Sink The Pink is a London-based collective of gender-fucked individuals who have been spreading glitter-soaked love across the capital (and beyond) for eight years now.
Loud, proud, outrageous, and much-loved, the collective recently decided that what London needs during the festive season is a riotous, flirty, and dirty it can call its very own.
Down The Rabbit Hole is a mash up of traditional panto and kinds of other weird things, funnelled through the unique vision that can only be termed as Sink The Pink.
Glyn Fussell is the co-founder of Sink The Pink – and he's in charge of this week's Singles Column.

Solange – 'Cranes in The Sky'
I have been waiting for this Solange album FOREVER. Apart from Miss Tina she has always been my favourite of the Knowles dynasty – if Beyonce weren't a robot she would be Solange, making real, honest, classic music with less camel toes!
This track has not disappointed and follows on from her amazing EP beautifully. I sometimes feel a lot of music is over complicated these days and the simplicity of this track just gets me big time. Can we PLEASE talk about that video too, it is 52 shades of MAJE!

Bakermat ft. Alex Clare – 'Living'
Oh give me a fucking break! What is going on with this cut copy paste music! Everybody ready for the drop now… Bye Felicia! Here is the thing: Alex Clare has got a great voice but I have heard this song a gazillion times before gift-wrapped as some other tripe.
I am sure this will do well with Radio 1 listeners but I will be switching off and putting Solange on. Actually I'd rather listen to Kenny G, on loop, whilst dancing on razor blades, with piranhas hanging off my sack than hear this again!

Sting – 'Can't Stop Thinking About You'
I love Sting, me – he is a timeless, tantric-sex-loving Geordie KING! That's why it pains me to say: I think this is shit! Look I don't know if I am exactly the demographic that is supposed to buy into this… Would my Mum love it? Probably not, she always thought Sting and Trudie Styler were a bit too kinky.
But: I digress. Anyway does Sting give a shit what I think? No! He is probably busy having an orgy in his jacuzzi of £50 notes!

Olly Murs – 'Grow Up'
Hmmmmmm… I really struggle with Mr. Murs! I almost have NO opinion on this song. It makes me want to buy Katie Melua's back catalogue, buy magnolia paint for my entire flat, only have sex in the missionary position, buy check shirts in Next, and watch X Factor! There you go.
Though he is almost the perfect post-reality TV pop star, never encouraging its listener to think, cute but not sexy, cheeky but without depth. I guess what I am trying to say is this is NOT FOR ME!

Twenty One Pilots – 'Lane Boy'
Yes I GAGS for this! In a world of Olly Murs I still hold out for tracks like this. On first listen this track released the little angry Bristol kid in me that still wants to fuck things up; the minute that drum 'n' bass beat hits, too, I found myself craving a litre of cider and sitting under an underpass! It also helps that the singer is HOT! I'd love to be his lane boy. Take me down your alley babes.
