Melanie Blatt, the All Saints singer, has shared her ultimate playlist, revealing the songs that have shaped her life. From Stevie Wonder's 'Have a Talk With God', which she first fell in love with from her father's record collection, to the Prince tearjerker she wants played at her funeral.
Blatt recalled buying Janet Jackson's 'What Have You Done for Me Lately' as her first single, but was disappointed to find the 12-inch version contained only remixes. For karaoke, she enjoys Neneh Cherry's 'Buffalo Stance', claiming she can do all the rap and singing bits.
The singer admitted she struggles to remember lyrics, even for her own songs, and relies on a fan who brings lyric cards to gigs. Her top party song is Nothin' by NORE, and she secretly loves 'E for Electro' by Hi_Tack and Johnny Crockett, which she recently rediscovered.
Blatt's morning anthem is 'Worries' by LZee, Toddla T and Naomi Cohen, while 'Never Ever' by All Saints changed her life by giving her a No 1 hit and the ability to travel and buy houses. For her funeral, she wants Prince's 'Sometimes It Snows in April' to make people cry.
Blatt has partnered with National Rail to create audio guides to 200 locations.
