This is the first single -a remake originally performed by the Shirelles- taken from the debut album of Dionne Bromfield, protégée and god-daughter of the infamous grammy award winning vocalist Amy Winehouse. While i can’t say i’m all that interested in checking out an album chock full of covers i think Dionne is definitely one [...]
