Sharleen Spiteri and co sound in pretty sprightly form on their latest single, with a bounce to the beat that recalls their 1999 hit Summer Son. The chorus to this one might not be so immediate, but, as with all Texas tunes, if you give it an inch it will take a mile - what seems innocuous on first hearing is burning a path to your musical brain by the third or fourth.

"I believe that you told me a promise laced with lies" is the intriguing opening, later resigned in the bridge passage to having "fallen for your sentimental charms again," frustration the obvious emotion.

With the customary sleek, immaculate production, the only thing that might grate here is Sharleen's tendency to draw out the notes in the verses - a mannerism I personally didn't warm too. Other than that? Business as usual.
