 The run-up to the release of Nadine Coyle's solo album, solo single, solo ANYTHING has been so drawn-out and fraught with panic that it makes The Wanted's now legendary single campaign look like a whimsical three-day jaunt.
We heard one of her demos several months ago and it was - we'll be honest here readers - bloody boring, but under the expert guidance of manager 'Big Apple Bruce' she's been in enough studios with enough producers and enough writers for enough time to have either accidentally sung the entire works of Shakespeare or, hopefully, taken her musical endeavours in a rather different direction.
In fact, as if by magic (or 'Nadgic' - we're talking about Nadine here hahahaha) here's some information from the Popjustice forums.
[I recently] got to hear 3 of Nadines tracks [and] all 3 of the tracks are potential singles and suprisingly VERY good. I was a bit of a GA fan, but up until now had no interest in any of Nadines solo plans.
One track was something about a person being insatiable and it was quite catchy. The 2nd track was possibly called 'Changed / Change Me' and it was my favourite. The 3rd was a William Orbit track and it had elements of 'Untouchable' moments. It was a bit more ballady than the other 2, but it was definetly not a slow love song. It was quite nice but the 2nd track was the one that I could visualise hearing on the radio.
The expected? Very big vocals from Nadine. The unexpected for me? I think I will actually really like solo Nadine. She is pretty damn good.
Yes, single goes to radio in September and album out in November.
So there you go.

Well, imagine no longer, because there IS an artist called Laura Comfort and she has the answer.
'THE COMFORT ZONE'.
It also comes with an astonishing press release. Every sentence is a winner but our favourite is the one that begins paragraph two. We know release dates are exciting but rarely do they warrant an exclamation mark. Make no mistake, this is an exciting release date.
We also like the reference to 'The Album' - as if this is somehow more
than a lower case album and is, instead, 'an Album'. Additionally, it's
always good to start off a press release with details of an artist's
qualifications. In fact why stop there? Why not include a full CV? Does
Laura Comfort have any swimming certificates or an unblemished driving
licence, and does she show a keen interest in sports and socialising?
The music's actually pretty good - most of the songs sound like demos rather than anything near a finished product but there are moments that should appeal to fans of 'Ghosts'-era Siobhan Donaghy (and anyone who isn't a fan of 'Ghosts'-era Siobhan Donaghy should frankly be put up against a wall and shot) and the whole thing is all rather charismatic and likeable. You could even say she's a Laura to herself!!! (Law unto herself.) (That's the next album title.)

The song may get better with every listen (particularly when it's the Cahill version) but fucking hell that dance routine really is atrocious whatever the tempo.

Have we mentioned Bim? Well we know the answer to that - no we haven't - but we have been enjoying their debut album, 'Scatterheart', for the last few weeks and they performed a rough and ready but perfectly charming show in London on Tuesday night.
There's a really charismatic, homemade feel to their tunes but there are also strong hints on 'Scatterheart' that Rebecca and Tim (FOR IT IS THEY) could just be a fortnight in the studio with, for example, James Sanger away from something rather special.
Until they hit their bit Pete 'n' Kate 'Don't Give Up' moment here is their song 'Stay In My Memory' with a fanmade Twilight video. You know you're onto a winner when people are knocking together Twilight videos to your songs.
