Hrrm, 2x good singles from GREAT artists with much better songs around.
Nicole Scherzinger - this has grown loads on me after Kat and I saw her sing it mere METRES from us last night and Kat realised that vocally, in the verses, she is v Hansonesque! It's a nice enough midtempo thing but where are 'Whatever U Like' and 'Super Villain'? That said given how she's apparently flopped in the US it's perhaps wise to hedge one's bets - give her time to build up her brand, don't waste the real stormers on a first single which won't necessarily be a big hit, save the best for later...
Roisin Murphy - still v much 'any good at all' but probably the worst song on her AMAZING album!
Freemasons - gothbosh! This is a cover of an old, tuneless, rubbish Alanis Morissette song if I am correct. It's still tuneless but quite an appealing mood thing.
Who/what are One Republic and why is Timbaland working with them? That's terrible.
They're a kind of neopostpunk US act, and rubbish, one of a string of recent horrifically misjudged Tim collaborations (see also The Hives, was it? and Duran Duran).
Yeah The Hives are on the album, as are Fall Out Boy and...some other terrible people, I forget who.
I was actually sort of interested in hearing the song he did for Duran Duran but have heard it's pretty bad from a variety of sources and life is too short, really.
