“RideOrDie on ATRL, who is reliable with release dates, has said "Sound of the Underground (Alternative Vocal Mix)" is out April 20”

Is there any sign of it on Australia/New Zealand iTunes?

I checked at 3pm and no sign.

Yep. It's not on iTunes in New Zealand.

 

So it was either fake news or it's a UK & Ireland release only.

Looks like it's coming at some point today, because it's showing up on this Japanese website: https://ototoy.jp/_/default/p/1626126

I've never seen the artwork in such high quality before: https://imgs.ototoy.jp/imgs/jacket/1626/000...28.7907orig.jpg which bodes well if a vinyl is coming! The fact that this release is using the album artwork does suggest that something album related is coming. Exciting :w00t:

This roll out has been quite chaotic - this mix was made available on Spotify UK, presumably at midnight - I streamed it in the early hours. But it's now become unavailable to listen to :lol:
How strange! Maybe it's meant to be released tonight? I too gave it a listen last night and it sounded even better than when I listened to it last year. I think the first time it was a little odd hearing a song I've heard so many times sang with different vocals to what I'm used to (it's like when I listened to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' demo titled 'Starlight', you feel like you're in a parallel universe! :lol:); this time around, it felt really fresh and exciting. It's nice hearing the other girls get more of a look in, particularly Nicola who only gets one line in the official version!

^ Alternative Vocal Mix is now back on Spotify :D

 

Another surprise today, Sound of the Underground music video in glorious 4K!

 

 

and this is not an AI upscale, this is the real deal, going back to the original film :w00t:

How do you know?

Going to watch the 4k video now! *.* 'No Good Advice' appeared on the recommended and has a new video image too in the same vein as 'Sound of the Underground', although when you click the video it isn't in 4k. Maybe it will be soon though?

Yeah! It's not officially confirmed, but it's way too detailed and vibrant looking for it to have been done artificially with a lowish quality source.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Chris Fox has worked on this (who did the Steps remasters), but there's no confirmation of that yet though so I could be wrong. The advert looks very much like his sort of work though - https://www.instagram.com/p/CriKo9roz5R/

I still can’t get over how fantastic the Sound of the Underground music video looks now :wub:

I never noticed that before! :lol: I wonder if it's something about her accent that she actually does close her mouth to pronounce "sound" :thinking:

Oh my goodness, this is very exciting to me!!

 

 

The fact that the girls mimed along to lines that didn’t end up being theirs seems to prove that when they shot the video, they had no idea who was going to sing what.

 

Looks like they’re following the Steps model from last year, in terms of giving us extra bonuses alongside the upgrading of the official videos. I love that this is happening. :wub:
