Jodie Aysha Henderson (born 22 November 1988 in Leeds, England) is an English singer and songwriter. Henderson had her first taste of success at the age of 18 when her song "Heartbroken", which she wrote when she was 14 about her older sister who at the time was heartbroken, was remixed by producer T2. "Heartbroken" reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart, only to be held off the top spot by X Factor winner Leona Lewis. "Heartbroken" remained on the number 2 spot for five consistent weeks and enjoyed 46 weeks in the UK Top 40 Singles Chart, and also became the most requested track ever on BBC Radio 1Xtra. Henderson is one of the youngest and first UK female artists of her generation to have her first single release become an equally international success when "Heartbroken" peaked at number 10 on the U.S. Billboard Dance Chart. She then went on to write another catchy follow-up, titled "So Typical La La La" which became another underground smash hit and peaked in the top 10 of the Music Weeks Commercial Pop Chart. Following her success, she then went on to become a songwriter for Sony/ATV Music Publishing UK.
Ice on the road, blood on the rail
A myth in the making newspapers sell
Another one falling
And no one is calling our names
Our names, our names
Treasonous treasures these towers of steel
Nothing so broken, nothing so real
The seasons keep turning
The sunshine is burning away
Away, away
I know it donít make it right
But once there was so much light
And here was the center of it all
Hard to believe a motherís dream
The most beautiful thing youíve ever seen
Thatís why we stay
In Cabrini-green
Damned in the doorways seeking their fill
Another brother spreading his will
I sing for my supper and pray for my mother today
Today, today
Out on the tarmac the boys and their ball
Scribble their fates up on the wall
Of silence and sirens a semblance of liars is born
