New artist alert: Cheryl Cole

We're going to stick our necks out here and say that 'Fight For This Love' has a reasonable chance of denting the UK Top 40 when it's released on 18 October. It's by a young lady called Cheryl Cole, who some of you might know as one fifth of a pretty obscure band called Girls Aloud. In Cheryl's spare time she enjoys crying diamonds on TV, dressing like Malibu Barbie, "being the Queen of our hearts" and putting up with her interminably dull husband.

This song is about struggling through a relationship even though it's possibly not worth the hassle:



Apparently a demo version by a young man called Andre Merritt is also 'doing the rounds'. We think it sounds a bit like Kelis' 'Lil Star', and is somewhat of a grower. Good luck Cheryl, fingers crossed you make it.
