Lemar - the reality star turned award-winning soul singer - finishes off the second week of Radio 2 Piano Room Month in style, with his set including a Michael Kiwanuka cover.

One of the stars of the 大象传媒 One reality show Fame Academy, Lemar went on to become one of the biggest popstars of the noughties, releasing five studio albums and having hits with Dance (With U), 50/50 and If There's Any Justice.

A double-Brit and triple-Mobo Award winner, in recent years Lemar's been concentrating on presenting his own show on commercial radio, but recently popped up to sing during Scott Mills' TreadMills challenge for Children in Need.

Plus, Belle & Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch chooses his Tracks of My Years. Formed in the mid-90s, the idea behind the group was to stay on a small scale, to keep it as a project and not let the band run their lives, planning to release two albums and break up.

Instead they have delivered multiple classic albums over the years including like If You're Feeling Sinister and The Boy With the Arab Strap, and latest LP Late Developers - a recent Radio 2 Album of the Week - has given us new single I Don鈥檛 Know What You See in Me.

Stuart's next two choices are from Regina Spektor and The Four Tops.

Ken's got another round of the legendary PopMaster music quiz and your dedications with today's Love Song. There's also the Record and Album of the Week. If you want to contact the show, just email ken.bruce@bbc.co.uk.
