Sharleen Spiteri confessed last Saturday to the MailOnLine about her likes on music, films, books, art and TV. Quite eclectic her tastes which go from Abba to Marvin Gaye & The Stone Roses. Here the article.

Marvin Gaye and The Stone Roses: The eclectic tastes of Sharleen Spiteri 
[MailOnLine 27/4/2013]

The Texas frontwoman on why Let's Get It On is her favourite album of all time, the French movie that recently made her cry and the best concert she ever saw

'Mamma Mia! is pretty irresistible. I've now seen it four times,' said Sharleen Spiteri

Art

There’s something special about seeing a real  work of art for the first time that you’ve only previously known through seeing it in books or magazines. I first saw Edgar Degas’ Dancing Girls in print at the age of seven because I was really  into ballet. I got to see the actual painting when  I was 12 and the depth of it just astonished me. Recently I bought an amazing pencil drawing of Judy Garland by the illustrator Nina Fowler. She captures the pain  and loneliness in Garland’s life  so exquisitely. 

Musical

Mamma Mia! is pretty irresistible. I’ve now seen it four times. You can say that Abba are cheesy but you’d be wrong as they wrote  and recorded some of the best pop music of all time. The musical showcases those songs wonderfully well.

The Intouchables: Movies don't often make me cry but this one did

Film

The best movie I’ve seen recently is The Intouchables, a French movie about a carer who’s got a radical way of looking after people. He befriends this guy who has ended up in a wheelchair after a paragliding accident and would dearly love to be in love but has never had the bottle to approach a woman. But he’s in touch with this woman by letter. He’s never met her and never mentioned that he’s disabled. So the carer encourages him to take the plunge and get to know her properly. It’s so beautifully done. Movies don’t often make me cry but this one did. They were tears of happiness more than anything because the story is just so tender that it’s impossible not to be moved. 

TV

One of the great things about being a parent is that you get to inflict the shows from your childhood on your own children. When the HR Pufnstuf DVD came out a few years ago, we’d watch it on a continuous loop. It’s a life-size puppet show for kids and I was pleased to see that it has stood the test of time. It’s still magical. At the moment nothing comes close to Breaking Bad. It’s rock ’n’ roll TV at its best. It’s one of those shows that I love converting people to. It can be incredibly dark one moment and then you find yourself laughing out loud.

Album

My favourite ever is Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On. In the early Eighties I was living in this small flat with my best mate and we played it constantly. I could never ever get tired of those songs. The new Dexys album, One Day I’m Going To Soar, comes 26 years after the last one and was worth the wait. I’ve always been a big admirer of Kevin Rowland’s songwriting and this is the most emotionally raw stuff of his career. He’s one of the great one-offs. The Forever EP by the U.S. band Haim is the first record to blow my mind in a long time. The lead song, Better Off, is an astounding piece of songwriting. 
Perfume by Patrick Suskind

Books

In the late Eighties, Texas were preparing to do a show and someone handed me Patrick Suskind’s Perfume and I was gripped. The novel was so intoxicating that I no longer wanted to do the show and I later finished it in one sitting. There’s a genius to the way he evokes smells. I’m currently reading Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl, a brilliant novel about how we never quite know the people we fall in love with. It’s one of those novels that you discuss endlessly with your closest friends. 

Gig 

The best concert I ever saw was The Stone Roses in Glasgow in 1989. It was a perfect moment in time, a great band at the very height of their powers. Recently I saw Kraftwerk at the Tate and they were utterly compelling. They’ve been around for decades but still manage to sound like the sound of tomorrow.
