SLAY ME HARDCORE

Posted by: JosephStyles 2nd July 2015, 09:35 PM

THAT ARTWORK!!

Already well and truly slain.

Posted by: Sean. 2nd July 2015, 09:41 PM

Imagine the album artwork! *.*

Posted by: Davidson 2nd July 2015, 10:16 PM

I am very interested to hear this. Don't have high expectations for any commercial success at all but she could come out with something decent, who knows?

Posted by: Jay ジ 3rd July 2015, 12:07 AM

I'm ready!!!

Really like the artwork and love her logo. Probably the best solo Aloud logo so far, and to be honest a lot better than most of the GA ones!

Posted by: ThePensmith 3rd July 2015, 08:40 AM

Love that artwork! I'm intrigued to hear what this'll be like, as I had her three St Trinian's 2 tracks on loop at one point c. late 2009 ('Too Bad' was my jam).

According to Digital Spy she's going to make it available to stream first before the actual release date...someone at Sony obviously has their thinking cap on there.

Posted by: mr_aly 3rd July 2015, 09:32 AM

Rather interested to see what she'll throw out!

Posted by: Joe. 3rd July 2015, 02:35 PM

Yas Sarah! I hope it's something like Miss You Bow Wow or On The Metro.

Posted by: Hayzayy 3rd July 2015, 02:52 PM

Omg I can't wait !
A summer without a solo GA anthem isn't a good summer. cheer.gif

Available for pre-order from midnight!

First opinion: am I alone in thinking it's difficult to hear what the words are in places/at times it sounds like Nicola singing? laugh.gif

Posted by: Atonement 6th July 2015, 07:32 AM

I like this.

In before all the hate.

Posted by: Joe. 6th July 2015, 08:45 AM

Trash. Love it

Posted by: Hayzayy 6th July 2015, 09:31 AM

That instumental intro is atrocious in every possible way. But bar that bit, I love the song on first listen.
Let's be honest, it sounds dated but in an enjoyable way, and her voice sounds great on it. wub.gif

Posted by: Liаm 6th July 2015, 09:36 AM

It sounds like what Charlotte Church would have released in 2007 on a follow-up album to Tissues & Issues... That SHOULD be a good thing but it's really not laugh.gif awful.

Posted by: Joe. 6th July 2015, 11:52 AM

She tweeted that the album is out 7th August? Is she mistaken?

Posted by: JosephStyles 6th July 2015, 11:55 AM

That's so soon for the album if she's not made a mistake ohmy.gif but then, this is Sarah... kink.gif

Threads is absolutely mad but I LOVE it, it's exactly what I wanted from Sarah wub.gif

Posted by: OutstandingMixer 6th July 2015, 12:03 PM

This sounds absolutely abysmal on first listen. It sounds like a demo and it's a struggle to understand what the hell she's singing about half the time.

Posted by: Jay ジ 6th July 2015, 12:16 PM

*.* Joseph!

I wasn't sure at first, but with another couple of listens I'm now feeling it. I just ordered the CD single(!!) http://sarahharding.tmstor.es/ merci beaucoup for making me aware of this Joe! It's signed by the way.

Posted by: JosephStyles 6th July 2015, 12:40 PM

I will be pre-ordering the CD single later, my wish coming true of at least one CD from each of them heart.gif

Posted by: Regina 6th July 2015, 12:40 PM

LOVE.

Posted by: Ryan. 6th July 2015, 01:05 PM

I enjoy the verses a lot but the pre-chorus and chorus seems like a random mash-up of more than one song and the vocoder effect doesn't sound great! kink.gif

Posted by: AdamAloud 6th July 2015, 01:42 PM

omg *.*

It's EXACTLY how I imagined a solo Sarah single to sound, rocky and a bit mad!

Pre-ordered the physical too *.* Was worried she wasn't going to bother!

Posted by: Cameron 6th July 2015, 01:47 PM

This is a bit of a disaster. Sarah always had the second best voice (After nuhdeen) sad.gif

Posted by: *Tim 6th July 2015, 02:18 PM


Posted by: barbaric_dan 6th July 2015, 02:23 PM

It sounds like an unused demo from the SOTU era.

Posted by: April 6th July 2015, 02:33 PM

Pretty awful.

Posted by: J▲hq 6th July 2015, 02:47 PM

I was really rooting for this to be good, but I'm not really feeling it, underwhelmed. sad.gif

Posted by: JosephStyles 6th July 2015, 02:49 PM

Taking my stan glasses off for a second, I wasn't entirely sure what to think on my first listen to the track, but was totally sold on the second listen so it might prove to be a grower for anyone who's not keen on it right now! Don't write it off just yet *.*

Posted by: AdamAloud 6th July 2015, 03:00 PM

Sarah's gonna be on Radio 2 within the next 10 minutes, get those 'Threads' pre-orders *.*

It kinda gets worse every time tho. I've listened to it three times now and I hate my life more every time

Posted by: Liаm 6th July 2015, 04:05 PM

Posted by: Acoustic 6th July 2015, 04:45 PM

It's so 2007 trashy pop. I'm not sure if I like it, the chorus is messy.

Posted by: Aled. 6th July 2015, 05:01 PM

Oh Sarah. I think she's a far better pop star than most people give her credit for, and I was willing this to be decent, but it's exactly the mess I was expecting. Wasn't she working with Xenomania back in 2013? I guess she wanted to carve something out for herself instead of essentially releasing Girls Aloud tracks, but I would have taken Sarah's take on the unreleased Amelia Lily album over this.

That instrumental and that chorus, c'mon Sarah. They are pretty abysmal.

I actually do like the verses though. Very similar melodically to 'Long Hot Summer' so I am happy I get some kind of GA throwback involved laugh.gif

Posted by: AdamAloud 6th July 2015, 08:39 PM

I think this is the closest any of them have got to releasing a 'Girls Aloud' song. This could easily have been a b-side during Tangled Up/Out Of Control.

You really claiming this stands besides the likes of 'Memory of You'?

Gurl.

There is defo a slight GA throwback feel as I said but still, they would never touch something THIS messy.

Posted by: AdamAloud 6th July 2015, 08:54 PM

I was thinking more along the lines of 'Dog Without A Bone' and 'It's Your Dynamite'.

And I don't think it's that messy really. It's got a clunky, quirky instrumental but to me that's part of its charm and what gives it a 'Girls Aloud' vibe.

Even better, a Sarah and Amelia collaboration album. *.*.*.*.*.*.*

I actually quite liked the minute or so of this I just listened to, think I may preorder the CD single...

Posted by: Jade 6th July 2015, 09:15 PM

Okay I was very unsure on the first listen but am unashamedly quite liking it a few listens later. Trashy as HELL but very infectious all the same.

Posted by: Noahspike 6th July 2015, 11:37 PM

I played this on Youtube just now and genuinely assumed the intro was some shit advert at first. unsure.gif

It would be nice to enjoy this on some level because Sarah's always been extremely likeable but I really can't see that happening. Absolute mess. :/

Posted by: ThePensmith 7th July 2015, 07:51 AM

I like it! Got a bit of a 60's thing going on which is a big tick in its favour. I'm glad she's keeping spiritually akin to Girls Aloud with the sound she's going for.

Posted by: Lukuzz 7th July 2015, 08:05 PM

Hmm it's a bit of a mess.. I need to listen again 😁

Posted by: Robot 9th July 2015, 02:57 PM

Didn't even know this was going to be a thing, but I was expecting some fabulous anthemic trash-pop but this is just quite tuneless, sounds cheap and demo-ish and really does nothing for me. Big disappointment sad.gif

Posted by: mr_aly 9th July 2015, 03:14 PM

That chorus is so disjointed! It sounded vaguely promising until that, although I wasn't really expecting much anyway.

I enjoyed 'Too Bad', something like that would've been nice.

Posted by: Sean. 17th July 2015, 07:22 AM

Was sneak previewed on GMB:

Posted by: Hayzayy 17th July 2015, 12:33 PM

I'm not very fond of that kind of studio/performance video but that was expected. It doesn't seem to look cheap though and she looks great so who knows, it could work!

Posted by: AdamAloud 17th July 2015, 01:36 PM

Excited for the full thing, hopefully not too long to wait now biggrin.gif

Posted by: JosephStyles 17th July 2015, 01:42 PM

That clip looks good! The budget must be quite low understandably but I'm sure it will still have the Sarah touch, it looks that way in the clip.

Posted by: Sean. 18th July 2015, 09:07 AM

This is really starting to grow on me but I'm still undecided on it!

Posted by: panther25 21st July 2015, 06:21 AM

The way the host went "wow" after the clip aired sounded like a what the hell was that sort of wow. laugh.gif When is this video suppose to debut?

Posted by: Cameron 22nd July 2015, 03:10 PM

This is much better on second listen laugh.gif but I think I need to wait for the video before it can fully make an impact on me

Love the video! Definitely enjoying the song a bit more now but the parts where she is infront of the orange backdrop and then getting up infront of the camera gives me P!nk vibes!

Posted by: AdamAloud 27th July 2015, 01:30 PM

Perfect video for Sarah and the song! It'd be great to see this sneak into the top 100 but sadly I think that might be a little over-ambitious sad.gif

Posted by: barbaric_dan 27th July 2015, 06:07 PM

Whats with the scenes filmed on an iPhone?

Posted by: Umi 27th July 2015, 07:14 PM

I like the song but the amount of "I don't want to admit to myself that it's shit" compliments in this thread is hilarious. Like yes the song and the video are "So Sarah" but that doesn't change the fact that it's a very-Sarah-Harding-concept with shit execution. The video's horrendously directed.

Posted by: Martyn 27th July 2015, 07:22 PM

Tried searching for this on youtube, the top suggestion for Sarah is still bum note, I ended up watching that on a loop for 5 minuets.

Sarah will be performing 'Threads' live for the first time on Irish TV tonight!

Hopefully there'll be some UK promo next week, even it's just This Morning and Loose Women.

Posted by: JosephStyles 2nd August 2015, 01:58 AM



A really solid performance there! The song works very well live I think, she's got the energy too. It's not top 1500 on Irish iTunes though drama.gif

Posted by: AdamAloud 2nd August 2015, 07:18 AM

She's on Sunday Brunch this morning as well! Bringing that promo.

AND she's on The Matt Edmondson Show on Radio 1 today too! biggrin.gif

Lol this mimed performance has her trending on Facebook!

Posted by: Andrew Froot 7th August 2015, 12:35 PM

Seems to be struggling to go higher than #700 on iTunes! Not doing much better than Amelle's single last year, and that would've sold more (as sales were around 15% higher then).

Posted by: sajjadali 7th August 2015, 04:52 PM

It's doing shocking bad on the singles chart. I was expecting no where near that level. Wow. Bit sad!

But on the plus side she's 29 on EP Album chart on ITunes in UK, and 15 in Ireland. So it'll add up.

Keep streaming it people, press repeat. Costs nothing. 100 streams = 1 sale.

Oh and my CD is here too!! wub.gif wub.gif wub.gif wub.gif

Posted by: panther25 7th August 2015, 05:14 PM

Ugh. Why go with Threads as the single when the other two are much better?

I wonder what's next for Sarah. Everything seems to have flopped and she doesn't have general public support. Song writing like Nicola?

Posted by: Hayzayy 7th August 2015, 07:53 PM

Just watched the performance on Lorraine, embarrassing. Why the hell did she mime it? She's always been awful at miming, and her live performance on the Irish show was just fine, she doesn't need to mime it. Wrong decision Sarah!

Posted by: sajjadali 8th August 2015, 08:54 PM

Song now down to 1,200 on iTunes, EP is at 63 in UK. Not good.
The signed CD hasn't sold out either and that was 2,000 copies only limited.
Only 7,800 streams on Spotify so far. Converts to 78 sales.

GET STREAMING AND BUYING ALL FANS.
Every 100 streams counts to 1 sale.
Just listen to thirty seconds and it'll count as a stream.
Each person can stream the song 10 times = 1000 streams and it will count in the charts.

Posted by: Umi 8th August 2015, 10:07 PM

There's no point. No amount of streaming is getting a song that's selling that little into the chart. And frankly it'd be less embarrassing to miss the chart altogether than have a #193 in her discography.

Posted by: Jaÿ 9th August 2015, 05:43 AM

I feel bad for Sarah! sad.gif Honestly I didn't imagine she'd do this badly with the song - out of the Top 1500 on iTunes within 2 days. :/

I guess this will be it for her solo career then... I can't see an album materialising anymore. I think the main problem is that she completely missed the boat. The time for her to give a solo career a go would have been 2009/10/11, like the others. Suddenly this makes Nadine's Insatiable going to #26 look ok - lol.

Posted by: AdamAloud 9th August 2015, 07:52 AM

I dread to think what the sales will be. sad.gif

Posted by: Lukuzz 9th August 2015, 08:36 AM

Posted by: barbaric_dan 9th August 2015, 09:44 AM

I thought this was gonna be a #65 smasher

Posted by: Slick 9th August 2015, 10:21 AM

Whilst this song isn't bad, Sarah's vocal performance really is rather terrible. I'm a HUGE Girls Aloud fan and I have all of the solo albums (minus Kimberley's cover album of tripe), but even I am not interested in downloading this - even illegally.

THAT SAID, I expected it to CHART at least. To see somebody who is still semi well-known miss the Top 700 on iTunes is quite a shock.

Posted by: 『bré』 9th August 2015, 04:34 PM

The problem with Sarah Harding is she just has a style that puts me in mind of a calcified foot. Replete with cheesy foot smell, and even though Space doesn't usually carry smells, y'all can bet ya dolla that the aliens are still sniffin and cringin under that cheesy pong from the sheer awfulness of ha songs. She just calcified foots ha way into iTunes, mutters someit aboot Threads oe breaking guts or some other beige shet then shuffles out. Bitch, not even like these are real threats, unlike Screech!! (Omg Screech puke.gif They played it in the supermarket yesterday n I didn't reañise at first What it was as wasn't payin attention n I said to the cashier What kind of utter aqful vocal hell garbage is this!! It was Screeeech!! What a fookin peel of radio cañón fodder slosh snot Screech tryna be Adele!! Even thinkin aboot how my eara were polluted like that with that comercial Adele wannabe Screech, I just can't!)

An bitch, don:t come for Nadine lest you find yoself against the BuffyCharmed an bitch I'll snatch yo gurkin merkin putrid nap an send it to the sugababes as a symbol of yo surrender to their will!

I doubt her team would have invested in a radio tour and promo if it was a pet project.

I was more on about her personally as opposed to the team. She could have easily have captailised on her time just after the group like Cheryl/Nadine/Nicola but didn't.

On the side of what though? Her acting career has never taken off and I'm sure that was coined as a side project to a solo music career at some point! It's such a shame to see this and Sarah flop as she's always been my favourite Girl Aloud. sad.gif But I have to agree with Jay, she left it far too late to actually get a decent chart hit out of any solo material. Not that she would've had success to the extent of what Cheryl had, but a top 40 single/album was something I thought each girl could get at the very least.

Let's hope the Girls Aloud reunion 2.0 is not far away! cheer.gif

Side project to living life? kink.gif

But no, I don't think any of the girls would have had the success Cheryl's had.

Any chance of her having even modest commercial success after delaying her solo career for so long was obliterated when 'Threads' was chosen as the track to launch her. Legitimately one of the worst attempts at a debut single I've ever heard and, harsh as it may be because she's a nice person, she didn't deserve any better than she got with it.

Of course she's not in it for the commercial success, but she needs at least some level of success if she wants her label to release her album and I'd bet she wants to avoid embarrassing herself too. Unfortunately what's happening right now is pretty embarrassing.

Agreed with Noah anyway. Girls Aloud as solo artist have chosen some genuine clangers as lead singles but 'Threads' has to take the biscuit. Even Cheryl in 2009 would have bombed with it.

So Sean's copy of the EP from yesterday was one of 43 copies sold drama.gif Down to #188 in the mids today so absolutely no chance of making the top 200 overall.

43 physicals? Ouch

Posted by: Jaÿ 12th August 2015, 08:10 PM

Nope, 43 "sales" yesterday overall (downloads/stream/physicals [if she sold any CDs yesterday])

Posted by: JosephStyles 12th August 2015, 08:47 PM

Yup Jay's correct, 43 overall. Such a disaster for Sarah drama.gif

This. I think this is true of both her and the others, they all really pursued solo stuff just for a bit of experimentation rather than being hell bent on Robbie/Beyonce style glory. Yes, even Nadine.

Cheryl's the exception rather than the rule, and ever since they went on a break seems to be on a constant mission to play the 'Melanie C c. 2000 - 2007' card and denounce her associations with involvement in 'Love Machine' or 'Something Kinda Ooooh'. Both of which I'd take in a heartbeat over some of the crap she's put on her albums.

Posted by: Martyn 14th August 2015, 07:51 PM

So Threads misses the top 200 on sales of 1,637. It did however chart at #2 on the physical single chart with 625 physical copies sold. However that was over 4000 physical copies behind the number one physical single.

Poor Sarah sad.gif

Best get Cheryl and Nadine locked in a room to sort out their differences magic.gif

So excited to see her live today!!

That's about what I always expected for her from the outset really.

Posted by: Umi 15th August 2015, 05:02 PM

I think if she had released anything other than 'Threads' it would have been a different result. That was just ... suicidal.

Posted by: Lana Del Jay 15th August 2015, 06:37 PM

Hopefully Sarah will be pleased that 'Threads' cracked the Top 10 in Jayrusalem and was an OA/OS #1 in Bellamia. ohmy.gif

Love Machine
Live Before I Die
The Promise
Threads

LBID is so fun live.

Poor Sarah sad.gif

I do agree though, for it to have had more of an impact she missed the boat by five years. I'm surprised one of her songs for St Trinian's 2 wasn't a single to be honest, they missed out on that opportunity.

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 18th August 2015, 12:22 PM

She had promo though. So even without radio play it should have hit the top 75?

Posted by: JosephStyles 18th August 2015, 12:53 PM

One bad performance of the track is hardly gonna sell ~6.5k copies of the track (ie. what is needed for top 75). Radio play on Radio 1 or Capital is the best way to get a chart hit - she had neither. The Girls Aloud fanbase can only get her so far 2 and a half years after the split. I thought it could go top 200 but it's not really a shock that she missed out.

Posted by: liamk97 18th August 2015, 03:21 PM

Sarah Harding is evidence that any publicity isn't always good publicity. She's been quite inescapable this year with her appearances on Radio 1, Tumble, Masterchef and Corrie but I believe the latter 3 were slated (understatement in regards to Corrie!). Then the poor girl got the shit ripped out of her for miming in a performance, which is something plenty of artists do but she certainly got it worse. Topping that off with a flop single, it must really suck to be her and I feel tremendously sorry for her! tongue.gif

Posted by: Martyn 18th August 2015, 03:27 PM

Will we ever get an actual position for her?

Posted by: JosephStyles 18th August 2015, 03:46 PM

It's VERY rare that they'll reveal a position outside the top 200 so I'd say no.

She's a multi millionaire, it can't be that bad!

There's still a career somewhere. The Girls Alouds always bounce back from their downfalls (US X Factor, insatiable etc).

Now all she gets is that X Factor performance and Threads will be number 1 kink.gif
