Welcome to this week’s blog from the Hollyoaks music department.
This week’s musical highlights on Hollyoaks include:
‘Sylvia Plath’ by Ryan Adams – sometimes a song is chosen for it’s tone & the sentiment it evokes rather than how fitting the lyrics are and this is a great example of this. It plays under a scene where we see Mercedes’ heartfelt monologue to Mal at his graveside and the wistful & slightly melancholic tones of this track are perfectly suited the emotion we see portrayed here.
‘Riot Rhythm’ by Sleigh Bells – there is a grimey raunchiness to this track, which seemed fitting for Gaz’s lust filled glances in Heidi’s direction. We featured the Sleigh Bells track ‘Tell ‘Em’ in our ‘on our stereo’ section quite a while back, so it was nice to find a place for another of their tracks on the show.
‘Telephone (Alphabeat Remix)’ – Lady Gaga feat. Beyonce – our highlight of the week was definitely Duncan’s hilarious cheer leading try-out. The addition of the gym skirt really was a work of genius & what better to soundtrack his outrageous dance moves (all choreographed by the actor himself incidentally) than the queen of controversial performances! Thank you Duncan, you really did cheer our week right up.
On Our Stereo:
‘You Can Dance’ by Chilly Gonzales – a lovely little slice of disco funk here, sure to entice you off your backside and on to the dance-floor. Well, it certainly seems to have done just that for the ladies featured in this cheeky little video:

More musical goodies await on next week’s episodes of Hollyoaks, so until then…
