In another quiet week for single releases I can offer you...
Nicola Roberts- Yo-Yo
Former Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts releases this, the third single from her debut solo album. Built around the metaphor of her relationship being like a yo-yo, it’s a pleasant mix of synth backing and emotional vocals. It’s hardly the most revolutionary track you’ll hear this year but it’s actually really fun to listen to and, dare I say it, catchy as it reaches its crescendo of a conclusion. Benefiting for some interesting production at times it’s worth a download even if the obvious drum machine gets tedious at times and some of the lyrics are a little clichéd. (7/10)
Goldfrapp - Melancholy Sky
A new track from their greatest hits, released next month, its feeling certainly fits in with the word melancholy. It’s a very laid back track and, even though I was prepared to dislike it in the first thirty seconds, it’s actually a well produced, calming and atmospheric track with Alison Goldfrapp’s silky vocals floating nicely around a string backing. With echoes of Radiohead’s ‘No Surprises’, and a similar tone, plus some other influences that I can’t quite put my finger on it is a good addition to their discography. (6.5/10)
