You are the Generation that Bought more Shoes and You get what You Deserve Mercury
With a title even longer than a Morrissey tune, this Liverpool/London duo are hoping to recreate Spector's Wall of Sound by the Mersey. Deserves another listen.
Sick and Tired Epic/Daylight
She's been all outta love and left outside alone, and now she's sick and tired, but don't worry: Anastasia always bounces back, and though this one's not her catchiest, it'll probably do the biz.
We Are Epic
Watch out, Kirsten Dunst, this Swedish babe has Spidey in her web with this catchy, Evanescence-type tune from the Spider-Man 2 soundtrack. Are we hooked? We are.
Just a Man Wikid
It's the return of the Mack - really. With his career cut short by a spell in the clink, the former bad boy of UK r 'n' b has a bit of catching up to do. Perhaps a duet with Peter Andre might help.
My Happy Ending Arista
Wow, Avril must be growing up - she's got more to complain about than having to clean her room. This is, like, a broken relationship song; I shall call her Mini-Morissette.
Guilty Universal
Their last single, In the Shadows, was a hit for these Finnish goths, and the follow-up is a similarly shouty crowd-pleaser. Mus we fling this pop at our filthy kids?
Beat It New State Recordings
The Lord of Latino electronica has taken Wacko's moonwalk and replaced it with a merengue, but sadly, Senor Coconut's magic only works on synthy stuff by Kraftwerk or hoary old heavy metal by Deep Purple.
