places, and the song is a good pop song - who can resist a Clannad sample?

Song for Sunday - 1st May - Blue
The intricacies of relationships are a never ending source of musical inspiration - just watch Beyonce slay the whole world with her version. But here is the opposite end of that scale - a UK artist, little known, who has drawn on a break up and instead of Beyonce's fury seems to be quietly accepting as he sings 'it doesn't surprise me'.
