Out This Week

It may have been another long weekend but the world of pop has beavered on to deliver the following releases to a shop near you. So was it worth their while or should they have been rain bathing with the rest of us...

Scissor Sisters 'Kiss You Off' (Polydor)
Rarely do we hear what Ana Matronic sounds like on her own, but here she gets her very own defiant lady strut - and we're sorry to say she's on pretty poor form. Admittedly, she's mainly in the band to look glamorous and give Jake someone to gurn at, but this, the fourth single from 'Ta-Dah', may confirm anyone's suspicions that she plays no more than a 'Chas Smash in Madness' role. "You say you see what's underneath and the gloss has washed away" sings Ana. Indeed.

They cop off in the video but is the song any cop?
Reverend And The Makers 'Heavyweight Champion Of The World'
