I'm really liking this too now - much better than anything from the previous era IMO.
#13 on US iTunes.

That cover art is awful, the picture and font are both cheap/crap - did somebody let the work experience kid loose with Paint at Fascination? This fanmade one is much better: As for song, it's really growing on me now!

His voice really grates on me sometimes - I could just about bear it on "Hope There's Someone" and it was actually rather good on "Blind", this is probably going to annoy me I'm afraid. Here's the full video: uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qp23w0v-GB8

Tell me "A-Punk" isn't being re-released as the next single. Ugh, what a mess. It's being re-released as a download only single on 27 October, and has been playlisted again at Radio 1 on their C-list. RELEASE WALCOTT YOU NUMBNUTS!

I love this - though it does sounds like Girls Aloud doing a cover of "Monster Mash"!

I have a link if you're still looking for it, Will. This is not on UK iTunes - apparently we have to wait until 10th November.

I loved this at the time, but then I've always been a fan of Seal's vocals.
This got to #6 in the UK 6 years ago, back in October 2002!

It's ok, I thought the intro sounded very much like Down Under" by Men at Work.

A new song "Ottoman" is floating around on the internet! Edit- should have read Will's post up the page. Oh well, it's leaked now anyways.

Ooh interesting choice. If I'm honest I was expecting "Creator" next as that was used in the advert and managed to chart without any promo when the album was released here. I'm happy with this though, with the choices she's made so far have been perfect at demonstrating her versatility. I always think of Alan Partridge though when I see the title written out.

It's good, the whole album is. Apparently it's the 2nd single... I was hoping for "Closer" though!

Yeah this is catchy, it's not one of my favourites - but it's still good. The album is so 80s though - she even sings the line 'I see you had a hit in '89'" on "Professional Suicide".

Artwork and CD single tracklisting: 01. The Lovers Are Losing 02. Time To Go Prefer the artwork for "Spiralling" - but this is a good song. Looking forward to the album now!

I liked "Lipstick", and "Knockdown" was alright too - I'm interested in hearing it!

All she needs to do is release "The Captain and the Hourglass" and she will have released all my favourite tracks from the album! ;D I wonder if "Night Terror" will yet again stall at #2 on my personal chart though? She seems to release her singles at the same time as my favourite tracks of the year - and now I reckon "Kids" will inevitably stop her.

"Beat Control" debuts at #153 on the UK singles chart - the CD/7" release has been moved back to 6th October and the song is now B-listed on Radio 1!

The title translates roughly as "within me a lunatic sings" Charts in the UK at #152..

This is going to be Robyn's next UK single - due 24th November. Pete Tong picked it up and has been playing it on his show, which I guess is the reason it's been tentatively given a commercial release date.
It was a bonus track on the US version of her self-titled album, and originally appeared on Christian Falk's 2006 album People Say.
Here's an old promo video:

#4 in the end, hilariously misses out on being their 7th consecutive Top 3 hit by just 6 copies!! This week it's currently down to #17 in the midweeks.
