KEYSHIA COLE FEAT. EVE NEVER (INTERSCOPE)

"There's a lot of heat on this track out there at the moment. It's based around a sample from the Luther Vandross classic Never Too Much; Keyshia has got a strong voice and can really hold her own. Eve comes in great with her rap and with a strong hook the overall effect is hot. It's playing well in the dubs and the promos are selling up and down the country, so it should break when it has a full commercial release."

Joe Coates, Track Records, York

THE CRIMEA ALBUM TITLE TBC (UNSIGNED)

"This band includes members of the Crocketts and have released three previous singles on different independent labels, Boobytrap, Double Dragon and Shinybeast. All of the singles have sold really well, and continue to do so which is really unusual. In fact, we still stock Lottery Winners On Acid that came out more than year ago. Given the quality of these records, you just know that the album will be marvellous and everyone here is very excited about it. I don't think they've been signed yet, which is unbelievable as they're Peel regulars and have a strong profile. Someone should snap them up fast."

Chris Salmon, music editor, Time Out
