The British/Irish girl group THE SATURDAYS have released the music video, the dance routine matches for their lead single "Missing You" from the girlband's forthcoming third project "Headlines," a total of five new songs for the eight-track mini LP. "Missing You" is released on August 9, followed by "Headlines" on August 16."Missing You" comes with a b-side song, "Ready to Rise," and features the five girls on storming form. It's an R&B-ish ballad from the girls and the chorus gets stuck to my head after the first listen. A commendable effort, the song is great for the radio. The bittersweet lyrics are an ode to a lost love, sung beautifully over some monster synth riffs, perfect for a summer smash. Fittingly, the video was recently shot at the end of May in Malaga, Spain. It's basically one big advert for summer, and the band walk around on a beach and dance in a rock pool (with artful splashing) dressed in a variety of beachwear.
Within in the music video Frankie Sandford is seen wearing a cropped white top and white shorts, Frankie walks casually through a field in the video, seemingly unaware of the attention her astonishing six pack is receiving. Una Healy also displayed her toned stomach in a white bikini top, denim waistcoat and long skirt, while Mollie King shows a modest hint of her tummy in a cropped shirt. Vanessa White and Rochelle Wiseman are the only two members of the band not to flash their midriffs in the new video.
Believe it or not, it's just over a year since THE SATURDAYS touched down on Planet Pop and quickly set about redecorating it in the neon shades of their sparklingly fluorescent hyper-pop. Since then a combination of nifty, killer tunes, super-tight performances and pure, hard graft has taken Frankie, Mollie, Rochelle, Una and Vanessa from bright-eyed pop ing'enues to permanent fixtures on the UK charts. Whatever scepticism and lazy comparisons greeted them initially have simply been swept away by a tireless ethos of getting on with it. The fact remains, since their debut last summer, THE SATURDAYS have had more hits than any other girl group in the land.
It's not gone unnoticed that music's needed a bloody good kick up the arse for some time now. Indie and R & B are all well and good, but what the hell are we supposed to dance to? Well wonder no more, because THE SATURDAYS's are about to throw themselves headfirst into your consciousness like a five-woman whirlwind, and bring back some much-needed, shameless fun to the charts. They're pure pop and just proud of it.
