Girls Aloud - Future 2025 Plans

[Mvnl]

I fear it would have leaned very much into the Saturdays On Your Radar sound, which I love as an album but for me has not aged quite as well as pretty much all Girls Aloud's material (bar some album 1 tracks).
Both Metro and Every Now And Then already suffer slightly from being very 2012 to me.

 

[Veeis]

Every Now And Then slander? Not on my watch. The opinions that it sounds edm-dated feels off, as for me both Something New and On The Metro sounds very precisely on-time they were released. Every Now And Then has a great unusual structure, and good vocal division and it absolutely doesn't stand out from the other two (I'm not counting Beautiful from obvious reasons). But naturally, On The Metro would be surefire and superior single because it's much more accessible and has more oomph.

 

[Ooooh]

The 4 new tracks on Ten lacked variety with exception to Beautiful in my opinion.
I would have liked a track along the lines of NGA, CSF, The Promise etc. something less electronic/generic and more real instruments.

Something New
On The Metro
Guitar-esque, camp mid tempo banger
Beautiful Because You Love Me

This would have been perfect.

 

[ColloquialNostalgia]

Something New and On The Metro are both up there with their best songs, the other two I... could do without.

Back in May I played both Something New and On The Metro on the pub jukebox on Canal Street so much, the barmaid was so sick of me fff

 

[Subspace]

On The Metro still holds up very well by my ears, it's not timeless but pretty close; Every Now And Then is a bit more dated (especially the chorus), but it's aged far better than some tracks that came after it.

I think I'm repeating myself but it bears repeating - Sarah's "You give me all that you got" is a discography highlight. The sense of urgency in Every Now and Then, phew!

 

[V3RYP05H]

I concur, one of her best vocal deliveries but it’s sadly cut short by Cheryl finishing the line.

 

[P'NutButter]

'Every Now And Then' was perfect for that time and actually fits with how frosty the reunion was back then. I also love the Darude 'Sandstorm' vibes of the instrumental.

 

[Systemagic]

Every Now and Then was my favourite of the new Ten tracks. The drama, the vocals, that key change.
I agree On The Metro would have worked better as the single to follow up Something New, but Every Now and Then was the ONE.

 

[MsBelladonna]

How many songs were recorded for the greatest hits?

 

[Ooooh]

Ten or the original The Sound Of Girls Aloud?

They had 6 for The Sound Of Girls Aloud.
Including Call The Shots and likely Blackjacks as it came just after but was recorded before. I think Dog Without A Bone was another.

Ten - I don’t think they’ve ever shared how many. Nadine mentioned they had enough material for another album but I think that would be based on the amount of ideas recorded. Not full songs.
There was another track with the On The Metro producers that Nicola worked on.

Don't forget What a Feeling.

 

[Ooooh]

Don't forget What a Feeling.

Technically we have the 6…

Something Kinda Ooooh
Money
Call The Shots
What A Feeling
I Think We’re Alone Now
Black Jacks
Dog Without A Bone.

Assuming that I Think We’re Alone Now was included in that.

 

[V3RYP05H]

“Call The Shots” was also recorded for the Sound of…

 

[JMRGBY]

Imagine a world where Call The Shots was just a bonus track on their Greatest Hits and didn’t get a release. Doesn’t bear thinking about.

 

[VeryPSB]

Every Now And Then is a melodic stomper but the production is a bit muddy to my ears so it doesn’t quite reach its full potential.

 

[bryan89]

Imagine a world where Call The Shots was just a bonus track on their Greatest Hits and didn’t get a release. Doesn’t bear thinking about.

My question is... they had all those great songs and chose Money?

 

[MistakenBiology]

Imagine a world where Call The Shots was just a bonus track on their Greatest Hits and didn’t get a release. Doesn’t bear thinking about.

It’s even worse to think that they basically were going to call it the end after the Sound of so Call The Shots would’ve never gotten heard!

That is awful

 

[DangerousHun]

Sorry but Money is a banger, the girls that get it get it.
