Rated Stooshe - Love Me

There's a big gap gaping in the soil of British girl groups. Girls Aloud have been on 'holiday' for what seems like a decade, which unfortunately hasn't reduced Cheryl Cole's presence even the littlest bit! The Saturdays are pretty much never going to get their first number one single, after what, 3 years of releases? Little Mix... I say nothing.

So how does the music industry fill this gap? With Stooshe. "Stooshe!?" I hear you splutter. Yes, I didn't make a spelling mistake, S-t-o-o-s-h-e. Awful name, things can only get better with the music, right? No, very wrong. Their debut single, 'Love Me' has a retro pop/soul vibe, but lacks any real punch. Considering how much front the girls put on show in the video I expected a pretty climactic ending. Things aren't helped by the annoying speaking parts and frequent giggles when something 'cheeky' is uttered.

There seems to be a buzz surrounding this group, but quite frankly they are obnoxious, irritating and their debut single, although catchy, is poor at best. A random appearance by Travie nobody cares about him McCoy and an infuriating 'attitude attitude attitude' music video, make this whole affair even more, well, infuriating.
