Mini Viva: 'I Wish'

After hearing 'Left My Heart In Tokyo', the brilliant debut single from Mini Viva, lots of pop fans felt the Xenomania-signed, developed and produced duo might fill the Girls Aloud-shaped hole in HMV this Autumn. Sadly, in recognition of the fact that the Christmas release slates are crowded enough already and the only X Factor appearance they're likely to bag is a spot between Gordon Smart and Sinitta over on the ITV2 show, it's been pushed back until next year.

Consolation, however, comes in the form of their follow-up single. 'I Wish' is a misty-eyed disco-pop nugget, full of regret and longing, whose irresistible chorus has just the right hint of the Vengaboys to it. Britt and Frankee, meanwhile, display just as much lively vocal charm as they did first time out. Of course, this is only likely to make you crave that Long-Player more, but as your mum used to say when you asked for a dollop of Angel Delight before you finished your fishfingers and chips, all good things...
