1994. The Prodigy ‘No Good (Start the Dance)’ was a defiant middle finger to the war on rave culture. The opening synth stabs. The fusion of samples to create its unmistakable sound. The Kangol flat cap 504 worn backwards (admit you owned one too!) And a baby faced Keith Flint -RIP. Electric.

1991. Kylie Minogue’s phoenix was rising. ‘What do I have to do’. Written by Stock Aitken Waterman, this piano-house track led to her sexy new direction. The black and white video. Kylie’s enigmatic character roles. The deliberate change of music direction. Fun fact: Her sister Dannii Minogue makes a cameo in the music video!

1990. Saint Etienne’s transformation of Neil Young’s sad ballad “Only Love Can Break Your Heart". Moira Lambert’s wistful vocal. Recorded in the producer’s bedroom in just 2 hours. A nostalgic glance of British life captured elegantly in black and white. An indie - club classic.

1996. The 4th single from their majestic album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, ‘Tonight, Tonight’ a UK No. 7 hit, solidified The Smashing Pumpkins superstar status. Corgan’s resilient message of hope to his younger self “The impossible is possible tonight”. The breathtaking orchestral string section. The iconic, VMA-winning music video also starred the future voice actors of SpongeBob and Karen Plankton!

1999. Mariah Carey ‘Heartbreaker’ a near perfect no. 1 pop - hip hop crossover with Jay-Z . It was the catalyst for her Rainbow Era transformation. Mariah’s revamped revenge-fuelled sexy look. The $2.5 million video featuring her brunette alter ego ‘Bianca’. A blatant post-divorce message to her ex. Mariah, you’re on fire đŸ”„

1998. Gregg Alexander’s New Radicals “You Get What You Give”. The signature bucket hat. The anti-consumerism message. A deliberate one hit wonder. It blew up, then he vanished. Only to secretly write massive pop hits like Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Murder on the Dancefloor” and Ronan Keating’s “Life Is a Rollercoaster.” The irony.

1992. KD Lang’s beautifully tragic love song ‘Constant Craving’. The desperate depiction of desire as necessity rather than lust made it an LGBTQ+ landmark. Mirroring Lang’s own queer journey, labelled as ‘career suicide’, it made it even more compelling. A masterclass in release and restraint. Evocative and haunting.
