Alicia Keys: How Come You Don't Call Me (Out Monday)
THERE is no doubting Alicia Keys' talent.
Almost a year since she shot to the top of the charts with Fallin', she is back with another good 'un
How Come You Don't Call Me starts with a New Orleans soul feel to it before picking up a hip-hop beat. It's an excellent single.
Our Alicia has certainly found the right key.

Omero Mumba: 'Lil Big Man (Out Monday)
YOU guessed it -- this is Samantha's little brother. But, famous sibling or not, this little fella (he's only 11) deserves to be here in his own right.
It's a catchy rap about a little big man from Dublin who's heading for the top.
Okay, maybe not all the way to the top, but a good effort.

M2M: The Big Room
(Out Monday)
FRESH from appearing in Dawson's Creek, these two teenagers have a lot going for them.
It kicks things off with the catchy Everything before progressing to an Alanis Morisette-style Jennifer, the perfect girl who doesn't know you exist. Hey ho.
Payphone offers Wilson Phillips harmonies, while What Do You Do About Me is another emotional tug-of-war.
Like the Wonderbra, it's uplifting.

Various Artists: Scooby-Doo (Out Monday)
THIS album opens with Shaggy singing the theme tune as only he can.
Imagine it, Mr Lover Man singing "Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you?" Great.
The all-star line-up includes Kylie Minogue, Uncle Kracker featuring Busta Rhymes, Allstars and the Baha Men, with a Bad Babysitter-type offering.
Unusual, interesting and entertaining.
