The stroppiest girlband around have released a new single. Their last two singles have been surprisingly good, so what would I think of Denial?
Denial is a weird song. Imagine a tasty three course meal served in a dustbin. That’s what Denial is like. The vocals are excellent and really catchy, but the music itself is rubbish. The synthy, dancy, repetitive tone of the track doesn’t go with the singing and as a result, this really brings the tune down, which is a big shame.
As much as we hate to admit it, we all love watching the X Factor. The lame auditions, Sharon Osbourne ranting on like an aunty whos just drank a whole bottle of sherry, Louis going in a massive strop because his acts have been voted out the show. Yes, we all watch it and enjoy it and then the realisation suddenly hits us… we now have one more reality tv star blocking up the top 40.
Despite being 2007’s winner, Leona Lewis is still around and enjoying a successful music career. I must admit at this point that I really did like previous single Bleeding Love, but this double A-side left me cold.
If you like pianos, warbling and saccharine vocals about love conquering everything then you’ll like these songs but I was a little bit bored. Better in Time is a bit more lively, and there’s no denying that Leona Lewis has a good set of pipes on her, but even then, neither single is really nothing special. Both singles can be found on Spirit (2007).

The Volcom ladies spring 2008 collection has just been released. Here are some of stand out pieces in the collection.

On the front is a large screen print with butterflies and on the back are a further couple of small prints.

Nice details include black pyramid nail heads at the front pocket, a logo zip pull and a small embroidered Stone icon behind the wearers right shoulder.
The Ghosts Among us is the debut album from American Hardcore band Our Last Night. Admittedly I’m not a big fan of hardcore (I think I must be getting old!) but I tried to listen with an open mind, and speakers turned up to eleven.
This album is hardcore to the…um…well…the core. Shouty verses and melodic choruses, fast drums and guitars - it reminded me of a less poppy Linkin Park. I particularly liked the melodic Timing is Everything and the punk-tinged Recovery.
Did this album change my opinion of hardcore? Not particularly. But if you’re a big fan of the genre, I think this band would be a very good addition to your music collection.
The Etnies Dasit punches well above its weight with classic vulcanised construction and all the technical features you’d expect from an A-list skate shoe.
Synthetic Nubuck upper with trademark Etnies E logo, perforated toecap, padded tongue and collar, elastic tongue centering straps and maximum impact protection from the STI foam footbed. The future’s bright!
Girls Aloud seem to be more famous right now for getting drunk, turning an increasingly vibrant shade of orange, and taking back their philandering husbands rather than for the music they make. Will their latest single from album Tangled up buck the trend?
Can’t Speak French starts well - with lots of synth and rockin’ guitars, but it plods along for the whole four minutes and at the end of it you can’t remember how it went anymore. All in all it’s a little bit forgettable, and lacks the punch of the last two singles the girl group released.
