“Low” is the number 1 single by the band Cracker.

Listening to Circus by Britney Spears, I must say that she has definitely improved on her style of singing. Though not that much of an improvement, her songs are mostly trance-like and kind of like an 80’s era or disco kind. You can’t quite put the money on …

I really enjoy the simplicity of this track. The gentle opening and how gradually it starts to develop into what is just a great sounding track.
Again, it’s Gary Barlow behind it, the writer and the driving force behind Take That.
As a performance it does build gradually, it doesn’t explode …
