It's been 3 years since Girls Aloud graced us with the glorious 'Untouchable', a song so exhilarating it should be made in pill form to combat depression. Preceded by songs like 'Sound of the Underground', 'Biology' and the perfect 'Call the Shots', new single 'Something New' falls far from the mark of the pop standards they once upheld.
Considering the UK girl band market has taken a nose dive in recent years, Sugababes became the Sugagiros and Little Mix are only fresh from the Xfactor womb, I expected a lot more from this new Girls Aloud track. I expected fireworks, great lyrics, greater subject matter and some lovely verses. No, I get dodgy rapping by Cheryl and Nicola, and a bog standard pop chorus that sounds like an off cut from Little Mix's rejects tape.
Sorry girls, it's not looking great. Sometimes something old is better.
1/5
To ease the pain and disappointment here's the
video for 'Call the Shots'. Enjoy...
