IF You’re watching your daily intake of sugar, then be prepared for this.

For so sickly sweet is this album you are likely to exceed your weekly allowance by the first morning of day one.

Not strictly my taste in music, I can, however, understand why this album will sell by the bucketload.

It’s littered with catchy choruses and tunes that get stuck in your head, whether you want them to or not.

Opening song, This Ain’t A Love Song, has proved a mammoth hit single and is symbolic of the rest of the fare on the album.

Lyrics are signposted way in advance, so much so that on first hearing I was able to guess the line to follow with alarming regularity.
