In the second episode in an unofficial series that began yesterday with ex ‘X-Factor’ warbler Aiden Grimshaw’s (poorly punctuated) new track ‘Is This Love’, here arrives ‘Bang Bang’, the debut single from another ‘X’ graduate, soul man Paije Richardson.

Recorded in a converted water tower in a remote part of the Isle Of Wight, it’s one of several original songs featuring on Paije’s PledgeMusic-funded first album, which will also include new versions of a number of R&B and Northern Soul standards, plus “rarely heard music from the 1950s”.

Paije, who sounds a thoroughly nice chap, says this of choosing the album’s covered content: “Some I had heard before, others I hadn’t. Those that hit me on a certain level or had the right vibe I listened to again and again until I knew which ones I wanted to interpret”.

Listen to ‘Bang Bang’, as is released on 9 Jul, here:
