Well if you like Umbrella and SOS

Yeah, Rhianna's certainly got the knack...

...and some nifty songwriters no doubt...

The start of Jack Penate's single.

"Cos I miss you... And I lav you"

Good. Then it gets fast, and reminds me how music is today.

No such thing as a guilty pleasure, why be guilty about music that excites you?
