Maybe 'Promise Me' is another Xenomania track?

 

 

Could be! Get Ready, Get Set and For Myself were the only tracks we weren't aware of who produced them, and then we found out Get Ready, Get Set was an Xenomania production so perhaps For Myself is too!

This album does sound massive, I do hope we see 5+ singles released from the album though.
I think 'Faster' is my favourite clip... nothing has disappointed me though, it's all sounding strong. :D
For Myself sounds good on first listen, so is probably gonna be amazing with the full track and a few more listens! :)
this album is going to be so amazing, not one of these clips has bored me.
Definitely shaping up to be a fantastic album! Can't wait for the full 'Get Ready, Get Set'.

Nothing :yahoo:

 

I think they got the singles wrong though. Why would you put two very dance orientated tracks as singles when it's not even a decent enough representation of the album? It's just not logical. The only reason I can think of that they put 'Notorious' and 'All Fired Up' as the first singles is that they knew they'd sell just because dance is popular at the moment. They're banking on 'My Heart Takes Over' to sell the album and right now it's not cutting it, it's way too risky. 3 weeks on the Radio 1 C-List? Not a peep on the Radio Airplay chart either. Good to see it in the Video Airplay though. The video's stunning.

 

'The Way You Watch Me' should have been the first single, and they should have released it June/July when the whole 'on air/on sale' phase had dropped dead. It would have been a brilliant 'comeback' single, not just because of it's feature 'vocalist' but because of it's summer vibe; Notorious lacked that. Either 'Faster' or one of the ballads should have followed before the release of the album. Both tracks give such a huge foundation for the album to launch off because they capture more personality and their sound, if you get me. Notorious and All Fired Up could have been anyone's song, both are just some faceless yet amazing dance tracks which for an act like The Saturdays (who aren't huge album sellers) is dangerous.

 

Edit: MYTO up to B-list sorry. Read that it was still on the C-List somewhere!

'Move On U' preview is up! Produced by The Alias(?) - they did Not That Kinda Girl and Ladykiller didn't they? I think they did but not too sure.. Nice pop/dance track. Reminds me of some of the tracks on Girls Aloud's Tangled Up a little.

Sounds better than you might expect a bonus track to be. To be honest I haven't enjoyed the previews of the more traditional ballads (Last Call and Wish I Didn't Know) and would happily have sacrificed them for these bonus tracks to be on the main edition and make it a wall to wall clubby album.

 

The bridge of I Say OK might actually be my favourite part of any preview we've heard.

 

I really love the intro to 'Do What You Want With Me', for me it sounds like one of the best.
I'm glad more people are liking 'DWYWWM'! My faith in the saturday's fans taste in music has been restored loool

Do What You Want With Me is my favorite clip.

 

It's completely fresh and it's got something very Saturdays about the vocals, with exciting production. The only thing that bugs me is that this track is just made for a huge belter of a chorus (I'm looking at you Vanessa) but since her skills are a bit urm limited now, they've just layered her falsetto vocal to make it sound really full. But still this makes it more interesting.

I think her singing the falsetto and then emphasizing the "Do what you want with me" in chest voice is what makes the chorus as hooky and dynamic as it is. If it was belting from start to finish I think it will become tiring and less endearing. Depends on what you prefer I guess.

Exactly, it makes it such a more interesting vocal arrangement. However, the notes she's hitting for the line "do what you want with me" aren't really in her range to do it in her chest voice now, so live I think she's gonna sound a bit of a mess. Of course in the studio and what not they can tweak it.

 

Similar situation with My Heart Takes Over, she appears to do the big notes and adlibs at ease on the record, but the performance they did on the Oxford Lights the other day she did most of it in falsetto because she just simply can't do it without straining her voice. If she can't pull it off in front of an audience then don't record it that way. It'd boost the morale of their performances that's for sure.

 

I can't imagine how it feels to have recorded such a strong vocal, then to go out and perform it live in falsetto. It's gonna knock your confidence big time. It feels like their 'team' aren't really accommodating her vocal issue and they're just plodding along putting the vocal issue on the back burner and carrying on as usual.

im pretty sure that by Monday the pre-order will up on iTunes as all the clips should be unlocked by then!
