Leona Lewis - Better In Time/Footprints In The Sand (BMG)

IT'S the official single for Sport Relief, although quite why is a little mystifying.

Far from being a novelty charity track, Better In Time is a smooth R&B, Mariah Carey-style break up song; there's not even a hint of sporting talk among Leona's warbly lyrics.

Who would have thought someone could pen a sport song even more obscure than Embrace's World At Your Feet?

Double A-side Footprints In The Sand is a much more dreamy affair anchored by a big, shouty chorus that pushes Leona as a vocalist and fits the charity bill better.

Released on March 10
