The clocks have gone forward, the weather is scarily sporadic, even bloody Countryfile is moving slots. Is there no consistency in the world anymore?! Can we rely on nothing?! Well, you can rely on our Single Reviews (most of the time), and, if you read on, you’ll also find that you can rely on the Pussycat Dolls to be talentless trollops.
Given her lack of UK success and supposed spat with US label boss Jay-Z , we were a tad worried we’d seen the last of
Lady Sovereign. And yet, here she is, back with a radio-friendly but uncompromising display of personality in the Cure-sampling masterpiece that is
So Human. Classically hilarious and adept Sov, but with a 2009 renovation, it’s an easily-bestowed
Single of the Week.
Another returning party from the Caucasian rap quarter this week comes in the form of
Just Jack, with the outstanding
Embers. Tingle-inducing strings and cheeky handclaps provide an exceptional backing for the inimitably frank vocals that rightfully made the nation’s ears prick up, although it seems undiluted, straight-down-the-line singing has overtaken the Home Counties hip-hop leanings as Jack’s calling card.
Bastardising the joyous climax to
Slumdog Millionaire are the grotesque
Pussycat Dolls, who take a break from spreading
venereal disease their paltry R&B to dry-hump the Oscars bandwagon. And while Nicole’s backing scutters provide precisely NO vocals to
Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny) whatsoever, the head harlot herself fails to even pronounce the song’s title correctly. As if offences against music and feminism weren’t enough, they’re now guilty for crimes against cinema.
And finally, yet another one-man electrofest to add to the pile, although thankfully
Frankmusik is evidently a cut above many of his contemporaries. Most people from Thornton Heath leave a trail of greasy chicken boxes behind them, so the fact alone that he’s amounted to something more than a feral mong on the 109 warrants massive respect, and that’s even before you consider the catchy – if slightly jaded – charms of
Better Off As Two. FYI, Calvin Harris, you may want to take note...
