Important news re what should have been but isn't Whitney Houston's comeback single

  • July 13, 2009
  • Popjustice

We know this is getting a bit ahead of ourselves because 'My Man' hasn't even been released yet but 'Punching Out', the title track of Jade Ewen's album (and maybe a future single?) is totally fantastic.

It's a sort of thun­der­ing mid-tempoish R&B ballad thing with a chorus of "I will not be a waitress, clean up your own mess, you're short on
progress, I ain't your mother and I'm not, not gonna I've made up my
mind, not not gonna spend any more time with you."

We had the song on repeat for about an hour and a half yesterday (it was certainly an exciting weekend) and again for the majority of our trip to the office this morning. We may or may not listen to it quite a lot later today — that is all 'TBC'.

"I will not be a waitress."

Phenomenal.
