Calling her new single Cool may be asking for a snippy one-line review along the lines of: "Not by any current definition of the word." But actually it's not quite as objectionable as I expected. Lacking the Outbreak-level infectiousness of What You Waiting For but far more palatable than the execrable Rich Girl Cool has a breezy easiness about it and, with its synthy simplicity and bubblegum lyrics, an undeniable (and presumably intended) 1980s vibe.

You can easily imagine this song playing in the background of a John Hughes film and, if it hasn't already, it's bound to soon crop up soundtracking something pink-hued and perky starring Hilary Duff. Yes, for some reason known only to her, tonight Matthew, Gwen Stefani will be...Tiffany!.
