King: ‘The Saturdays will tour next year’

Leave a Comment / Mollie King, The Saturdays / By

The SaturdaysMollie King has revealed that The Saturdays are planning to tour again next year.

The group completed their first ever headline jaunt in 2009 following the release of their debut album but ruled out going on tour this year.

In a Twitter question and answer session with fans to promote their new single ‘Missing You’, King wrote: “Defo touring next year yes! I CANNOT wait to see you all again!!!!! wahooooo! (sic)”

The girlband release their new mini-album Headlines! next week. King admitted that she is still surprised at their success.

“I always hoped and prayed we’d be this successful but i still cant believe it! I’m so so lucky to be here!!!” she said.

King recently told DS that she is excited about performing the new tracks on tour.

“They’re going to be great tracks to perform on tour because they’re all quite ‘big’-sounding,” she said. “It’s like we’ve looked at the last two albums, seen what everyone likes the most and then made similar songs to those.”

‘Missing You’ is currently at number two on the UK iTunes chart.

Digitalspy Review: ”Headlines!”

Leave a Comment / Featured Content, Releases, The Saturdays / By

“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.

The Saturdays Couldn’t Wait To Release New Material

Leave a Comment / The Saturdays / By

The Saturdays decided to release a mini-album instead of a full-length third record because they couldn’t wait for fans to hear their new songs.

As a follow-up to last year’s Wordshaker record, the Up singers are releasing their eight track Headlines CD next month – featuring some new songs that were recorded originally for their official third album, due in 2011.

“As soon as we heard ‘Missing You’ it just felt like a record that should be released now,” Mollie King revealed. “To us it’s the perfect summer song.”

The Saturdays release new single Missing You on August 9, with Headlines following a week later on August 16.

The group recently announced that they are shooting a reality TV series called Just Can’t Get Enough, set to broadcast in the Autumn on ITV2.
