Out This Week

So 'Big Brother' is over for another year and you suddenly have an extra eight hours in your week. Why not make a start at filling this new expanse of free time by perusing this week's offering of singles...

Grace 'Sink Like A Stone' (Charisma)
*Bites fist to prevent self from making obvious song-title based joke* Though it's fair to say that Grace's previous single did somewhat disappear without trace. It was probably what the record company like to call 'a soft launch' which is a euphemism for 'we realised the record wasn't going to do very well so we released it without much fanfare but now we'd like you to concentrate on this new record and not let your judgement be tainted by the fact the last one stiffed'. So concentrating on this new record, we think it sounds like ace Norwegian romantics Lorraine have come back with a new, slightly rock direction. There's a category we'd like to see in HMV: Slightly Rock. Alongside: Vaguely Folk, Occasionally Reggae and A Bit Dance.
