It's also an unexpectedly beautiful melody, particularly in the chorus, and it's 100% performance, song, and substance over production sheen which is exactly as it should be just now. Oxygen is so clearly connecting with certain groups of people that it looks destined for anthem status. Jo Whiley is an early supporter. Let's hear it A listed on Radios 1 and 2.Contact
