About Agent Sumo
Consisting of Edinburgh native Martin Cole and the Leeds-born Steven Halliday, the electronica duo Agent Sumo took its name from two words put together from suggestions by friends. Although the two lived in Leeds at the same time for a period and frequented the same clubs, it wasn't until 1998 when the pair were living in London that they were introduced by a mutual friend. Together they produced a mix of the Seahorses' song "Love Is the Love," getting a copy to the band's John Squire (who was apparently non-plussed). An early independent release, 1999's "Sunflowers," made a name for them among the club community and Agent Sumo was signed to Virgin. Their first single for the label was "24 Hours," which found favor among fans of the genre and preceded the full-length album Do It Yourself (We Did), which was released in 2002. ~ Tom Demalon, All Music Guide

There You'll Be Faith Hill |
| Faith Hill is one of those country stars who enjoys massive popularity in America, with a career stretched over 16 years spawning 11 number ones, but have stuggled to expand it beyond her country's boundaries. "There you'll be", a wishy washy, epic ballad of the "memories of lost love" kind, was penned by the one and only Diane Warren and rejected by Celine Dion. Released in 2001 as the theme soundtrack from the movie "Pearl Harbour"; it reached number three in our charts and became Faith Hill's only UK top ten hit. And now, thanks to -yep, you guessed it- the ever growing power of television, is a surprise re-entry in our singles chart's top ten. Amy Connelly, one of this season's X factor contestants, chose it for a rendition that, apparently, brought jury Cheryl Cole to tears and triggered a downloading frenzy for the original among the popular show's viewers. Expect a greatest hits package released promptly, which could become one of this Christmas unexpected winners. | |
