MANIC STREET PREACHERS - Some Kind Of NothingnessSome Kind of Nothingness sees a Manic Street Preachers' James Dean Bradfield Bradfield and Echo & a Bunnymen frontman Ian McCulloch trade lines that build to a crescendo of strings and subsidy vocals for their rather illusory second singular from their tenth (also rather fantastic) manuscript Postcards from a Young Man.
It is large commercial "classic" Manics on uncover here with a singalong vibe and good duetting with a Bunnyman, that even a large cheesy subsidy choir can't even ruin. Popping adult on Strictly Come Dancing to sell a few additional copies will hopefully see this troubling a top of a charts if there is any probity in this world.

LOTTE MULLAN - Can't Find The Words
Everybody knows that delayed and acoustic songs are utterly annoying and should be usually played on Radio 2 by Steve Wright - unless they come from a fretboard of Laura Marling etc. However, introducing Lotte Mullan, who releases a fantastic strain Can't Find The Words that can be filed in a 'Slow Songs That Aren't Sh*t' record next to Marling.
The outcome is a chillaxing square of blithe modern folk-pop with a good sip of good bass and drums that you'll wish to listen to again to comfortable up your soul on these cold wintery days. It is kinda like Portishead have made a folk single, that can't be bad can it? This recover has (apparently) now been put behind to a 27th, yet it is still really worth a listen now!

PATRICK WOLF - Time Of My Life
Patrick Wolf, a musician and hair dye maverick, utilises a far-reaching variety of instruments in his song and has combined a genre famous a 'folktronica' - that is a crafty mixture of a words 'folk' and 'electronica' combined by some shining wordsmith somewhere.
This singular edition 7" singular is a first taster of his energetically awaited new album. The result? It's fantastic! It is folky and with a exemplary and electronic sound that Ellie Goulding is substantially trying to find. Buying this won't means you to have the best time of your life, yet it positively won't harm your chances. However, it is balderdash that people can usually buy it on vinyl (no CD or download) though. Don't we know that usually anal morons buy singles on vinyl nowadays?

WILLOW SMITH - Whip My Hair
If we don't already know, afterwards Willow Smith is a daughter of a actual Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. According to information that we have received, a Fresh Prince is a male that wears black when fighting aliens and also hangs around with bad boys. Blimey!
Err...this is Will Smith's immature daughter Willow Smith. Despite a obvious reservations about fondness a strain by a ten-year aged kid (who has utterly an common deep voice on a evidence of this), this is a decent pop strain which creates it unfit to remonstrate with a "baby Rihanna" tag. But come on...she is ten! Sadly, a NSPCC are nonetheless to respond to a email about this foolish "young cocktail star" situation.

KYLIE MINOGUE - Better Than Today
Firstly, we would like to explain and answer a one doubt on a reader's lips. No, Kylie isn't wearing any prohibited pants in a video!
Kylie Minogue releases this, her third singular from new album Aphrodite, that is a traditional uninspiring Scissor Sisters-esque frisk that we have come to design from Kylie these days. Having pronounced that, it is a decent enough cocktail effort that almost creates up for a lack of jerk excitement with ticking a lot of boxes that you design from a good-ish commercial cocktail tune. It's only not a cup of tea.

WE ARE ENFANT TERRIBLE - Wild Child / Flesh & Blood Kids
Have we ever wanted a French chronicle of Peaches or Crystal Castles? If so, afterwards We Are Enfant Terrible might be a band for you. Sadly it caused some-more of a hurl of a eyebrows inside Banana HQ. For example, demeanour at a stupid 'attention-seeking' cover! Annoying.
Anyway, both marks here underline the unwashed headache-causing synths that we were expecting, with 1980s mechanism style bleeps and blips etc. However, Peaches has been doing this form of thing (and doing it most better) since a early noughties, so there is small point in investing in this. The Chew Lips remix of Wild Child competence be value further review though.

MICHAEL JACKSON attainment AKON - Hold My Hand
Michael Jackson is being used to sell a few annals here. How most is this is indeed a Jacko track? It sounds like a names on a sleeve should be switched around, as this sounds like Akon featuring Michael Jackson. Maybe even 'A CON featuring MICHAEL JACKSON' might be some-more fitting pretension here.
Anyway, no matter how most of this is Jacko or Akon - it will be serve proof that his new record was never going to compare Off The Wall and Thriller and they should maybe keep a poor guy's low-pitched reputation total by not vouchsafing "new Michael Jackson material" see a light of day.

JOE MCELDERRY - Someone Wake Me Up
Former X-Factor runner-up (to startle winners Rage Against The Machine) attempts go all Snow Patrol on us with this horribly tasteless guitar ballad Someone Wake Me Up. This lane is also a lead lane on a film Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of a Dawn Treader.
I was left perfectionist the accurate same defence as McElderry, as we escaped into my possess dream universe during this 3 minutes and twenty 7 seconds of complete mindless nauseating tosh.
