The cover story of the June 2007 issue of Speak Up was How Good Is Their English?, a test of the language skills of Italian pop stars. Written by Fergal Kavanagh, this led to regular feature The Song, where Speak Up’s esperto musicale looked at the story behind a song and analysed the lyrics. Many of these have also been published in the Brazilian edition of Speak Up.
