On 26 November Finnish pop sensation Katéa brings her huge voice and even bigger potential to the Lexington in London for the final Ja Ja Ja club night of 2015.

Drawing comparisons to Florence, Lana and Lorde, the Finn released her epic, piano-laden debut single "That Ain't Love" back in April of this year to all-round rave reviews and she joins Sweden's Colleagues and Denmark's AV AV AV in closing out our Nordic fun for this year.

Given the title of her debut single, we asked Katéa to become our relationship doctor and provide us with some songs for a series of dating dilemmas and scenarios. Here is Katéa's musical prescription:

I caught my other half cheating on me…

Daughter - "Youth"

"And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones. 'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs. Setting fire to our insides for fun. Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong. The lovers that went wrong."

He/she forgot our 6 week anniversary…

Journey - "Don’t Stop Believing"

When facing the terrible tragedy of being neglected on your six week anniversary you just have to keep your head held high and remember: ”Don’t stop believing, hold on to that feeling."

He/she won’t reply to my texts/tweets/PMs…

A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera - "Say Something"

Well….you know.

It’s, errr, "go time"…

Joni Mitchell - ‘A Case Of You’ - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YuaZcylk_o

One of my ultimate favourites.

It’s not you, it’s me… [It’s over].

Frank Sinatra - "That’s Life"

"I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate poet, a pawn and a king / I've been up and down and over and out / and I know one thing each time I find myself flat on my face / I pick myself up and get back in the race. That's life."

I drunk messaged my ex…

Eminem - "Not Afraid"

Now this is the song I’d listen to while scrolling my phone for the message..

He/She won’t make it Facebook official…

The Police - "Every Breath You Take"

Just...make it official.

I think I’m in love…

Julie Andrews (Sound Of Music) - "The Hills Are Alive"

Yup. I go running around the city like Julie in this video. I'm actually serious.

I love you, but you’re dragging me down…

Leonard Cohen - "Famous Blue Raincoat"

"If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me. Well your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free. Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes I thought it was there for good so I never tried."

The morning after the one night stand…

Queen - "The Show Must Go On"

The title and Freddie with that outfit in the video says it all.
