It’s release number one for Sugababes ‘Take 4’, but rather than sounding like a desperate bid to win back fans,‘About A Girl’ is a strident, sexy number complete with an arresting synth intro, chant-along chorus and commands to ‘have a party on’. Take their advice and get the soiree started with the trio’s comeback single proper.
It’s easy to forget but before Michelle McManus won series two, Will Young was Pop Idol’s brightest star. Twelve solo singles later, (just a smidgen more than Michelle), the reality show crooner is to release his first collection of them. Promoting The Hits is ‘Hopes & Fears’, a track that finds Will on strikingly soulful form, on a warm track perfect for a cosy winter.
There is something so filmic about Paloma Faith's voice that whenever she sings it is easy to imagine her sitting atop a piano in a smoky bar, serenading the crowd. Though she has, reasonably, garnered comparisons to Amy Winehouse and Duffy, Paloma's music is even more alluring than the former and less naïve than the latter.
Blair Mackichan, the man responsible for producing Lily Allen and Sia's UK debuts, also twiddled the knobs on Paloma's first full-length outing. Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful? is modern pop once again looking to the past; but, in a refreshing display of individuality, Paloma chooses sophisticated jazz-tinged tunes over 80’s pastiche. Yes, she shares the same flame-red hair as Elly Jackson, yet her music couldn’t be more different. Paloma's debut is a strong, lovingly-crafted set - one of the classiest of 2009.
After pursuing a solo career outside of a popular yet troubled band and tasting success for yourself, being offered to help finish one of your fellow bandmate’s uncompleted solo efforts may not seem like the most welcoming prospect. Yet, in 1987 the members of Fleetwood Mac put aside their differences to finish off Lindsey Buckingham's attempted second album which later became Tango In The Night, their 14th opus.
Stevie Nicks floats on and off the album without much impact, (perhaps she was too busy with her own career), and is unexpectedly soppy on tracks like 'Seven Wonders'. Buckingham and Christine McVie do most of the songwriting and harmonies for the album, with McVie belting out stellar hits ‘Everywhere’ and ‘Little Lies’ as Buckingham focuses on rockier numbers like the title track. Even both sides of the male/female exchange on the frantic ‘Big Love’ are, surprisingly, sung by him and not with Nicks. That ought to make you think twice next time ‘her’ breathy responses get you hot and bothered.
Tango In The Night is the epitome of pop-rock crossover. With a mix of brooding lyrics and upbeat melodies, the album deserves to step out of the shadow of Rumours at last.
