When I read about Zoe Ball stepping down from her Radio 2 breakfast show to “focus on family”, it didn’t surprise me a bit. Like many of my female friends and colleagues in our late forties and early fifties, I made a similar decision. Ball turned 54 on Saturday. I was 49 when I left my job as head of talent at a large global entertainment company in 2019. At the time, my daughter was 15 and my twin sons were 13.

A mainstream artist like Majid Jordan wouldn't end up on a site like this, but I can't bear to gatekeep any longer. Eyes Closed sounds like a song plucked from an 80s radio station and made its way to a 21st-century streaming platform. It's infectious, it's groovy, and most importantly, it has insane replay value. If you're anything like me, this song will be in heavy rotation throughout the wintertime. Also, this is the perfect late-night drive song. - Google Elgin Nelson

called A Matter of Time which I also turned into a short podcast episode. No one has told me to shut up about timeslips, yet, so here I am again with reading notes on a recent novel. Let me introduce you to one of the best timeslips I’ve read in a long time. Tumbleglass by Kate Constable, published by A&U. It’s a house that is over a hundred years old. A steady presence for one family after another, through wars, fashions, and political and social change.

Today seems as good a day as any to talk about why I’ve re-valued some of the work that’s done within the book industry, in particular the children’s book industry. And why I’m not working for magic beans any more. First, an important distinction. I’ll always donate blood, sweat and tears to this industry that I love and that won’t change. I’m brimful of privilege and in terms of barriers, now let me count, I have faced . . .

One of my favorite artists, Kelela, has made a triumphant return with "Contact," a steamy, late-night house anthem that celebrates those intimate moments amid debauchery. I can't stress enough how Kelela captures sensuality on a microscopic level with her atmospheric, hazy approach to house and deep electronic music. Her fabulous run continues with her latest album, Raven, out now on all streaming platforms! - Google Elgin Nelson

Dear Reader,January has been bleak for me for one overwhelming reason — the loss of my friend Gabrielle Williams, author of highly-acclaimed, original and bold young adult novels such as The Guy, The Girl, The Artist and His Ex and The Reluctant Hallelujah. The incomparable Simmone Howell wrote this piece for The Conversation. If you have the appetite for only one thing from my recap of this month, let it be that.
