Gabriella Cilmi: 'Save The Lies'

Gabriella Cilmi's debut single, 'Sweet About Me', positioned her among the glut of Winehouse clones vying for our attention in 2008. After wriggling its way up the charts with a lot of help from a deodorant ad, it looked likely to be a one-off smash for the 16-year-old Aussie. But, against the odds, her follow-up single is just as appealing.

A complete U-turn from her subdued debut, this disco-rock stomper has producer Brian Higgins's trademark electro style running right through its core. With plenty of feisty lyrics and a few silly ones ("I'm gonna fly my bike, ride my kite"), not to mention a nifty chorus, 'Save The Lies' recalls the better moments from Girls Aloud and Kylie's recent albums. She may only be a whippersnapper, but Cilmi is already displaying the chameleon-like quality that every popstar needs.
