Chipmunk has already released a fine debut album - League Of My Own, which came out last year. I'm sure his next album will all be as sharp, funny and propulsive as "Diamond Rings."

The armed forces have sent out their most experienced search parties in treacherous conditions to try to find the tune in "Crying Lightning."

I didn't like VV Brown from the moment I saw her on Later but she seemed to have a great deal more energy and drive than are evident in this single, which is so blanded out sonically that it's hard to detect any personality or metaphors, mixed or otherwise. It plays like a duff 1983 Belle Stars album track but really it could have been done by anybody. The British music industry not knowing what to do with female talent, part 59895.
