Sounds a bit too much like Chewing Gum but maybe it'll grow on me. I was expecting something a bit for up to date...Uffie-style or something.

^ Apparently it'll be a 12" only non-album track to bridg the gap between 'Anniemal' and her new stuff. The new album is supposed to sound very different...
The actual title of this song is "I Know Your Girlfriend Hates Me" I'm glad it's not a sign of what her new album is gonna be like as it is very similar though it is alright though.

'Don't Stop' Album Sampler [DiscoPop reviewed] ››

 

I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me

Ugly text-speak typography aside, this a a great little pop nugget. A sonic sister to Annie's Chewing Gum, it suggests that writer/producer Richard X hasn't progressed much since Some Girls in 2004. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The song climaxes, for no apparent reason, with the sound of an ice cream van.

Key lyric: Ring-a-ding-a-ding-ding-ding-ding, Ring-a-ding-a-ding-ding

 

My Love Is Better

There are no liner notes on the CD, but I'm willing to bet my right arm that this is a Xenomania track. I've always found the team's non-Girls Aloud songs rather anonymous, but this one perfectly captures the feisty funk of the former Pop Stars finalists. The lyrics are basically saying 'I'm better than you, so ner ner ner' and, if I'm not mistaken, the actual Girls Aloud are hanging around on backing vocal duties.

Key lyric: Betting that your bark has nothing on my bite.

 

When the Night

Annie is experiencing some nocturnal angst, like Dracula but without the blood lust. A classy, understated ballad that wouldn't sound out of place on the Pet Shop Boy's Behaviour album.

Key lyric: I'm burning like a moth attracted to the flame, but better that I burn than slowly fade away.

 

Marie Cherie

A song about Nobel prize-winning radioactivity pioneer Marie Curie [are you sure about this? - Ed]. Another dramatic ballad, replete with sweeping strings and whispered harmonies. Serge Gainsbourg would be proud. And so would St Etienne. Me, I'm not so sure...

Key lyric: Her skin's like velvet cream. She never made a sweet sixteen.

 

Songs Remind Me of You

The only track on this sampler that brings to mind the extended disco magnificence of Come Together from Annie's debut, Anniemal. Focused around a bubbling Giorgio Moroder bassline, the song is addressed to a former lover whose songs haunt Annie's every waking minute. It ends with a gong, as all great pop songs should.

Key lyric: How does it feel to hear your songs on the radio?

Girlfriend is abysmal. A bland re-hash of Chewing Gum with alright verses but completely forgettable choruses. Poor.

679 Recordings who put out her last record was a Warner Music label.

You should be able to get an MQ rip from the video.

 

That album cover is awful. She looks desperate and as if she's never slept.

As Khia so TRUTHFULLY and WISTFULLY says: "Do the hater walk".

I really like this, it's probably my second favourite of hers now behind 'Me Plus One'. Really good video too, hopefully she can get some real success this time around.

Island have put out an album sampler. Sounds very promising.

 

Xenomania have produced half the album I'd have said....

Sampler sounds amazing, especially 'My Love Is Better' and the track which follows. :heart:

Well that's a step up from your dislike of the lead single :o
Even 'Girlfriend' sounds better in HQ! :heehee: Still a tad weak though.
