Various Artists One Love, One Rhythm (Sony Music Entertainment) Three stars
When it was released, the tournament's official song We Are One (Ole Ola) by Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull and Claudia Leitte triggered Twitter protests instead of excitement. It's not that it's totally awful – it just fails in what it's meant to do. The chorus is lazy and, most glaringly, the tune has a whiff of unwanted melancholy. It's more suitable as the tournament's closing anthem as opposed to welcoming it. Good thing it's the official World Cup compilation album's first track as there is much better material on offer. Dar Um Jeito (We Will Find a Way) featuring Santana, Wyclef Jean, Avicii and Alexandre Pires immediately grabs you with its monstrous beats, EDM synths and sky-high chorus. Ricky Martin's sun-kissed Vida triggers images of football-playing youth on Rio's iconic beaches, while Leppo is a lovely bossa nova tune by the Brazilian artist Psirico. The solid material continues with the Aloe Blacc-led The World Is Ours and Shakira's latest hit, La La La (Brasil 2014), which melds contemporary pop with samba rhythms. Skip the first track and enjoy the rest.

From Europe to the Middle East, economic success brings wealth - and lifestyle diseases
A rise in obesity figures and the need for more public spending is a familiar trend in the developing world as western lifestyles are adopted.
One in five deaths around the world is now caused by bad diet, with obesity the fastest growing global risk. A high body mass index is also the top cause of metabolic diseases relating to death and disability in Kuwait, Qatar and Oman – and second on the list in Bahrain.
In Britain, heart disease, lung cancer and Alzheimer’s remain among the leading causes of death, and people there are spending more time suffering from health problems.
The UK is expected to spend $421.4 billion on healthcare by 2040, up from $239.3 billion in 2014.
And development assistance for health is talking about the financial aid given to governments to support social, environmental development of developing countries.
