OneRepublic: 'All The Right Moves'
If someone - say Paul Gambaccini - asked you to list the ingredients that go into a Ryan Tedder hit, what would you scribble down? Our brainstorm would go something like this: "Whopping great chorus", "lots of bombast", "modish beats", "generous helping of melodrama", "bit of '80s soft rock chucked in for good measure?"

All of which are present and correct on the new OneRepublic single - though the main event, of course, is a hook big enough for a giant to hang his jacket on. Tedder's never going to be as distinctive a singer as his superstar clients, and the rest of OneRep remain pretty anonymous, but there's an intriguing hint of sulkiness here that keeps you interested after a few spins. Says Teds himself: "This song's aimed at all the cool-ass bands that we'll never be."
