Some New Ones

t.A.T.u.- Gomenasai
The lovely Russian girls release their 3rd single of 'Dangerous and Moving' this spring with the start of their new world tour. The song is a sweet electronic-string ballad which features Richard Carpenter doing the string arrangements for the track. The song truly proves how vocally capable these girls are as their voices is the highlight in this production. The song is their first ballad that is being re
leased as a single and overall, it is truly beautiful and shows how talented the girls are vocally.

5/5
Moving and bewitching.

Nelly Furtado- Promiscuous
Let me start by talking about the
beginning of this song. It has a talking intro which goes a little like this:
Nelly: Am I throwing you off?
'Gan
sta' Man: Nope.
Nelly:
Didn't think so.
Tis funny, no? Well, this song is a hip-hop flavored track about a girl who is not a slut but likes to lead guys on but then backs down and then comes around and tells the guy she's a little bit freaky. It's basically one big run-on sentence. It goes back and forth. Here's a little FYI for you. The track that leaked at the same time as this one titled 'Maneater' was scheduled to be the first single off her upcoming album 'Loose', but did not go with Nelly's "people". This track is fun anyway and has a cool synth-hop hook.

4/5
Maneater is better.

William Orbit- Spiral (ft. Sugababes)
Hmm... this track makes me sleepy. It's like a dream. It's all electronic and probable has no real instruments but it is pretty nice. It features Sugababes and Kenna on vocals (but it's just gonna be William Orbit ft. Sugababes, because frankly, who gives a shit about Kenna?) There is really not much to say about this track since it is quite simple. I love but it's too pre-made in a sense.

4/5
Sophisticated and incomplex at the same time.




Dido- Making the Most Out of Life
I honestly can't tell you what this song is about or what it sounds like because nobody heard it. All I know is that it is her comeback single and it's confirmed as it is on the release list.
