EMMA BUNTON: A Girl Like You (Virgin) -- Oh to find a girl like her -- intelligent, witty, sensible and down-to-earth. And Baby Spice's many charms are reflected in this album which contains classy songs which will stand the test of time. We may have already heard solos from Posh, Scary and Sporty Spice but it arguable that in this album, the best has been saved to last. (9/10) DH

SNOOP DOGG: Tha Last Meal (Doggy Style/ No Limits Records) -- Still vertical after a decade-long career which has seen him beat a murder charge and the tide of fashion, Tha Last Meal finds Snoop Dogg in typical rude health. Though lyrically still stuck in a slightly-dated gangster groove -- girls, guns and grass feature prominently -- slick production, courtesy of comeback king Dr Dre and R'n'B beat merchant Timbaland, keep Tha Last Meal focused and contemporary. Who said you can't teach an old Dogg new tricks? (8/10) SM Singles ROBBIE WILLIAMS: Let Love Be Your Energy (EMI) -- The fourth single from Robbie's third multi-platinum album is, to be honest, nothing special. It bounces along and, if sung by someone else would be very good. But we all know Robbie can do much, much better. (6/10) DH

S CLUB 7: Don't Stop Moving (Polydor) -- The S Club bandwagon shows no signs of slowing down, despite their little error with the cannabis last week. This new single is their danciest effort yet and is bound to become one of those tracks which will be played again, again and again over the summer. (7/10) DH

MATTHEW JAY: Draw (Food) -- Heralding from South Wales Matthew Jay draws comparisons with Elliott Smith and Nick Drake. His acoustic style is easy going and at

times almost dynamic but coming from a background of folk music never really ignites. (6/10) CL
