Five years ago, Scissor Sisters announced an indefinite hiatus. Now, I think they re-incarnated in Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott 😉 . I mean: He Wants To is a great track that could have been a great Scissor Sisters track. But it isn’t.

Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott used to be the heart of The Beautiful South, a British pop group that released 10 really lovely, witty and funny albums between 1988 and 2007. The band announced their split was due to ‘musical similarities’.

Six years later, Heaton reunited with Abbott. Last summer, they released their third album Crooked Calypso, off which He Wants To is the brilliant new single.
