Sixpence None The Richer’s Leigh Nash follows up her band’s gooey soundtrack hit “Kiss Me” (from She’s All That) with another secret recipe for pure sap in “Next To You.” This sonic concoction of empty music calories comes from the Affleck/Paltrow outing Bounce’s, and serves as a sickly sentimental postscript to the failed romance of chisel-cheeked movie stars Ben & Gwyneth. Surely a hit on the fantasy-laden teen mag circuit – not to mention the pimply-faced high school dancefloors of adolescent America – this acoustic guitar- and keyboard-driven ballad runs the predictable movie-themed gamut of wholly generic imagery that populates the daydreams of 13-year-old girls. One-trick pony Nash is close to sugar shock as she weakly warbles such juvenile lyrics as, “I need to know I can see your eyes each morning/Look into your eyes each night…for the rest of my life/Here with you, near with you/Oh I…I need to be next to you.” Unfortunately, the artist’s misguided attempts at a heartfelt “teardrop in the voice” come off sounding more like Stevie Nicks on helium than genuine emotion. Pay attention, slow dancers: Nash needs to have your heart next to hers, to share every breath with you, and to feel you in her arms, “babe.” Literally. Pancakes have less syrup than this one.
