"Umbrella" is still number 1, five weeks after release, and amazingly it still hasn't grown dull. There's nothing like wandering around town going "ella, ella, ella" continuously. I even heard someone doing it in Paris (from where I have just returned).Fabulously the album it's taken from, "Good Girl Gone Bad", is stonking.
And if New Order weren't big enough to sample, prepare yourself for the sweltering disco grind of "Don't Stop The Music". Finely weaving the hypnotising "ma ma say, ma ma sa" bit of Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Starting Somethin" into the melody, by the time it finishes, we dare you not to be racing around the dancefloor arms flailing.
Read my review of it at BBC Music.
