LET FOREVER BE

Chemical Brothers

I really hope this is a blip. There's some much better stuff on Surrender than this sad follow-up to Setting Sun (Out Of Control, for starters). This isn't terrible, it just sounds like the Chemical Brothers were told they had to do this so they weren't really that bothered with it. Oasis fans will buy it because there's a Gallagher on board, but personally I'd recommend waiting for the next single.

MI CHICO LATINO

Geri Halliwell

Apparently, Geri Halliwell doesn't sing from the heart. That's straight from Mel C, that is. Personally, I think it's a bit dodgy suggesting Geri can sing at all, but that's just me. To be fair, she tries a bit harder this time than she did on Look At Me, but there's still no spark there. It bobbles along gently, but that's all it does. The whole thing ends up like a goalless draw between Bury and Wimbledon - you sit through it, but you can't for the life of you recall anything of interest.

SO MANY WAYS

Ellie Campbell

Now if I was being cynical, I'd say that somebody heard Britney Spears' album, thought "Gosh, there's an exciting new sound", copied it outright and gave the songs to Ms Campbell to sing. Heaven forbid that should happen. If I hadn't heard of Britney Spears I'd dismiss this as harmless kiddiepop, but I have so this is harmless kiddiepop that I've heard before far too many times. Shouldn't there be a law against this sort of music?

WHY DID YOU LET MY KITTEN DIE?

Angelica

Life can be somewhat annoying. Like now, for instance. The best single I've heard this week and it's got possibly the sickest title I've seen in a long time. What sort of song would you expect here? A sad, melancholy Radiohead-wannabe? You'd be wrong. Yes, really. It's upbeat, it's rocking, it's all good fun and hasn't got a hope in hell of making the charts. You see, life really can be somewhat annoying.
