Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

Emma Bunton: Downtown
[Life in Mono]

24 Emma Bunton – Downtown

Not dissimilar to the Petula Clark original and, thus, totally pointless. Also, in the video someone’scocked up the aspect ratio. Either that, or the camera’s been set to “fat” mode.

Take That: Patience
[Beautiful World]

4 Take That – Patience

Their comeback single sounds as dull as whatever Embrace last put out (not the football thing which waseven worse). Expect their return to be fleeting.

Akon: Smack That
[Konvicted]

1 (12) Akon – Smack That *1st Week at No.1*

The usual rubbish.
