Single Releases 03/07/06

Well as I won't be around early next week, here's an early (and somewhat brief) look at the singles on release on Monday.

WORLD HOLD ON (BOB SINCLAR) - More whistles from the French bloke. It's ok, but as with most "dance" artists these days, as you've heard his other tune, you pretty much know how this one goes.

A LITTLE LESS SIXTEEN CANDLES, A LITTLE MORE TOUCH ME (FALL OUT BOY) - Great title...average song...Ok, I lied. It's a bloody terrible title as well.

SHEILA (JAMIE T) - He's got quite the buzz around him as Jamie T and to an extent this both shows why he does have that buzz and why it's also not quite justified yet.

EANIE MEANIE (JIM NOIR) - See now as a snippet on a TV advert this is quite wonderful. As a stand-alone song, it's just ok.

SMILE (LILY ALLEN) - Well I've been banging on about her for ages, and finally it's a proper single release for Lily. This is great, nice and summery, and the B-Side (Cheryl Tweedy) is quite a treat too.

PULL SHAPES (PIPETTES) - I like the Pipettes. Having said that, this isn't quite as good as the superb "Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me" but it's near enough to be another quite brilliant single.

IN THE MORNING (RAZORLIGHT) - First of all, what the hell is old Johnny boy wearing in the video to this? Bizarre. Anyway, this is quite a catchy tune which at various points almost goes "disco"...which sadly is reminscent of Shed Seven.

ON THE RADIO (REGINA SPEKTOR) - A nice "proper" introduction to Regina, although not quite as "off-the-wall" as her other stuff.
