If you want to hear the best cover in the world ever of Robbie Williams hit 'Angels', this is the MySpace page for you. Well, kind of, because there's only a sample, not the full track. You might not think I'm being serious. You might think I'm being ironic. You might think this because Patrizio Buanne is the kind of pretty, cheesy, in this case Italian, singer beloved of 'mothers' the world over. But honestly, I am not a big fan of 'Angels'. In fact, it sends me into a rage every time I hear the bloody song. I am even more enraged every time it comes top (or very nearly) of some stupid best-song-in-the-world poll. But this version, 'Un Angelo', I can bear. Maybe it's because it's sung in a different language, but I like to think it's all to do with Patrizio. Okay, maybe I'm not being that serious about this twenty eight year old singer whose aim is to "make romance cool again - the same way that Jamie Oliver has made cooking cool", because no, it's not really my style of music. But if your mother, or a local elevator, has a birthday coming up, his album 'Forever Begins Tonight', out 5 Mar, might just be the ticket.
