You gotta love Nelly. Or most of the time you have to, anyway. Even when St Louis' finest churns out something seemingly as musically trite as Over And Over, it winds up humming around in your head for weeks.

And so to the umpteenth single from the Sweat/Suit albums, and once again Nelly's got his slinky Suit head on. Hot In Herre it ain't: That would be in more of a Sweat vein. If only. N Dey Say conjures up encounters with single mothers and the unemployed. See Nelly with his altruistic head on, and in a musical mood not so far from Over And Over. Once again, he just about scrapes by.

But there's no getting away from one cold, hard and unpalatable fact about N Dey Say; and that's how fundamentally it's built around a loop of Spandau Ballet's True. Now for one thing, it's been done before (PM Dawn, anyone?) and for another, you can't hum this one without being alarmingly reminded of Tony Hadley and the Kemps. Probably not an issue for audiences back home, but oh boy...
