BRONYA FRANCIS NOTION MAGAZINE 2 Sarah Williams White • Your Silence Is Killing Me Monosole This track from Sarah Williams White is a blend of nu-RnB and languorous house beats. The stripped-back instrumental arrangement makes SWW's South London intonations vulnerably exposed, and her vocals' strength in the stark musical land- scape of Your Silence is impressive. The minimalist arrangement is brave, and it works; evidently White is a talented musician. Think: a post-dubstep Katy B.

“I’m not going to be like, ‘Oh, I heard this mental rave song in Berlin, can we play that at 8am?’” NICK GRIMSHAW Nick Grimshaw is set to step out of the late- night gloom and into the early morning spotlight. Is Chris Moyles’ successor about to make Radio 1’s breakfast show all about music again? THE RADIO I BY RHIAN JONES

ick Grimshaw is faced with a challenge: to reduce the average age of BBC NRadio 1’s breakfast show listener while still maintaining high ratings. Effectively, he needs to capture an entirely new audience and keep predecessor Chris Moyles’ fans on board. No pressure. Is he worried? Intimidated? Nervous? Nah. “It’s probably like when Annie Mac has to go and DJ in Ibiza after ,” he explains. “Everyone knows David Guetta’s songs, they’re at No. 1 in the charts so the room empties…but when Annie does her thing, eventually people like it. So Chris Moyles is David Guetta and I’m Annie Mac,” he explains. “I think you’ve just got to enjoy it and be yourself. I like TV or radio presenters or pop stars if they look like they’re having fun. I don’t like Lady Gaga as much because I think, ‘You don’t like wearing those hats, this is really annoying for you.’” The 27-year-old Grimshaw – who is expected to introduce a completely revised format from Moyles’ famous three-and-a-half hours of chat, jingles and parodies – will also be tasked with doubling the amount of music on the Radio 1 breakfast show. But moving from a late-night DJing slot in which he champions new and alternative music (his record of the moment is Angel Haze’s dark‘n’fast mixtape Reservation), his taste isn’t always the stuff of the early morning wake-up call.

It will be released on Frontiers Records on October 8, the same day the company also issues Mr Sky – The Very Best Of Electric Light Orchestra, featuring newly-recorded versions by LA-based Lynne of some of the band’s most famous tunes.

For the Long Wave album you mentioned in the press blurb you had had these songs in your head for the last 50 years, so what made you decide now was the time to record them yourself? What it was really for the last three years before I even started making them I was listening to them in depth and wondering if I could ever learn these bloody things. I just wanted to see whether I could do them. I wanted to see if I could sing them because they’ve all got these wonderful words that you don’t want to mess them up.

Your 1990 solo album Armchair Theatre includes covers of Sunny Weather and September Song, so clearly the songs of this era have always resonated with you. What it is you like about them? I just think they’re so beautiful. They’re like gems to me, sparkling beautiful things. Just some of the chord structures, mainly the chords and the melodies and the bass lines are what I just go mad for and what I try to do is take out all the extra arrangements that were in these old records and leave them out and make it more as a group playing it rather than a great big orchestral version.
