»» LEIGH NASH - 'NEED TO BE NEXT TO YOU' (EAST WEST)
Released on: Mon 26 Feb 2001

The voice of Christian jangle popsters Sixpence None The Richer -you remember huge hit 'Kiss Me' and their ill-advised cover of The La's ode to heroin 'There She Goes'- goes solo with this ballad from the soundtrack to the romantic comedy Bounce, starring Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow. And quite frankly it's awful. But that doesn't seem to matter when you're featured on a Hollywood movie. Look at Leann Rimes on Coyote Ugly, or Aerosmith on Armageddon. Power balladry sells by the bucket load. And I'm a geddin out of here before I have to listen to anymore.
