Lookee here! It’s the one out of Pussycat Dolls whose main distinguishing feature was the ability to put her leg behind her ear.

She’s since put those talents to good use by becoming a judge on Got To Dance, and encouraging young ’uns to reach for their dreams. How nice. In between all that, she’s found the time to put out an album - teaming up with a member of Jupiter Rising to become Her Majesty & The Wolves It’s been mentioned before, but this is basically Kimberley’s Dannii to Nicole Scherzinger’s Kylie. And it’s none the worse for it.

With influences ranging from Ladyhawke to Florence And The Machine, Her Majesty... is a solid dance-pop effort, which hearkens back to Dannii’s prime Put the Needle On It days. Tracks like Walking On the Sun and Head in the Clouds are excellent- laid back early 90s dance that owes more to Phats and Small than current chart staple David Guetta, and Wyatt’s vocals are distinctive enough to merit repeat listenings. Unfortunatly there’s an awful lot of filler. At 16 tracks, and fifty minutes long, there’s not enough content to carry the album the whole way through. It’s three singles plus bumf.
