It's Friday again, which means it's time for our weekly look at the best B-side adorning next week's single releases. To celebrate the fact that Alesha Dixon is set to crack the top 5 on downloads alone this weekend, it seems only right that we feature the flipside to 'Breathe Slow'.
In total contrast to previous single 'The Boy Does Nothing', 'Breathe Slow' is a midtempo R&B tune that finds Dixon in contemplative mood, and the B-side is a rather charming "piano mix" that really brings out the emotion in the lyrics.

Preferably surrounded by candles aplenty. Oh, and barefoot would be a must too. The full version is available on the CD single out on Monday, but for the time being here's a 30-second taster:
