On 'Everything, in Time', her first album in a decade, UK singer Ella Eyre delivers empowering pop soul that's full of warmth, confidence and integrity

DANCING ON EYRE

“Where did I leave my soul? Where did I drop that ball?” asks Ella Eyre on her comeback album, Everything, in Time.

It has, after all, been 12 years since her husky voice snagged clubbers’ hearts when she guested on Rudimental’s chart-topping “Waiting All Night” (2013) and a decade since the release of her solo debut album, Feline (2015). Although she released the dancehall-inflected single “New Me” in 2020, she last achieved chart success singing on Sigala’s “Came Here for Love” (2017) and “Just Got Paid” (2018).

Sorry, trolls, autistic Barbie may be Mattel's best doll yet

From Barbie dolls with wheelchairs, canes, prosthetic legs and hearing aids; to blind Barbies and dolls with Down syndrome and type 1 diabetes - plus a Ken doll with vitiligo - playing with toys has come a long, long way since I last had a ragtag bunch of Barbie, Sindy and Jem dolls in the 1980s.

Should we explore Japan by car on our September trip?

Q We are planning a five-week trip to Japan in September. Bullet trains are the quickest way to get between major cities. However, in less populated areas, transport seems more difficult. As they drive on the same side of the road as us, we are thinking of hiring a car. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Much is made of Zahawi’s expertise and experience, and he claims that he humbly wishes to be a “foot soldier” in Farage’s army because “we can all see that our beautiful, ancient, kind, magical island story has reached a dark and dangerous chapter”.
