The trend for all things Latin a la Ricky Martin continues unabated with Geri's latest offering and considering her mum's Spanish, she's more than qualified for her slice of the Iberian pie.

With it's echoes of Madonna's 'La Isla Bonita', 'Mi Chico Latino' is a gentle, rolling ballad with flamenco guitars and Geri singing in Spanish towards the end.

It's a perfect summer song and should prove to some of her detractors - mentioning no names - that she can sing and does have musical talent.

It's miles better than her last single, 'Look At Me', and deserves a top five placement. Go chica!
