Pleased to say it's not a cover, not a bad summery pop tune
Couple of new versions of some classics too

She looks great! I'm still trying to love the new track - reggae was an odd direction in my opinion. We need that catchy pop soul Five Star vibe back.
The two new remixes are ooo-kay. A bit too trancey for me. Again they needed to be more feelgood and uplifting. Kind of a wasted opportunity. But again she looks a million dollars!

1st - Rain Or Shine - I quite like this one  (but would knock a couple of minutes off the running time). 2nd - System Addict - do we really need more versions of System Addict?  ''I never can get enough'' - well, I can, missus.  It's not as good as the 2005 remake so a bit pointless when there's plenty other classics to choose from. 3rd - Forever Young - From the very first ''woy oy oi'' I just thought 'Oh dear'.  The voice is fab as ever but this for me is not singleworthy in the slightest - more like a hidden track at the end of an abum.  |

I keep listening to "Forever Young" - I mean it's growing on me slightly - the bridge is good. But the worst bit is definitely the 'woy oy ooohs'. Some fans love it all though.

Forever is pleasant enough though not sure it is that memorable.
The remixes sound a bit dated.

Yep it's grown on me immensely the more I hear it. She's done some great interviews too... BBC Breakfast and some others...

It would be interesting to know what the sale figures are for this.

Very low. It didn't hang around iTunes for long and it didn't do anything on streaming

It's great she's still going at it - and looking so gorgeous to boot! I'm loving all the tv and magazine interviews - just like old times. She's filming the video for her Christmas single as we speak!

Apparently the Christmas single has a Jamaican theme again. I did get used to "Forever Young" after many listens though, so let's see.
Speaking of which, the remixes are great! Really bouncy and no reggae in sight lol...
