SINGLE OF THE WEEK - Plan B " Prayin' "

Its fair to say that Ben Drew a.k.a Plan B is having one hell of a year. His album , the epically titled The Defamation Of Strickland Banks has already hit Number1 , providing two of the anthems of 2010 in the form of Stay Too Long and the Winehouse-esque She Said.
The hat trick is completed then with 3rd offering Prayin. A soaring , soul ballad of redemption and pleading.
Plan B's transition from grimey wideboy to soul man has been one of the years revelations.
His album on eof the definitive soundtarcks to the year in music. Oddly omitted from the Mercury Prize shortlist , a heap of awards surely await Plan B.
Prayin is already lodged in the lower half of the Top 20 and gaining huge airplay, although it may not eclipse the conquering glory of the previous two singles , its every inch as anthemic.

RATING 8/10
