I actually kinda liked 'sexyback' and 'my love' okay too - but his new songs aren't up to the very high standards he set with those brilliant singles off his first album...
...and anyway, 'maneater' by nelly furtado was far and away the best single of 2006.
That's where we'll have to agree to disagree, I reckon the singles off the first album sound dated now and aren't a patch on "my love"
Maneater was great, but as chart pop singles go this year, I preferred "Lipstick" by Alesha Dixon. It's like someone took MIAs sound and decided to do a slicker, commercialised (well obviously not THAT commercial judging by relative lack of chart success), less threatening, less chaotic, more coherent version of that sound, and that, believe it or not, is actually a good thing.
