No don’t panic it’s not a case of déjà vu here. What we’ve all expected has now been confirmed (again) that the next single is Wildfire … No sorry I mean Not Giving Up. I’ll get Frankie explain:
According to the mailer, the video:
It’s gonna have a sleek, futuristic look to it and it was directed by an amazing, really talented director who shot some of our fave vids of 2013.
So all that leaves is a tour announcement. So we when is that coming girls 😉
Our very own Mollie is the cover girl of the March edition of Cosmopolitan.
With London Fashion Week almost upon us who better to grace our March cover than bonafide style muse Mollie King. Signed to Next Models, a FROW regular, with a second drop of her Loved By Mollie collection on it’s way next month (get a sneak peak of it on the video here), Molls is definitely having her moment.
The Saturdays star tells Cosmo: “I studied fashion at A level and it’s something I love learning about. I’ve always had a strong opinion on clothes. I know straight away if I like something or not and how it could work… [Victoria Beckham is] an absolute legend. I saw her at a fashion event and I really wanted to ‘fangirl’ her and get a picture but I was too scared. If I’m on the front row of a show and someone like her walks in, I get so excited and can’t stop staring. I think, ‘Oh my god, I need to remember this feeling because I won’t be doing this forever.’ One day when I’m a granny, I want to remember how cool it is!”
In the full interview in our March issue Mollie talks about her hang-ups and dressing for her shape saying: “I don’t have a Kim Kardashian bum unfortunately, and I don’t have massive boobs either. You have to work with the bits you’re most proud of, so if I’m going out I always think, ‘Right, Molls, your legs are better than your cleavage, so go work those.’ I’m not that curvy, so I like to wear things that give me more shape than I’ve got. Everyone has their body hang-ups; I think, ‘Oh, I could tone that,’ or, ‘I wish I could change that.’ But as much as you can tone bits or add bits, you’re born with your body.”
Currently loved up with American record producer Jordan Omley, Mollie reflects on past relationships and even has it nailed when it comes to being friends with an ex like the model one David Gandy. “It’s really hard when it’s fresh; you can’t go from being in love to friends overnight. I’ve always had to take time apart after a break-up. When they’re with somebody new and you’re single that really hurts, but it’s easier when you move on. Recently there were some pictures of me and David sat next to one another at the same tennis match and the pictures could not have been more unfortunate. It looked like we hated each other, but we do actually get on.”
Now she’s totally loved-up and doing the long-distance thang with Jordan she’s happier than ever. “It sounds glamorous and showbiz, but it can be tough at times because you want to come home to one another and snuggle on the couch. He’s different from guys I’ve been out with before. I’m really happy; he’s definitely ticking all the boxes. He looks after me… I can be quite high-maintenance as a girlfriend. But I’ve learnt to be more laid-back in relationships.”
The Spring / Summer 14 Loved By Mollie edit will be available from March in selected Oasis stores and from www.oasis-stores.com The Saturdays new single Not Giving Up is out in March.
The March 2014 issue of Cosmopolitan is on sale 30th January.
In next months Cosmopolitan Magazine there is a feature with our very own Mollie. The magazine hits the shelves next week (I believe). But the main talking point is at the end of the article it says:
‘The Saturdays new single Not Giving Up is out in March.’
I’ll stick my head out and say the mailer tomorrow will confirm this, the girls has the fitting for the video yesterday, it is scheduled to be shot next week.
Update:
Ok .. so the mailer said nothing. The flip hints the next single is ‘Leave A Light On’ … but Cosmo have PRINTED at the next single is ‘Not Giving Up’ surely they’ve not told a magazine (and therefore a bit of promo) one thing and doing something totally else … but then again this is The Saturdays. We will know more next week.
Maybe that rumoured March date wasn’t far off.
The main story is that this evening it was confirmed that the girls had the fitting for the shoot for their next single, it was later confirmed that the video is being shot next week – so we should know sooner rather than later what is actually being released. Most people are expecting ‘Not Giving Up’ to be the next single lifted from Living For The Weekend, mainly due to it (probably) being one of the stronger songs on the album, plus its been ‘album only’ for an age on iTunes to stop people potentially buying it before it’s actual release.
Obviously all this could mean nothing and something else is being released, but we shall know more in the coming week on what is actually happening.
Happy New Year TeamSats! It’s now 2014, and well it’s pretty much the same as 2013 so far?
I’m sure many of you have set resolutions, about eating less, or getting healthy, or a combination of them both. Or it might be something a lot less serious and fun! Either way I hope you’ve not broken it already, it’s only day 6 after all!
I know the big talking points right now are about the hints from the mailer, which state both ‘new single’ and ‘2014 tour’ – which is a lot to take in.
Obviously ‘Not Giving Up’ has been ‘album only’ on iTunes for a while now, which to a lot of people is just screaming out – next single – and as I touched on my previous post the song is appearing on advance single release dates, set for Early March right now. So we will wait and see.
The next debate is obviously about any tour. In the greatest respect to our favourite group, they aren’t going to pull a Beyoncé and announce a tour, and then go on tour 3 months later. Today new 2014 tours have been announced, and they are for dates in October. I’ve been saying a while I foresee an Arena Tour for the girls, but not until Autumn/Winter 2014. I’ll be glad to be proven wrong, but it’s looking increasingly more likely this will be the case.
Quick roundup of the New Year’s news. Mollie has been sunning herself in LA, cooking on the BBQ in a bikini and generally making us feel very unfit. Rochelle and family have been enjoying a lovely exotics holiday. Una has spent time in Ireland as we await her appearance on ITV’s Splash! Vanessa and Gary have been spending time in Paris and Frankie, well she’s got a new born to be looking after!
I promise stuff will be happening soon, just anyone who was expecting instant gratification from the rumoured tour dates and single news might be feeling a tad disappointed, just remember good things come to those who wait! Just ask Mollie and her BBQ!
