Louise - former member of Eternal turned solo star - performs three songs live alongside the 成人快手 Concert Orchestra for Radio 2 Piano Room Month 2023.

During the first stage of her career in the 90s and 00s, Louise had 18 top 20 singles - six with Eternal and 12 solo. Her debut album Naked sold over a million copies and overall she has sold over 15 million records worldwide and five million records in the UK.

In the 21st century, Louise expanded in to acting and TV presenting, returning to music in recent years with the release of her first album in 16 years, Heavy Love. This June, she'll release her 'Greatest Hits' album, with 30 tracks spanning from 1993 to 2023.

Radio 2 Piano Room Month sees an abundance of world famous award-winning artists gather to perform exclusively with the 成人快手 Concert Orchestra, and each artist will be performing three tracks - a new song, one of their well-known tracks, and a classic cover version from another artist - with members of the 成人快手 Concert Orchestra accompanying.

Plus iconic soul singer Madeline Bell chooses the Tracks Of My Years all this week. A member of the 60s and 70s pop group Blue Mink, Madeline鈥檚 almost as well known for her time as one of music鈥檚 most in-demand backing singers - Serge Gainsbourg, The Rolling Stones, Donovan and Dusty Springfield have all utilised Madeline鈥檚 talents.

Madeline joins Ken ahead of her special 80th birthday concert at London鈥檚 Cadogan Hall on Saturday 18th February, which sees Matthew Jones conducting the English Chamber Orchestra, alongside Madeline and her friend Kiki Dee, in a celebration of her achievements.

Madeline鈥檚 next two choices are from Dusty Springfield and Stevie Wonder.

Plus, Ken's got another round of the legendary PopMaster music quiz and your dedications with today's love song. There's also the Record and Album of the Week.
