‘Sirens of Song’ is the follow up to 2012’s huge success The Golden Age Of Song, with one major difference, this album is GIRLS ONLY! It features a who’s who of both classic and contemporary female artists including Joss Stone, Laura Muvula, Eartha Kitt, Rumer, Kylie and Emeli Sande. The songs are instantly recognisable and have become staples for any discerning music lover; with tracks like Percy Sledges “ Lost Mind” covered by Rumer, Stevie Wonders” I Wish” covered by Mel C and the Clash’s “Should I Stay Or Should I Go” covered by Kylie. In addition to these covers there are some new songs written by Jools in his own inimitable style.

Who would've thought Tubular Bells, a 49-minute prog symphony, could kickstart the career of a famous billionaire? This 40th birthday celebration of Richard Branson's baby spans two discs (plus a six-track bonus disc), and at its very heart there is, as the liner notes state, "a desire to challenge conceptions and be risk-takers". Post-1977, the danger appears to have petered out – in fact there's something a little Jeremy Clarkson about this drivetime-pop pick'n'mix. But there is always that lustrous Virgin sheen, a cinematic ostentation to the music – from Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight through Massive Attack's Unfinished Sympathy to Air's Sexy Boy. Its latter half – the economy-saving Emeli Sandé, the new EDM overlords – does prompt the question: will we be listening to Deadmau5 in 40 years? Probably not. But will Virgin still be releasing hit records? Absolutely yes.

Selten haben zwei Dinge so gut zueinander gepasst wie Liebe und Musik. Beide sind untrennbar miteinander verbunden. Ein Leben ohne Liebe ist nicht vorstellbar; ein Leben ohne Musik kann nur ein Irrtum sein. Beide lassen uns fühlen, leiden, reißen uns mit und manchmal auch runter, lassen uns schier explodieren vor lauter Begeisterung, enttäuschen uns, euphorisieren uns. Sie bringen uns zum Lachen und zum Weinen. Und bei beiden steht eines im Mittelpunkt: das Gefühl.

Rarely have two things so well fitted together like love and music. Both are inseparable. A life without love is inconceivable; a life without music can only be a mistake. Both make us feel, suffer, tear us with and sometimes down, let's seemingly explode out of sheer enthusiasm, disappoint us, euphoric us. They make us laugh and cry. And in both of takes center stage: the feeling.
