It’s now no secret that Sophie Monk is looking for somebody to love, thanks to the promo for the upcoming season of ‘The Bachelorette’ launching recently to an overwhelming response. Using the classic Queen song ‘Somebody To Love’, not only has this promo had a great reaction from viewers but it’s also been picked up by nearly every news outlet around Australia over the past week – cementing the fact that there is no use that the Queen catalogue can’t work with!

The latest single from acoustic guitar-toting Alex The Astronaut, ’Not Worth Hiding’ is a sweet female vocal-led tune that works to quell the political nature surrounding the sexuality of those not deemed ’straight’, from someone personally suffering from stigma. ’Not Worth Hiding’ is perfect for any pro-equality projects or coming of age stories.
