Teach Me To Be Bad
[Murphy’s Heart]
Getting a hit single for someone like Thea Gilmore is nigh on impossible these days when you look at the state of the UK singles chart. It really is a sad state of affairs.
Gilmore has been knocking on the door of being a household name for many years and her previous single Youre The Radio went a step forward in that direction.
Teach Me To Be Bad, lifted from her album Murphys Heart, shows that Gilmore isnt pre-occupied with a pure hit mentality, and as troubadour-like she is, this beefy track with bolstering brass layers and reverbed guitar will probably not make the upper echelons of the singles chart, which is a shame.
That said, because its already B-listed on BBC Radio 2 it might prove more of a hook for the casual listener to delve into buying the album.
As good as this song is, it has quite got the right ingredients for a hit.
RADIO Hear this track on Ellys show THE PLUG on Monday 29th November between 2-4PM at www.calonfm.com

Elly Roberts passed away in 2011, but he was a man who was so passionate about all types of music and loved meeting his musical heroes, such as Mick Hucknall at a book signing at the Trafford Centre, Manchester in 2007.
A former teacher and also a music journalist, DJ and radio presenter on local community station Calon FM, plus appearances on BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru and BBC Radio 2, Elly started doing reviews for DVDfever.co.uk in 2004 and he did the majority of the CD and concerts reviews on the website.
I know also that he loved getting away for the summer to Spain and I hope that wherever he is now he is enjoying the hot sunshine and, as one of his friends has said on his Facebook page, that he is interviewing his musical heroes.
