Review for ''Wordshaker''

OK, I’m going to break this to you gently… there are no tracks on Wordshaker that are as good as Up. But it’s not all bad news. Because there are about 10 tracks on Wordshaker that are literally very nearly almost as good as Up whilst sounding nothing like it. And that’s about 10 more than were on Chasing Lights. Huzzah.
We’ve been wanting The Saturdays to be amazing for about as long as we knew they existed. Personality-wise, they might not be setting us on fire yet but Wordshaker (despite sounding like a prototype name for the game Boggle) is a very fine sophomore album indeed. Why Forever Is Over, a stab at pop-rock so soft it’s practically a cuddly toy, was chosen as the lead single when it’s probably the weakest track remains a mystery – so if you actually quite like Forever Is Over, imagine how happy you’ll be to discover that every one of the eleven other tracks is substantially better than it. Huzzah again.
The overall sound of the album might not have shifted seismically from Chasing Lights – basically the many many ballads have gone up a gear to become midtempo instead – but thankfully the overdose on schmaltz is long gone and Wordshaker’s big ballad moment, Here Standing, is properly gorgeous. In our review of Chasing Lights, we implored the girls to unleash their fierce side more often and on the likes of Ego, One Shot and Open Up, boy do they deliver – pop choons with the perfect sprinkling of rocky rhythms and electro twiddles on top, lyrics that require voices set to ‘belt’ rather than ‘simper’ and Vanessa’s powerhouse vocals to see them soaring through.
Elsewhere Wordshaker is revealed not as an educational game but a liar who twists words and the resulting song is the album’s feisty fantastic highlight whilst Lose Control, an explosion of ‘oooo-ooooohs’, “talky bits” and electro-esque squelching, is my personal favourite. When the saccharine finally rears its head on the closer 2am (alas, not a prequel to Busted’s still epic 3am), it’s actually welcome; simply lovely, it’s Wordshaker’s Why Me, Why Now and you can’t help falling in love with it. Well, I couldn’t anyway.
Some tracks (Denial, Not Good Enough) sound a little generic in that they seem instantly familiar – but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, just a sign that they have been crafted well enough to get stuck in your head almost immediately. As the Sugababes implode, this is the kind of album we could imagine a diluted Sugababes v2.0 recording, except that comparison really does Wordshaker no justice whatsoever. Come the second album, The Saturdays have found their own sound and guess what? It’s great. Heaven knows how good album three might be. What I do know is that Wordshaker is probably the pop album of the year.

BTW this is a matter almost as important as how good the album is. Frankie has short hair again. YES!

EXCLUSIVE: The Saturdays: We love Girls Aloud

Posted by CelebGossFirst | Posted in Gossip, Music | Posted on 20-09-2009

The Saturdays have had a tough week. In the middle of promotion for their new single “Forever Is Over” the girls were reported to have “got nasty” and slagged off Girls Aloud and the Sugababes.
So because we are great people here at The Goss, we decided to ask the girls what they really think of their competition as well as what to expect from their new album.
Here is what the girls had to say before their performance at Juice FM’s Big Night out in Liverpool, UK.
On being better than Girls Aloud:
Rochelle: We didn’t say that, all these people were like ‘Girlbands are quieting down so are you guys going to step up and take over?’ We were like ‘yeah,’ that is all we said we’d like to step up and then people say we are declaring war on other bands.
Frankie: We say yeah ofcourse were ready then we get in trouble for it.”
Una: We’d never come out and say we are better than Girls Aloud, they have been there and done it. Bands like The Sugababes and Girls Aloud are great examples for us.
Frankie: “I mean come on Girls Aloud gave us are break, they let us come on tour with them, we would never say anything bad about the girls.”
On the new album:
Mollie: “It’s still hot but we have all grown up a bit, especially as a group, and we have improved a lot musically so all that together is going to make a pretty hot album.
Frankie: There is going to be a bit of a rocky sound, but there is still going to be a lot of pop songs as well, we are not exactly going heavy metal, that will be the next album!
On Kanye West’s VMA rant:
Vanessa: “I love Kanye but what he did was out of order, he totally stole the girls moment.
Frankie: “I real like Taylor Swift, she has great songs so I was furious.
Rochelle: “He ruined Beyonce’s moment as well.”
The girls were spot on, and sure enough they rocked the night away when they got up on stage. Top girls, and we wish them the best of luck in taking over the world.
