Girls Aloud

[Simone]

Are you people ok? Something New is amazing, one of their best and the perfect comeback single after a 3 year break. The only disappointment is that it didn’t lead a brand new 10-track album

 

[YourLeadSinger]

Ten should’ve been the Hits on Disc 1 and Disc 2 being a new album, 5 Xenomania tracks and 5 non-Xenomania tracks. Boom. Perfect.

Instead we got, “the deluxe edition” featuring 10 more songs we already had (some more than twice) before. Yeay.

 

[Larsen]

Not a fucking day goes by without me hummering/"singing" some bit of Something New.

It typically is Kimba-Nicola's exchange during the first verse.

 

[Musiquelover64]

Something New is aight.... the chorus saves it

 

[MusicalMelody]

Always been a bit bitter that the lyric wasn't "Boy, tonight, it's Girls Aloud", but Something New is a neat little song, I think. I also like Money, but it feels very firmly entrenched as a b-side.

 

[gas]

Something New is a perfect Girls Aloud song. It’s easily Top 5 for me.

SAME. I was making my top 5 at the gas pump this morning and something new was comfortably in it.

 

[Christopher1985]

Top 5? Top 3 at least!

It bookends the sound of Girls Aloud perfectly, from ‘Sound of the Underground’ to ‘Something New’, these girls understood the brief and knew how to deliver!

 

[MusicLover1994]

I love Something New but it probably wouldn't make my top 5. But honestly? The only single they've released that I'm not a massive fan of is Can't Speak French - it's not even a bad song, I just think we should have gotten Girl Overboard instead. Oh and Beautiful 'Cause You Love Me - I always forget that one exists, genuinely haven't played it since 2013 ddd

I don’t think any of them liked or wanted Something New.

I don’t think any of them liked or wanted Something New.

Nadine didn't hold the reunion ransom as the ultimatum for it to be the comeback single to see this.

 

[JMRGBY]

Hasn’t Cheryl gone on to say it’s her least favourite GA song?

 

[TMI]

It’s a shame when popstars have to come and release stuff they are not fond of.

 

[Vasilios]

Miranda saying they all listened to Mariah Carey when the band was formed dd

 

[Shockbox]

Nadine didn't hold the reunion ransom as the ultimatum for it to be the comeback single to see this.

She also told the exact same story but it was about ‘The Promise’.

 

[Jackooh]

I think the beauty of some of their best music is the fusion of real instrumentals with the electronic elements. For me, as much as I love Something New and Every Now & Them they both lacked real instruments. The tracks/music felt a simple and basic. They lacked the infectiousness that SOTU, TS, TP, Sexy, SKO, CPF all had. Although you can’t deny the power and impact of Something New.

 

[Manjobee]

She also told the exact same story but it was about ‘The Promise’.

Which solidifies the fact that Nadine's got ears for hits dd

 

[Dylan]

Hasn’t Cheryl gone on to say it’s her least favourite GA song?

Think she said something along the lines of “it’s not our best”

 

[_Gru_]

I adore Something New.

And I agree the only thing that bothers me about it which I've said before is that the line isnt

Feel the beat deep underground coz tonight we're Girls Aloud

What a huge missed opportunity. It was literally screaming out to be that.

 

[MusicLover1994]

Think she said something along the lines of “it’s not our best”

Me listening to most of Cheryl's solo discography

Or that she was (as Cheryl once put it) ‘full of shit’. I love Nadine for her revisionism.
