Higher – the original mix – officially premieres tomorrow evening on ITV2 at 10.50pm! Set the video recorders, and well come back here to view it afterwards too! To wet your appetite here’s a sneak preview:
We’re lucky, right after airing it on CapitalFM they uploaded the audio to their YouTube account, and the video is coming soon. I’d imagine that’s why we should be tuning in to The Saturdays: 24/7 RIGHT NOW on ITV2!!
Update: No premiere for the ‘Higher’ video unfortunately, but lots of behind the scenes footage and more on the final episode of The Saturdays 24/7. Keep coming back because it’s heading your way!
I’ve found many pics from last month and this month that Matt hopefully soon will upload. For now I got the cover of Higher for you! I’m 99% sure this is the official cover, if not, you’ll hear it soon!
I can’t link the gallery to this picture, so if you wanna see the full size version. Please click here
Universal’s Geffen label is looking to score its second UK number one single within the space of three weeks after The Saturdays opened up a narrow lead on midweek sales.
The girl group’s Fascination/Geffen-issued single Missing You is around 4,000 sales ahead of Flo Rida featuring David Guetta’s Club Can’t Handle Me at this early point in the week, according to OCC Data. The Saturdays’ current highest chart performance is number two, achieved in 2009 by both Just Can’t Get Enough and Forever Is Over.
“I’m doing nothing / ‘Cause then at least I’m doing nothing wrong.” A lyric which evidently doesn’t describe The Saturdays’ work ethic. Two albums, six top ten singles, their own TV show, book, jewellery line… it’s all go for Una and co. Headlines! arrives just ten months after the group’s second album, Wordshaker, failed to do the business sales-wise, despite peaking at a very respectable number nine on the charts. Abandoning their sophomore set, the ladies have instead opted to release this “mini-album” featuring tracks that they couldn’t bear to hang onto for their next full-length long-player. Was it worth the effort? Hell yes!
Sitting next to Wordshaker singles ‘Ego’ and ‘Forever Is Over’ is the eight-track set’s own trailer track, ‘Missing You’. It’s hard to knock a ballad with a dance routine and, after a few spins, its chorus implants itself in your brain no matter how much you claim to dislike it at first. However, as enjoyable as ‘Missing You’ is, after hearing several of the other newbies here it’s tough not to wonder, ‘Just who chooses this group’s lead singles?’
So, what should have launched Headlines!? Well, that would be the group’s recently confirmed next single. Move over ‘Up’, shift along ‘Ego’, for there’s a new Sats classic in town. The synth-laden ‘Higher’ has become an instant fan fave following recent live performances and, thanks to its infectious chorus and super-sassy lyrics, it’s not hard to see why. Una Healy’s middle 8 isn’t quite as thrilling on record as it is on stage, but don’t let the ill-advised use of Auto-Tune spoil this moment of close-to pop perfection.
Also nestling among the new tracks is ‘Died In Your Eyes’, originally recorded by US pop upstart Kristinia DeBarge. Though few are likely to realise that it’s a cover – poor Kristinia! – it’s a shame that one of Headlines!‘ five new songs turns out to be second-hand. That said, it’s still a decent Tedderish pop ballad with lyrics that prove The Saturdays can “do” vulnerable when they want to.
