Elbow Beach

Since her departure from Eternal a few years ago, Louise Nurding has been busy. She has released two mega selling solo albums, been voted sexiest woman in Britain, posed for more lads' magazine covers than Denise Van Outen, and married a famous footballer.

What she does not seem to have time for however, is to learn how to inject any form of substance into her music.

Elbow Beach is a collection of 12 bland, vacuous and frequently ridiculous songs. The album is stuck in some kind of mid-tempo lull, and there is nothing here that even remotely sticks out.

The current single ' 2 Faced' is by far the strongest track, the rest is formulated chart pop without the tunes. It should be huge.
