Love Shakira, like Livvi Franc, don't dislike Pixie as much as I expected to but it's still hardly tickworthy. The Mika single manages to be worse than I expected which from the writer of "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)" is a feat indeed: THE BIT IN THE MIDDLE WHERE HE PUTS ON A GERMAN ACCENT OMG.

Mini Viva I only heard once, but sounded a bit underinspired. U2 and Muse I've not gone near.

Also the Mika keeps coming up in Spotify adverts, so extra Do Not Like.

The Pixie is an improvement, isn't it? She looks like she's having fun, at least.

Really Shakira and Mini Viva are the takeaways here.

Exactly. Much better than the grim Winehouse-isms of that first single.
