Rachel Stevens - Sweet Dreams My L.A. ExDangerously good debut single from former seal clubber Ms. Stevens. Bizarrely, she got even better after this, but less popular. A bit like some kind of mutated supervirus.
Phixx - Hold On Me
Phixx weren’t even good enough to be in One True Voice, yet this was a million times better than the bunch of Jason Donovan b-sides that lot released. A proper big boyband song, with “Yeah”s, “Woah”s and other more vocal but still ridiculous lyrics like “I’m weak to the taste of your seduction”. Amazing.
Kelis - Finest Dreams
Richard X established the template for his sexy electro fashionpop with this slinky little number. It gets a bit lifeless in between the first and second minute mark, but mostly this is quite brilliant.
Lumidee - Never Leave You
Summer barbeque staple where it didn’t matter that exactly the same thing happens, repeatedly, for nearly four solid minutes, as long as you had some warm beer, a nearly-cooked hot dog and the ability to ‘tune out a bit’.
Stacie Orrico - Stuck
Pity poor Stacie, who sings here “I hate you, but I love you”. What a predicament. We feel exactly the same way about Pot Noodles.
Mark Owen - Four Minute Warning
Marky!
Kylie Minogue - Slow
After listening to a load of Fischerspooner albums and still deciding not to work with them, this is officially the point when the brave pop poppet’s fun-to-seriousness ratio went a bit wonky.
