"Stop" - Sam Brown

Sam's in her mid 20s, blonde in a way that suggests it's from a bottle, has an emotional catch in her voice.

Here, Sam sings about a cheating lover, in a style that appears calm and serene but is really full of anger and barely-repressed rage. Smash Hits was impressed: "Barnstormer of a performance, gutsy but strangely vulnerable at the same time."

Sam's only big hit: the great voice was wasted on an unambitious second album, and her moment passed.
