"There's nothing quite like the feeling when you're listening to a song written by someone you don't know, who you've never met, who somehow manages to describe exactly how you felt at a particular moment in your life.  This next artist is able to do that time after time, its for that reason that she is number one in an astonishing 17 countries.  If you've ever had a broken heart you're about to remember it now."
