Oooh look, The Bangles have suddenly gone all serious and most effective it is too. "Following" is a sparse folk-like ballad and Michael Steele talks rather than sings the words, accompanied only by an acoustic guitar and some floaty strings. It wafts along very gracefully apart from the spoken parts which get a bit hoity toity here and there, and should see them repeating their recent huge successes all over again. (

Following Suzanne Vega, girlies? All dour talkovers and serious voices cracking with 'emotion'. Very sixth form angst, girls, and I would've thought that description was pushing the truth a bit. Pass the sick bag. (
