Lisa Polson had no idea when she recorded a cover of Cannonball for her debut album release that X-Factor winners Little Mix would also be releasing their version as a contender for Christmas number 1.
While we wish Little Mix well with their career, we have to say that it rather takes the soul out of what is a fantastic and haunting song.
Lisa has a tone to her voice that makes you want to keep listening and her guitar technique is impressive considering how long she has been playing.
While both versions (and of the course the classic Damien Rice original) will have their fans, we have to say that out of this weeks releases, Lisa Polson’s has the edge but sadly not the huge promotional budget of a major label to get it the attention it deserves.
Lisa’s version is out on 19th December, more details at www.lisapolson.com
