Rosie Lowe has unveiled the beautiful new song “Mango” today – the next taste of her acclaimed second album YU, released this Friday (May 10) onWolf Tone. Cosmic, dreamy and sensual, “Mango” turns the Adam & Eve story on its head: rather than depicting a tale of temptation and sin, here is Eve – in charge, and in control - attempting to persuade Adam to give into her needs instead. Revealed with a live visual, “Mango” is another fascinating glimpse of Rosie Lowe's second album, YU: a record that – amongst other things - asks questions about love, faith, and the compatibility between the two.

As I'm going through all my Gypsy CDs (yes, to ensure I have them all either on my hard drive or accessible in the cloud, before throwing them out), I'm finding myself weirdly most drawn to Tyne Daly's recording, from her Tony-winning performance in the 1989 revival. The thing is I know Tyne Daly, I mean I know her work. She's been a familiar and distinctive presence on stage and screen for as long as I can remember and I even have a few musical theater recordings featuring her singing, but hers is not a singing voice I live with on a LITERALLY daily basis like, say, Ethel Merman's, Angela Lansbury's, Bette Midler's, Bernadette Peters's or Patti LuPone's. So to me, Tyne Daly's Rose is a unique sound that I can only identify with Tyne Daly's Rose and, therefore, a character. For today, that's the Gypsy I most feel like listening to.

THE BELLES is one of the most original novels I've read in quite a while. It unveils the ugly side of society and holds a mirror up to today's society and biases in the process. The Belles are 'the descendants of the Goddess of Beauty, blessed with the arcana to enhance the world and rescue the people of Orléans.' They can alter the way a person looks, from skin tone to hair color to height and weight, to the shape of one's nose or lips or even the amount of freckles they have. The people of Orléans hate the way they look and always strive to be more beautiful. There is a curse on them and they revert to the way they were born once a month. We learn about this curse before the book even begins:
