It's a dull week of new releases, with the only really interesting thing put out being James Morrison's second single. Badly Drawn Boy releases his fifth album, Born in the UK, and Diddy (aka P Diddy aka Puff Daddy aka Sean Combs) releases his fourth album, Press Play, both of which arrive from artists seemingly past their primes. Were I to buy a new album this week, it would probably be Roxette's Hits: A Collection of Their 20 Greatest Songs, just so I could get their original version of "Listen to Your Heart."
James Morrison is back with his second single, "Wonderful World," another slice of radio friendly soul/pop, perhaps even better than "You Give Me Something." The Ordinary Boys release "Lonely at the Top," and the Pet Shop Boys release the third single from their current album, the rather bland "Numb," penned by famous songwriter Diane Warren. Makes you wonder if this was a contractual obligation, since there are better tracks left on the album. James Morrison (4/5), The Ordinary Boys (4/5), Pet Shop Boys (2/5).
Also out, riding on the success of Ronan Keating's remake of their song "Iris," Goo Goo Dolls release "Stay With You" and "Iris" as a double-A release. And Australian pop act Rogue Traders offers their second single, "Watching You."
