As mentioned by Hurricane in Vanessa's thread, her first EP is titled 'Chapter One'. I think the Queen deserves her own thread for her EP 
Posted by: SeanGrey 5th January 2016, 10:41 PM
How very Kelly Clarkson and Ella Henderson of her.
Posted by: Jimmy Jam 5th January 2016, 11:09 PM
Lipstick Kisses sounds like it could be a jam though! I have high hopes! SLAY US QWEEN!
Posted by: Totto 6th January 2016, 04:41 AM
Picture this: After Vanessa's Funk Alternative R&B EP, Una follow up a country ballad EP "Chapter 2", followed up by Mollie's Bubblegum Dance Pop EP "Chapter 3". After a few months Francesca decides to put out another Electronic-pop EP "Chapter 4", but not short after, Rochelle Humes puts out her Dance-Pop R&B influence EP "Chapter 5".
Later they all come together to put out their last album "The Last Chapter".

I agree. How long did it take you to think of that Totto? Have you been sitting on it for months?

Third chapters are always the best.

nah the penultimate chapter is when all the good shit happens 
Posted by: SeanGrey 6th January 2016, 07:06 PM
nah the penultimate chapter is when all the good shit happens Usually when a character dies, in this case it'll be a diabolical attempt from Rochelle with another pregnancy as she aims to release her EP on US iTunes and has to fly back, history repeats itself

Ooooooo O.O it sounds very MARIAH *.*
Posted by: Cameron 7th January 2016, 12:36 PM
Really enjoyed it, not the next single I assume as I think Hurricane said Wretch32 was on it?
So ready for Vanessa's first proper release!
Posted by: Cameron 7th January 2016, 12:42 PM
Oh wait, there is a video
Posted by: tommie 7th January 2016, 01:13 PM
So much better than that trash The Saturdays put out. Slay a bit.

Pre-Ordered. I am ready to contribute to the 10 sales.
Posted by: Joe. 7th January 2016, 02:47 PM
I'm surprised she managed to get someone vaguely relevant to collab with her!
I predict 23 sales including streaming.
Posted by: Cameron 7th January 2016, 02:48 PM
Wretch 32 has always been a fan of and supported the Sats, plus I think he is friendly with them all so I assume it is a favor
Nostalgia is really growing with every listen!
Posted by: Jimmy Jam 7th January 2016, 02:50 PM
As samey as all 4 sound, I'm really enjoying Nostalgia as well. Pre-ordered as well #SaleNumber2
Posted by: Cameron 7th January 2016, 02:57 PM
If the mods don't pre-order and make it 5 sales you're not fit for your roles xo
(seriously though )
Posted by: JSG 7th January 2016, 03:02 PM
Nostalgia is the best thing I've heard so far from her and the video is fantastic!
Posted by: JSG 7th January 2016, 03:03 PM
Nostalgia is currently #1182 in iTunes UK 
Posted by: Joe. 7th January 2016, 03:09 PM
Omg 28 sales! That's more than any of us predicited!
Posted by: Froot. 7th January 2016, 03:17 PM
Will this sell more than 'Threads' or Geri's masterpiece 'Half of Me' tho?
Posted by: JSG 7th January 2016, 03:51 PM
Quite.

The Vanessa impact
Posted by: Martyn 7th January 2016, 06:48 PM
The style isn't really my taste, she would have been better off going for pop with r'n'b influences rather than straight up R'n'B. Other than that, her vocals especially on Lipstick kisses just don't sound good. Sorry Vanessa and her 7 fans, if this is what you're bringing to the table I will gladly skip this meal.

The Saturdays are still widely known, widely liked, and have loads of celebrity friends. They've sold far more than Wretch 32 and have made a much bigger impact so it's not like working with Vanessa is below him
(seriously though
)I don't live in the UK. Oops

You should be willing to move for just one week to buy it
Posted by: Mackenzie 8th January 2016, 12:50 PM
Nostalgia is 100% my favourite soo far! plus she liked my tweet yesterday so I'm stanning so hard for this girl right now ...she reminds me of Nicola Roberts in the sense that she may not obtain commercial success but from the articles/reviews I've read so far she has certainly been perceived well and praised for her solo stuff, is it bad this is the most I've enjoyed the sats (although they're apart) since What About Us (2013)...
Posted by: (Zach) 13th January 2016, 02:19 AM
Was watching the video for Lush Life by Zara Larsson and an ad for the Nostalgia video came up. Very shocked/happy to see that, but dead at the typo. Mess

Top 100
On indie / independent chart x
Posted by: Juliano 13th January 2016, 04:30 PM
I could see her being the british Ariana... What she needs for a full album is a bit Problem esque song, then she could plug an album full of this sexy urban sound and second single like Love Me Harder.
Posted by: Jimmy Jam 10th February 2016, 05:57 PM
Just watched Ness's live stream, appaz she's taking this on tour, plus a cover of a song which she's working on tomorrow
Posted by: April 10th February 2016, 05:59 PM
When is this released?
Posted by: Jimmy Jam 10th February 2016, 06:03 PM
next friday. Poor thing didn't have a clue what date it was going to be released she had to be told
Posted by: LushLifeLee 10th February 2016, 06:10 PM
TOUR?
OMFG. HOWLING.
Posted by: Jimmy Jam 10th February 2016, 06:24 PM
shit, wait. The live stream must have frozen when she was talking about it, because from rewatching, I think it might just be one show. She's announcing next week, so we'll just have to wait and see i guess
Posted by: (Zach) 14th February 2016, 04:28 PM
THIS is more like what she needs to be releasing. It has Vanessa written all over it and is actually very good.
Posted by: Jimmy Jam 14th February 2016, 05:33 PM
I think I actually prefer Vanessa's stuff to that personally but I can definitely hear Vanessa singing it. Maybe I'd like it more with Vanessa's "one of a kind voice"
Posted by: (Zach) 14th February 2016, 07:57 PM
I feel like it's a much better version of Nostalgia, which is arguably her best so far. I think it's the production on her tracks that I don't like.
Posted by: Jimmy Jam 14th February 2016, 08:05 PM
Hmm, on second listen i can definitely hear that, and I think I agree The production is definitely better.
Though Don't Wanna Be Your Lover is the best nessa track imo, I got bored of Nostalgia very quickly.
Posted by: (Zach) 14th February 2016, 08:09 PM
For me DWBYL is definitely a close second. I find Relationship Goals horrendous though.
Posted by: Jimmy Jam 14th February 2016, 08:30 PM
Completely agree. I really tried to like, just for Vanessa, but it was just too much of a stretch
Posted by: JSG 14th February 2016, 08:33 PM
Her music just sounds so Dated. It's like she's went back to the early 2000's for her inspiration and it wouldn't be so bad if it was actually appealing. I do really like all of the songs so far but it's easy to see why the general public wouldn't be into it.
Posted by: Jimmy Jam 14th February 2016, 08:38 PM
In her live stream she sited Janet Jackson, and Tinashe as inspirations or people she likes (among others) Janet and Tinashe wouldn't be seen dead releasing something as dire as relationship goals
Posted by: JSG 14th February 2016, 08:47 PM
Now now.
You can't call it dire when she obviously likes it enough. (you can but shh )
Posted by: Jimmy Jam 14th February 2016, 08:57 PM
I like the others! but fair enough, dire was probs a bit harsh...we'll go with a bit not good 
Posted by: JSG 14th February 2016, 08:58 PM

She's having an EP launch at Cargo
Posted by: ḇlackout 16th February 2016, 08:31 PM
I still think Relationship Goals could've dealt with better production; there is a legit tune hidden beneath all that synth.
Posted by: Davidson 16th February 2016, 08:46 PM
i actually really love nostalgia
very kelela if only she toned down the vocals a tad. could do with a little more melody but the production more than makes up for that
Posted by: Hurricane 19th February 2016, 02:06 PM
So the EP is out.
Lipstick Kisses is nice enough.
Posted by: Totto 19th February 2016, 05:09 PM
Oh my god this is out, I need to chill and need to get Lipstick something.
Posted by: Steve D 19th February 2016, 05:13 PM
Love hearing DWBYL at work (H&M) we are also playing Relationship Goals. So she's getting regular plays all over the UK.
Posted by: Totto 19th February 2016, 05:17 PM
I want to make my album complete, but it's not available to purchase at the moment regarding "making some adjustments".
Can I wait I little bit more, I don't know,
Yass get it Nessa.
Posted by: JSG 19th February 2016, 05:32 PM
Lipstick kisses is so f***ing SMOOTH!!
Posted by: ThePensmith 19th February 2016, 07:33 PM
Downloaded my pre-order and have had this on repeat for most of today...very far removed from what the girls do but I like it! I love the early 00s R&B feel to it, it's very Vanessa and she sounds amazing on it. 'Nostalgia' is probably my favourite of the tracks and the obvious single of the four.
Posted by: Jimmy Jam 19th February 2016, 08:03 PM
For me I'm sticking by Don't Wanna Be Your Lover, I'm really growing to love it. And I echo the love for Lipstick Kisses, it's pretty damn good.
Posted by: Totto 19th February 2016, 08:30 PM
Still can't purchase it, gosh. I want to listened to Lipstick something for the first on Itunes, no where else.
Posted by: Hurricane 20th February 2016, 01:21 AM
Absolutely great interview in PRESSPLAY.QUOTEIn our previous encounters with http://'http://pressplayok.com/blog/2013/10/11/review-saturdays-living-weekend/', we’d always built up this impression of http://'http://pressplayok.com/blog/2016/01/07/vanessa-white-nostalgia/' being the quietest of the lot. And who can blame us, or her? The youngest in a group of five boisterous pop favourites is always bound to be overshadowed by a louder voice.
So it surprises us to see an assured and erudite White when we meet her one evening in Soho, ahead of the release of her Chapter One EP (which includes a brand new track with Wretch 32, below). She may have been forged from a girl group but seems free of its trappings – rather than toe an expected line, she’s delivering sensual R&B jams that could match any international rival. More to the point, it becomes very clear that she’s just as big a fan of listening to new music as she is making it – in fact, we catch her mid-flow singing the praises of http://'http://pressplayok.com/blog/2016/01/19/tinashe-energy-feat-juicy-j/'as we sit down for a chat…
Tinashe is kind of the vibe we’re getting from your new stuff. Is that more of what you’re listening to these days?
It’s kind of what I’ve been listening to my whole life really. Even on the tour bus with The Saturdays! Ever since we had this break I’ve been exploring this kind of style.
Now you say “break”. Mollie’s doing her own thing, Una and Frankie have got their kids, Rochelle is busy presenting…
Everyone’s just so busy! But I think we needed a break – this would have been the ninth year, and doing anything for nine years would need a break. We just need time to breathe and do our own stuff. There’s been a lot of speculation, but we haven’t split at all. We just don’t know when we’re gonna do stuff. It will happen at some point, I just don’t know when!
Just so long as it’s not a complete end. Our hearts couldn’t take it – we’re big fans of The Sats here. Are you all still in touch then?
Still in touch, still on the group chat…
There’s a group chat? Imagine someone getting their hands on that…
No! Everything is on the group chat!
What do the girls think of your solo stuff?
They like it! They’re always messaging me saying it’s so nice – because obviously they know how obsessed I am with all of this anyway. So they’ve been really supportive.
We were surprised that you were first out of the blocks. In all our previous encounters we just thought you were the quiet one…
No, totally. I used to be really quiet – now you can’t shut me up! There are times when I can take a step back, but being with five girls sometimes… there’s just too much going on. Everyone wants to say something and sometimes it’s nice to just chill.
With the solo work, you started with Relationship Goals and Don’t Wanna Be Your Lover. The vibe is a lot different to the Saturdays stuff. Where does that inspiration come from?
It really makes me laugh because when we started with these songs, the titles were a bit like I’m covering all bases! They’re things that I’ve been through, and a lot of women have as well.
In terms of people you’re working with, have you kept it here or are you heading to the States?
You know what, I’ve kept it here. I will go over there at some point this year, but I made a conscious decision that this is where I’m from, this is where it’s at. I don’t wanna go down the whole American R&B route. I wanna keep it as British as possible.
What was the US like for you, especially as you did your E! reality series out there?
I have a love-hate relationship with LA. At the moment I love it, but I think back then I didn’t love it as much. It made me realise how much a London girl I was. I was very homesick.
Right then. Let’s sod everything else and talk about Vanessa and what she’s into.
I like the sound of that! So last night I got obsessed with the new Tinashe song that she dropped while I was in my bed. Also I’ve been obsessed with this guy Anderson Paak. I can’t stop listening to his album. And then while I was listening to Tinashe, another one of his tracks dropped and I was like “f*** yes!”; other than that, Kehlani obviously.
See, now you’ve said you listen to all of this stuff, we really can’t imagine you listening to The Saturdays…
(Laughs) Well… no. I don’t really know what to say! Obviously I really enjoy Sats stuff, but this is my personal taste. When you’re in a group, that was your thing even though you all had your own individual taste.
Well, Zayn Malik recently said that he never really wanted to be in 1D, but joined because the opportunity was there. You were very young when you joined; did you have the same sort of feeling, especially as his music is a similar R&B vein?
When I was younger I just knew I wanted to sing. At that point in my life I was 17, I was doing every single audition going. I saw labels so many times, and this was something that just happened. I had no idea it was going to work out the way it did. And I’m so grateful – don’t get me wrong – but this was always my goal. I’m happy.
We’re glad you said that, because anyone who doesn’t like All Fired Up is no friend of ours.
No no, still the biggest fan of All Fired Up. Let’s not get it twisted!
Is it also a case that you’ve lived with these songs for so long now that you’re just a bit, well, sick of them?
I wouldn’t say sick. I really enjoyed doing all of it. It just feels like it’s me now and not having to create something that everyone likes. Which is nice.
You haven’t done a solo live show yet. Would you incorporate a solo Sats song in it?
I don’t think so, no. I’m going to stick to a clean slate. I just think they’re too different.
Well what if someone turns up to one of your gigs and shouts out Sats requests though?
Do you know what, if I’d had a few drinks at that point I probably would!
What about a cover for the live show?
Well, we’ve literally just been thinking about that. If you’ve got any ideas let me know! I would genuinely appreciate that.
We have dozens (which, in fact, we’ve compiled in a Spotify playlist at the bottom of this piece). The thing is, you don’t wanna do the ones that everyone does. Hotline Bling can go f*** itself.
No, no, that’s been done. I heard Dua Lipa did The Weeknd’s song.
He’s a bit overrated though…
I love The Weeknd, but because I was a fan from such an early point. The mixtapes!
You strike us as someone who would release a mixtape though, to be honest.
(Laughs) Yeah! Love a mixtape!
Exactly. This mixtape is fire, plus a fire emoji. Anyway, in terms of the UK scene, who is there that you’re keen to work with?
Oh, Nao. How can I forget her – she’s amazing.
We do cover people like Nao and upcoming R&B female stars on PressPLAY. Do you feel like the weight of the Saturdays holds you back from that sort of ‘cool’ entry?
No. I’m happy about everything that’s happened. When I was doing all of this I was a bit concerned, because obviously it’s a big change and I didn’t know how people were going to respond to that. But so far so good, I’m so happy. I’m very lucky. I wasn’t sure whether Sats fans would get it, but I haven’t had one bad comment from the fans. I think they’ve all just grown up as well. But I wouldn’t change anything.
In terms of the British scene, a lot of our awards seem to be overlooking urban acts like that though. Do you think there’s still a place for R&B from the UK?
A billion, trillion percent. Why not? There’s not enough of us I don’t think. The more the merrier. I think it’s ridiculous – Little Simz is amazing, I’ve seen her live. So it’s wrong. People like this, especially from the UK, need to be recognised. But you know what, it’s going to come back around. I can feel it.
Speaking of things coming back around though: girl groups…
Yes! All Saints are coming back. And I watched the new Little Mix video, which reminded me of the Spice Girls – Goodbye. I tried to be Mel B in the Spice Girls but I never really fit.
There wasn’t an Asian one so we made our own – Tandoori Spice. Anyway, the thing about The Sats that we like is that you didn’t have a Sarah Harding in your group; you could all sing.
Oh stop! (Laughs) Stop it! Don’t do that to me. I can’t even cope. No comment!
But in terms of your style, which of The Sats would suit a collaboration the most?
I’d say Rochelle and I were always into the same music. We were both into our R&B so probably Rochelle. That could happen.
The thing we’ve noticed here today, what with the mention of Tinashe and Little Mix, is that you’re really on top of all this stuff. Do you want to come and write for us?
(Laughs) I love it. I just love it. I just really love watching people’s videos and know what’s going on. But I also still like to listen to the stuff I grew up with, like Musiq Soulchild, Jill Scott, that’s what I was listening to when I was younger and I always go back to them.
So the future for Vanessa then. You’ve done one EP, what’s next?
Well, I called it Chapter One for a reason. I’m actually going to get to Chapter Two! These four songs fit together for the first one, but I feel Chapter Two will be slightly more uptempo and a selection of songs which will all fit together in that department. Something you play in the club.
What’s the status with the labels at the moment?
I’m literally going in and seeing what I like and what I don’t like. I’m starting from the bottom and actually really enjoying it.
Final question, the one we ask everyone. Favourite Beyonce song.
I’ve got too many! This one was recent, and it’ll always be my song. (Starts singing) What’s that one called? Party! Great song. But the one I like was previously on a Destiny’s Child album – Dangerously In Love – and then she released it on her own. That one.
Maybe that should be your cover.
I’m not covering a Beyonce song! No way!

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 20th February 2016, 01:51 AM
Great interview! Lots of parts I loved. Loved all the sats love, obviously, and loved that she'd collab with rochelle; make it happen!!!! But mainly it was just nice to see her talking about her, and what she intends to do. Chapter 2 sounds like it's gonna be good, if it's more uptempo (even though I've grown a whole new love for the songs on chapter 1 after hearing them as a set)
Saying she would only do a sats song drunk, made me laugh
Also the Sarah Harding shade!!! Gurl!
Posted by: Hurricane 20th February 2016, 03:39 AM
I'm quite shocked to be honest about that part!
Although I won't spit on the Saturdays praise. "You can all sing", meaning they meant Mollie and Frankie too, yay.
Posted by: Jimmy Jam 20th February 2016, 05:13 AM
Yes exactly! I was so surprised they suggested Sarah was the one that couldn't sing! After Nicola, she actually has my favourite voice (along with Nadine). But whatever
Definitely nice to hear the praise for all the sats, and tbf they can all sing! Mollie and Frankie maybe can't hit the big notes that the others can, but in their comfort zones, they're amazing! One of the many highlights I have from seeing the sats live was seeing Mollie slay in Disco Love/Hit Me Baby One More Time
Posted by: Hurricane 20th February 2016, 06:17 AM
I did a bit of digging on songwriting databases and I found some stuff.
'Nostalgia' was in fact the Eriksen track she talked about a few months back. Shame, I was expecting a pop number from Eriksen.
The other new song titles are : "Be Your Fantasy", "Forget to Breath", "Heart On The Line" are from her sessions with Tre Jean Marie. Then, you have "Love Me" and also "Oh Boy" (a Chelcee Grimes track).
EDIT: Also "Body 2 Body", "Out My System" and "When You're Mine".
Posted by: JSG 26th February 2016, 06:44 PM
This should be the official version of Nostalgia holy f***!
Posted by: Hurricane 26th February 2016, 11:53 PM
That's legit amazing.
Posted by: (Zach) 27th February 2016, 12:25 AM
That version is so much better!!
Posted by: JSG 27th February 2016, 07:19 AM
It's a very trendy Remix and would totally have fitted in with today's chart. This Remix could be quite high if it was given a push. Maybe feature Someone else that's really famous.
Posted by: Hurricane 27th February 2016, 09:59 PM
Seriously the worst part of 'Nostalgia' is the shitty and lazy chorus, so to have this amazing breakdown a bit after it is the perfect idea.
I seriously can't stop bopping!

I do very much like this EP, but it saddens me to hear Vanessa singing 80% of it in falsetto. Although I attribute that to the style of the music for which that register compliments it.
I must be the only one that loves Relationship Goals; I love the bridge - nicely written and fiercely delivered.

It bothers me a bit as well, babe.
I think, even beyond the genre, I doubt it helps that she has pretty much co-written everything until now, meaning she is tailoring these songs to her voice - which technically is a GOOD thing, don't get me wrong, but with how anxious Vanessa can be about her voice, you just know she's keeping it too easy on herself, she's not pushing the boundaries and she's choosing the easy path. If she were to record something she didn't write, I'm sure the producers would push her out of her falsetto and she wouldn't have much to say.
I do like 'Relationship Goals' as well. I just think everything is a bit forgettable, that included. I love the ad-libs at the end, though. Really lush!

'Lipstick Kisses' is Radio Xtra track of the week. It wont have much of an impact but at least she's getting some support, I wonder where things will go for Vanessa from here now?

Really love that video! Looked a little low budg in places (think I saw a floppy disc at one point ) but as a whole, definitely the best one yet!
Also, good for her getting some promo, that's good to hear, slay Nessa

She's got other EPs in mind so I'm guessing she will keep on providing stuff everynow and then.

Keep doing what you love Vanessa.

Another song has come out.
Posted by: Hurricane 11th March 2016, 02:10 AM
It's a mash-up of 1998 Swing My Way by K.P. & Envy and Bryson Tiller's Exchange, but it's nice still.
Great to hear her belt lines again.

Her material makes DLMDA seem as good as Not Giving Up.
Posted by: Jimmy Jam 11th March 2016, 05:12 AM
On first listen, I'm glad it wasn't on the EP, because I ain't feeling it. Not bad, but think may need to give it a few listens to appreciate it.
Also please no. The fact that I had to live through DLMDA once is enough thank you.

Some of you need to find your wigs first.

So glad someone else here doesn't rate DLMDA!

Literally one of the worst songs they've ever done
Posted by: Joe. 14th March 2016, 10:50 AM
It's f***ing awful, like 50% of that album.
Posted by: SeanGrey 15th March 2016, 09:33 AM
Agreed - then again, The Jam are shocking
Posted by: Totto 17th March 2016, 10:58 AM
Roch, Mollie and Francesca were at Nessa's first show.
Posted by: Joe. 17th March 2016, 11:05 AM
Who were the other 6 people?
Posted by: FührerWall 17th March 2016, 11:12 AM
I'm sure it was basically a sell out
omg at how drunk Frankie, Mollie & Vanessa were.

I mean she killed it. She did forget her words in Exchange, but she was cute about it.

bitch needed to perform a saturdays track
Posted by: (Zach) 17th March 2016, 11:52 PM
It's so nice to see (almost) all of them together again. But it also makes me sad at the same time. It's a shame that this is the first time more than three of them have been together in a year and a half and this just made me miss them more than anything!
Posted by: Joe. 18th March 2016, 10:03 AM
At least they do actually like each other though, even though we probably won't get music from them as a whole, it makes it a lot more likely that they'll maybe do something together in the years to come, a gig or something.
In contrast, Girls Aloud make it so obvious that Cheryl/Nicola/Kimberley have pretty strong dislike for the other two, particularly Nadine.

Frankie kinda looks a bit basic here...
I didn't mind the long hair, but she almost looks like a fangirl who took a picture with a 3-piece-girlgroup. She's gorgeous as always, don't get me wrong, just... not as a popstar-ish I guess.
I get the feeling of literally needing to change your hair every year so it's not like I hold it against her, but I can only hope she brings the shortcut in a year or two when she gets bored of her long hair.

I guess I'm the only one that didn't really like the catsuit Nessy wore during her first gig, but it was fierce - I've gotta admit that.

In comparison to Sarah Harding who released before Vanessa, Threads is 4k less than that!

'Don't Wanne Be Your Lover' had some promo on Youtube so I'm not that surprised. Although, I'm confused to why it got some (hell, it even had the most decent video out of the 4 songs) considering it was never promoted/branded as a single, like ever.
