Girls Aloud Are Stripped Bare In "Beautiful 'Cause You Love Me"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Friday, December 7, 2012 0 comments

Girls Aloud get seriously up-close-and-personal and bare their vulnerable sides in the stripped back seductive video for their emotionally-charged new single, "Beautiful 'Cause You Love Me," which follows hot on the heels of their lead comeback single "Something New" from their greatest hits collection, "Ten." Unlike their previous release which launched their 10 year reunion with a bang, this video takes an all natural approach pushing glitz and glam to one side in favor of nearly naked outfits, barely there make up and bath time singing.
So with Christmas approaching, Girls Aloud have decided to slow things down for their next single with a romantic emotional ballad with the empowering message behind it. Ballads were never why people loved Girls Aloud. This group's legend was built on dizzyingly complicated prog-pop bangers, which pushed the envelope of what a pop song could achieve, blowing fluoro-pink gum bubbles as they went. The gals have clearly been a bit clever with this one and appealing to our need for a big ballad, they've combined some awesome, soaring vocals with a video that involves everything necessary to get us well away on the festive bandwagon.
The "Something Kinda Ooh" hitmakers, who have reunited to celebrate their tenth anniversary, look elegant dressed in white gowns as they pose in white gowns and mime the elegantly-charged lyrics to their brand spanking new ballad, and the ladies do look breathtakingly stunning. Incidentally, it could be argued that Girls Aloud are beautiful 'cause of unfair genetics and the aforementioned nude lipstick, but that doesn't sound quite so catchy. So we understand why they went with a romantic angle instead, despite their fast-paced tracks tend to sell better than their ballads traditionally.
In bed and the bath with Girls Aloud. The English-Irish belles get all steamed up and dressed in next-to-nothing in sexy new clip, which was filmed in a big ol' mansion in West London. The song's musical visuals are just as soft, romantic, and gorgeous as the tune itself! The promo sees each of these lovely ladies roll around in between the finest silk sheets and a bath, posing in a series of artistic close-ups as seductively as they possibly can, until they are brought together to drape themselves across a lounge chair in a desolate house, and sing the touching words to the ballad.

Girls Aloud Are Bringing Up More Than Just "Something New"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Monday, October 22, 2012 0 comments

British all-female Pop belles Girls Aloud are back. After a three-year hiatus, the five-piece have tantalized their fans with a glimpse of their long-awaited new music video for their high octane comeback track, "Something New," the lead single from the UK quintet's new compilation "Ten - The Hits," due for release in November 26 to mark the band's tenth anniversary, which features all of their greatest hits to date as well as three extra newly record songs.
It's not strange to have had reservations about the return of Girls Aloud. The five-piece girl band appeared together in public for the first time to announce plans for a greatest hits collection, 2013 reunion tour and to open up about their decision to get back together after a three year hiatus. In the footage, Cheryl Cole, Kimberley Walsh, Sarah Harding, Nadine Coyle and Nicola Roberts are seen dressed in identical bright orange tulip-skirt dresses as they strut away from the camera on a monochrome set.
The track, "Something New," is upbeat dance anthem, and it continues Girls Aloud's trendsetting music path. it heavily features Cheryl's vocals, although this is mixed up with rapping and lines from all of the girls. Its empowering lyrics are a complete declaration of intentions, a reminder of who is finally coming back and reclaiming their more than deserved throne. The song received generally positive reviews from contemporary critics, who complimented the song's unusual structure, as well as the lyrical content, with most comparing it to girl power and feminist themed songs by Beyonce and The Spice Girls.
The Ray Kay-directed fast-paced video matches its swagger, and features a mixture of black-and-white and colored shots. The video showcases each member of Girls Aloud in a separate clips within the video for their respective parts of the song, while dancing alone, before coming together for a final performance and declaring "We're the leaders of the pack." In what appears to be a hybrid lyric/regular music video assures us once again that these girls are innovators and will stop at nothing to lead the pack. No, in all seriousness though. Can you handle that?
