One of the best feelings in pop music is when an artist you love picks your favourite track from their album as the next single. It's like everything just clicking perfectly into place, playing out to your own designs.
And this is the case with Rebecca Ferguson's brilliant album Heaven - following a host of ecstatic reviews (some of the best ever received by an X Factor contestant), she'll be releasing the fabulous Too Good To Lose as the follow-up to Nothing's Real But Love.
On the album, Too Good To Lose comes as the record's definitive standout moment, a rare journey into up-tempo for Rebecca, but one she handles with just as much ease as her lush, spacious ballads. With lashings of jazzy synth riffs and a smatter of drum machine, its real charm comes from the fact that while it dares to add a bit of real excitement to the LP, it still manages to slot effortlessly alongside the more traditional songs.
It's also a riveting look forward to the kind of amazing super-pop Rebecca could make - in the right hands (and possibly with a few rappers tossed in for good measure) - in the future.
