Vanessa: “Our new music is much sexier”

1 Comment / Vanessa White /

It’s been a long time since we heard any music from the Saturday’s girls but with their new album fast approaching we caught up with the lovely Vanessa at the New Look Style the Nation with T4 launch to have a chat about it.

Vanessa who was looking super cute in a NL jumpsuit AND had a snazzy new haircut (jel? Us?) told us that their new album’s going to have a sexier vibe.

“Our new album’s going to be a lot sexier than our old one, it’s definitely a different sound, we’re really excited about it,” said Vanessa, “We’ve all grown up a bit now and that shows. It’s also a lot more R‘n’B than anything we’ve done before, it’s a very cool. Every time I think about the new single Notorious it makes me want to dance.”

EEK. Exciting!

Vanessa who spent the evening catching up with friends and dancing showing of her toned legs and admitted that she’s a bit like us when it comes to her exercise habits, “Sometimes I’ll get really into exercise and go to the gym all the time but then other times I’ll have a week off.”

The Saturdays hit Clapham Common

2 Comments / The Saturdays /

@TheSaturdays are set to play Clapham Common (how erm glam?) with Taio Cruz and Chipmunk in September …

Just when you thought all the festivals had been announced, here comes another cheeky day festival in September – huzzah! The Saturdays, Chipmunk and Taio Cruz will grace the stage of Clapham Common on September 10th – to soften the blow of going back to school.

The festival’s in support of the 2012 London Paralympic Games and marks just under a year to go until they begin.The Common will even have a sports arena where paralympic sports will be demonstrated, which we think’s pretty awesome.

Frankie Sandford thinks it’s a bangtidy idea too;

“We’re all really chuffed to be performing at Sainsburys Super Saturday.

“In the run up to London 2012, this gig will shine a spotlight on the Paralympic Games which we’re all massive supporters of.”

Tickets go on sale on 20th May, costing £50.50 (including fees) for adults

Popjustice: Notorious “big”

1 Comment / The Saturdays /

PopJustice have posted their own verdict on Notorious, including a little more of the song, which you can read (in full) and listen to the clip from their site

Is ‘Notorious’ amazing?
Yes.

How amazing is it?
Quite amazing. It’s a bit Black Eyed Peas-esque, feels a tiny bit like Kelis and Rihanna, and has a strong, propulsive energy that builds throughout the tune.

What’s the structure like?
The fact that the beat keeps dropping in and out makes it difficult to get your head around what’s the chorus and what isn’t but the track’s not as all over the place as it first seems. Here’s what happens:

» Vocal intro – “I’m a outlaw, I’m the big boss, I’m a gangster on the dancefloor” twice with blippy ping pong noises.

» Instrumental intro – beat kicks in, which evolve into…

» Verse 1 – assorted banging on about “you know I like it in the streetlights”, “I l-l-love this track” etc. Quite bold and bolshy-sounding.

» Breakdown/pre-chorus/epic bit/actually-it-might-be-the-chorus – track drops out, there’s a big “oahaahahaaaaah” bit (this is the clip above), followed by a fiesty “closer, baby look in my eyes do you recognise MAY?”, followed by “I’ve been a bad girl, I’m a bad girl, I’m notorious”. Into…

» Post-chorus/actually-this-might-be-the-chorus – the track starts to build up again amid various epic sounding noises in the background, more “oahaahahaaaaah”  action and a full-on chant of “I’m a outlaw, I’m the big boss, I’m a gangster on the dancefloor”.

» Verse 2 – track slams back in, bits of singing about “everybody knows my name here, I’m the head of game here, pleasure and pain yeah, cos my resume says that I’m a bad girl”. NB: No members of The Saturdays actually

» Breakdown/pre-chorus/epic bit – this time the beat hasn’t dropped out and it’s all quite danceable.

» Post-chorus – beat does drop out this time, and post-chorus gives way to…

» Middle eight bit – “so baby tell me can you get it from my energy”. The answer to this is ‘not really love we don’t know what that actually means’. Then the whole thing drops out, leading to…

» Into the home straight – beat thunders back in, song explodes with reappearance of the “I’m an outlaw I’m the big boss” bit, music starts to drop out leading to the “closer, baby look in my eyes, do you recognise me?” portion.

» Song ends slightly more abruptly than you expect.

» ‘Fin’.

Notorious Delayed? JLS seem to think its number one material …

1 Comment / The Saturdays /

It seems @TheSaturdays lead single might be going delayed a few weeks until June. Which – to us at least – isn’t too surprising. Most videos/songs debut 4-6 weeks ahead of their release to generate a buzz, there has been a recent trend in the UK for singles to be released as they premiere on radio, such as the recent releases from Britney Spears, Lady GaGa and Beyonce – of which all 3 singles have hardly done that well (to date) so maybe a delay is actually better for the group in this case. Either way JLS  seem to feel its potentially a number one …
According to Marvin from JLS The Saturdays are set to score the first ever No.1 single this summer

The girls are getting ready to comeback with new material and Rochelle‘s boyfriend Marvin has already heard their new single, Notorious.

“Me and JB went down to the shoot in LA a couple of weeks ago.” said Humes in an interview “The new single is wicked…I think this could possibly be the girls first No 1.

“The girls are releasing before us so we’re not going to have any boyfriend/girlfriend battles in the chart – no way”

All we know at this stage is that the track contains the lyrics “I’m an outlaw/ I’m the big boss/ I’m a gangster/ on the dance floor,” it reads. The single is written by Ina Wroldsen, who has previously worked with the group on ‘If This Is Love’ and ‘Up’,
