BuzzJack Music Forum _ Girls Aloud _ Sarah Harding • TBA

Posted by: THEO. Apr 24 2013, 02:09 PM

Finally Sarah has announced that she has begun work on a solo album. No date has been set yet though. Here's a report from BBC Newsbeat:

QUOTE
Sarah Harding feels '200% better' after Girls Aloud split

Sarah Harding says she is "200% better" following the Girls Aloud split.

The singer made the comments while being unveiled as an ambassador for the military charity Coming Home, which aims to help rehabilitate and re-home wounded soldiers.

In 2011, the singer was treated for depression and alcohol addiction following a split from her ex-boyfriend, DJ Tom Crane.

But she said she is "ready and able" to move on with her life.

Sarah Harding talked about plans for her new album, which she says will be a mix of edgier pop and will be more mature.

The 31-year-old says she "likes to raise eyebrows" and is hoping to do so with her new album.


Writing

"I've been doing a lot of writing recently," she said. "I've got quite a lot to write about. I'm really looking forward to showing people what I've got.

"Again, I have a very eclectic taste in music, so for me it's finding a direction which I now seem to be finding quite well."

When asked what she has to write about, Sarah replied: "Let's not go there. Obviously it's been an interesting few years for me. So, there'll be stuff on there definitely."


Sarah Harding would not elaborate on her relationship with band member Nadine Coyle, who was reported to have been upset about the split of the band.

"I'm excited for the future and nervous," she admitted. "I'm hoping people are going to like what I do both for this charity and also for my music career and everything else that might be popping up along the way.

"It's an adventure. It's a new adventure and it's a new chapter."

Talan Skeels-Piggins (above) was injured 10 years ago and is paralysed from the waist down.

He has benefited from the Coming Home charity, which helped him with modifications to his home.

He said: "Providing you with the right accommodation is vital so that you can enjoy a great quality of life."

I'm interested to hear what her 'sound' is - I imagine of the girls' albums, it'll be most alike Cinderella's Eyes, but however good it is, it probably won't be a success sad.gif

If it's anything like Too Bad, I will be happy, but I don't hold out much hope for it to be good at all.

Posted by: Silver Rocket Apr 25 2013, 08:20 PM

I remember 'Too Bad' ohmy.gif I really liked it!

Posted by: Lukuzz Apr 25 2013, 08:25 PM

Intrigued to see what she can come up with..

Posted by: Griff Apr 25 2013, 08:26 PM

If this isn't a hot mess album of epic proportions, then I will be very disappointed.

Posted by: Slick Apr 25 2013, 08:45 PM

I'm pretty sure this will be some sort of fake pop-rock chick thing ala Amelia Lily with a less powerful voice.

She was one fifth of the biggest and most glamorous girl group in pop's history. But reflecting on her time with Girls Aloud, Sarah Harding has admitted that she was too thin.

Speaking to MailOnline, Sarah said: 'I was too skinny when I was with the girls, it was ageing.'

The 32-year-old has now adopted a much more healthy approach to her weight and, like many celebrities, has jumped on the juicing bandwagon.

'I've caught the juicing bug. I love being in the iamspamamispamwhoamspam and cooking and creating juices and smoothies every day.

'I love anything green and I make my own juices packed with kale, parsley, cucumber, courgettes, apples, plus spirulina and chlorella.

'If I want to fill myself up I will add ice and half an avocado. It looks gross, but it tastes great.'

The pop star loves juicing so much that she visits the Jason Vale juicing retreat twice a year. 'It's hard, we don't eat,' she said of her time there.

Despite her love of all things green, Sarah says that she eats plenty throughout the day and loves sweet treats.

Too thin: Sarah, pictured left with Nadine Coyle when the group first started out in 2004 and, right, in 2007, says her skinny look was 'ageing'

'I'm Irish, I love stodge! I'm a picker but I do try to steer clear of gluten because it bloats me, there's lots of great gluten-free alternatives though.

'I have a naughty cupboard at home with Skittles and Haribo from my fans who know I love them,' she said.

Sarah is on a mission to undo the years of late nights and has even signed up as an ambassador for anti-bacterial face wash, Faceb4.

The brand said Sarah was the perfect ambassador because she is so honest about her breakouts.

Speaking about her skin, Sarah said: ‘Travelling a lot doesn’t agree with my skin so I am obsessed with cleansing morning and night at the moment.

‘I am hooked on Faceb4, which I use before photo shoots because it removes the bacteria before applying cosmetics and keeps my skin healthy. It's also amazing after a heavy weekend!'

Aside from juicing and hitting the gym three times, Sarah is focusing on her hotly-anticipated solo career.

'I am so excited about my new music, it speaks volumes about my personality. I love writing songs but I find the recording process very monotonous and quite draining.

'I know it will be worth it in the end, it will be such an amazing sense of achievement and I hope it's well received; I'm my own worst critic.'


If there was one member of Girls Aloud who loved a good time, it was without a doubt Sarah.

But the notorious party girl says she's calmed down and now prefers to spend her evenings in a more conservative way.

'Me and my partner Mark are addicted to Breaking Bad. We watch three episodes a night and sit there munching away on popcorn together.'

Despite her cosy life with DJ Mark Foster, Sarah insists that she won't be following bandmate Kimberley Walsh and Nadine Coyles's footsteps by having a baby.

Speaking about Kimberley's pregnancy announcement, she said: 'I wasn't at all surprised, she's been with Justin for years and years but it won't be me next. I have a lot of boxes to tick before I start a family.'


Sarah is also playing an intimate gig at O2 Islington to showcase some of her original material!



Who knows when we'll get to hear any of it but I thought I might as well start a thread for it now.

Always my favourite Girl Aloud so looking forward to her solo stuff. Her St. Trinians tracks are brilliant.

I'm sorry but juicing to me will always mean steroids?

Posted by: Hayzayy Mar 2 2014, 07:37 PM

I've been waiting for this for way too long now. And I think we're gonna have to wait some few months again, if it ever gets released.
I'm not quite sure the label is going to give her a real chance to be a success, so I guess it's all gonna be quite confidential but oh well, I want Sarah's music in my life.

Posted by: THEO. Mar 3 2014, 11:05 PM

Interesting! I'd definitely be interested in going to the live show, but in regards to commercial success, I don't think she'll be having any unfortunately.

Really excited to see things finally coming together (hopefully anyway!), I really want an album from her so we can have at least one from all 5 girls heehee.gif

I wonder what sort of music Sarah will do? I can see her going down a rock-pop route. Maybe something along the lines of Kelly Clarkson's 'My December'?

Posted by: JosephStyles Jun 4 2015, 08:01 PM

I just want her to have loads of fun tracks to suit her personality (alongside some slower ones too of course), rock-pop sounds like it could show that off well!

Definitely or something along the vein of "Behind These Hazel Eyes" wub.gif

She's been confirmed to appear at http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/showbiz-news/former-girls-aloud-singer-sarah-9398126 (Friday 28th - Monday 31st August) where she'll be showcasing solo material! w00t.gif

ICONIC logo!

Posted by: Hayzayy Jun 12 2015, 10:13 PM

I'm so happy it's finally happening for her !

And the logo is ace, very 2004 and I'm sure the music will be up to 2004's level of pop amazingness too.

Posted by: billy. Jun 13 2015, 10:01 AM

Shes been signed to Sony apparently?!

Posted by: Jay ジ Jun 13 2015, 03:47 PM

Oh my *.*

I'd absolutely love if things went well for her. I'm not exactly confident that that will be the case considering previous solo GA attempts (bar Cheryl obvs), but you just never know.

Posted by: Juranamo Jun 14 2015, 04:05 PM

Sarah to do BETTER than Tweedy/Cole/Fernandez-Versini's last couple of eras plz.

Posted by: AdamAloud Jun 25 2015, 07:16 AM

She is shooting a music video today *.*

Posted by: JosephStyles Jun 25 2015, 11:52 AM

She's also confirmed we're getting music this summer cheer.gif I am ridiculously excited now *.*

Posted by: Hayzayy Jun 25 2015, 11:57 AM

Posted by: AdamAloud Jun 25 2015, 01:14 PM

I'm not saying she's going to have solo success to the length of what Cheryl had, but Sarah really has done everything so right so far in terms of launching a solo career. Increasing her presence on social media (I've seen a couple of #AskSarah sessions lately) and boosting her public profile with Coronation Street and Masterchef are fantastic moves on her/her management's behalf.

Posted by: JosephStyles Jun 25 2015, 01:31 PM

I think she could at least get a top 100 hit with her first single which, all things considered, is not that bad! Would love it if she could go top 40 but not gonna get my hopes up kink.gif

Posted by: Jay ジ Jun 27 2015, 03:01 AM

I really hope she does well! wub.gif

Yes please wub.gif

Posted by: AdamAloud Aug 6 2015, 01:01 PM

She's also releasing a 'Threads EP' tomorrow, which is 3 tracks and a remix. Unsure if this is all we're getting or if it's just a taster for the album at this point.

The release of a full album surely depends on how well the single/EP does, so she's f***ed.

Shame cause Indelible sounds great.

Posted by: Sean. Aug 7 2015, 07:56 AM



EP at the moment I think.

It's "indelible". smile.gif
Where can we listen to it?

Posted by: AdamAloud Aug 7 2015, 12:12 PM

3 great tracks really. I prefer 'Live Before I Die' to 'Indelible' purely because it's uptempo. Not saying that a Sarah ballad is a bad thing, just not something I saw Sarah doing personally.

Is it not on Spotify for you Hayzayy?

Posted by: Hayzayy Aug 7 2015, 06:08 PM

Could anyone send me the two new tracks? There's no way I listen to it in France and that's annoyiiiing !!

Posted by: barbaric_dan Aug 9 2015, 03:45 PM

I would send but it'd only be via Spotify. Is it on Youtube?

Posted by: Hayzayy Aug 9 2015, 06:50 PM

Not on Youtube, I check all the time sad.gif

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE Aug 11 2015, 05:06 PM

How hard did you look?

Erm, they were added today (August 11th).
What about you tone it down a bit when you talk to people?


Anyway, "Indelible" is a beautiful song. It's hard to release ballads as singles but she should have gone for that one.

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE Aug 11 2015, 05:55 PM

The second video says 3 days ago?

I wasn't actually checking dates when I sent them. The words 'thank you' suffice.

The second video doesn't work, in my country at least.
