Write About Love is the long awaited new album by Belle and Sebastian, comprised of 11 love songs to fall in love to and fall in love with; devoted to, enchanted by and imbued with the spirit of sweet, soulful pop music.

BELLE & SEBASTIAN Funny Little Frog (2006 UK 5-track CD/DVD single set - taken from the album The Life Pursuit and includes exclusive recordings Meat & Potatos and I Took A Long Hard Look plus Video for Funny Little Frog and Lazy Line Painter Jane - Live Performance Footage from the Glasgow Botanical Gardens)
The first single release from the new The Life Pursuit record is a radio friendly feast, with the hallmarks of B&S and Stuart in great voice. Like many I thought this was a strange choice for the first release, but after three listens you have the melody whirling round in your head, and you realise how good it sounds on the radio. The B side of Meat & Potatoes has fantastic lyrics about sadomasochism which are laced with dark, smouldering humour; This song would not be written by any other group, which is why is seems so unique and fresh.
I could eat these songs for breakfast.....try them yourself !

3.0 out of 5 starsbuy the two b-sides off iTunes for much less14 Feb 2006

"Funny Little Frog" is a fantastic song (in my opinion), and the so-called hardcore Belle & Sebsatian fans will need the single to round out their collection, but everyone else should stay away. The price as of now is way too high for the two rather mediocre b-sides, and you can buy them for a dollar apiece on iTunes anyway.
The musically lacking "Meat and Potatoes" has fantastic lyrics with many witty sexual puns and whatnot. "I Took a Long Hard Look" is a by-the-numbers Stevie tune, but one can imagine it benefiting from being placed somewhere on "The Life Pursuit," had Stuart stuck to his original idea of having a double album.
