Fellow Mancunian Doug Walker was a relative unknown before the release of 'The Mystery', his first single - but thanks to some creative stalking of Radio 1 DJ's Chris Moyles and subsequent airplay has found his initial chart success.
The song is a high-impact vocal piano track with boundless energy - no doubt the perfect sort of uplifting track for its initial 7.20am playback. It's not the most artful song ever, nor the most original, but as a debut it could be a sign of greater things to come.
What next?More by Doug Walker? More reviews? More pop, or indie?
