Oh god . . . I know that I’m not being very politically correct by not endorsing the indigenous product, but ‘Planet Fabulous’ either takes a hell of a long time to grow on you, or my first instincts were correct and it’s just downright boring. I know they’re capable of much better, so at least the next single should be a vast improvement. As for ‘Aeroplanes’, it’s almost a country ’n’ western ballad with all that slide guitar. It’s pleasant to listen to. Like, your grandmother would say. “It’s a lovely little tune” y’know?! Maria Doyle-Kennedy’s soft background harmonies complement the song gorgeously but guys, I think the Beautiful South got there first.
