...boyfriend, a guy who works at an indie-film studio. She got a phat 4x4 to cruise around in. Her book will be out soon. At a Manhattan party in December, according to gossip queen Liz Smith, she even sang along with the hottest track in underground clubland, a new remix of the '80s hit Tainted Love. It's a perfect anthem for her, now that she's over Clinton, focusing less on that awful Linda Tripp and getting rock-star-worthy hounding from reporters...
...artist is producing better, more authentic music that will never be widely heard. In this compilation, rocker David Byrne plays it cool, stands back and simply presents the original work of some of his favorite Brazilian artists. The album draws on samba as well as psychedelic rock and '90s clubland rhythms. It's all a lot of fun, though one wishes it could, at times, be a little less lighthearted.

Goldie wasn't the only influence, of course, but the sea change has been profound: if you listen to Yield, the grandfatherly...
...newcomers, King has had the most mainstream success. Her clubland cover of I Say a Little Prayer was featured on the sound track to the Julia Roberts film My Best Friend's Wedding and made its way into the Top 40 on the pop charts. The song also appears on King's new album, an effusive collection of upbeat, danceable reggae. The best song here, the aggressively catchy L-L-Lies, works because the accusatory tone of the lyrics allows King to show some verve and edge. Some of the other songs on the album are a bit too sugary...
