Ballads were seldom Girls Aloud’s forte – they were better at songs with bolshie attitudes, which seemed to suit their personalities – but No Regrets is the exception that proves the rule, dispensing with the usual pop-ballad cliches in favour of a tinny vintage drum machine, a French chanson-inspired melody and I Will Survive strings.
The irony of Girls Aloud’s career is that it flourished because – the band members suggested – their managers weren’t interested. Happier working with boybands, they let adventurous production team Xenomania do what they wanted, hence tracks like this, built around country-ish acoustic guitar that builds into something like hard rock overlaid with ...
It says something about how big Girls Aloud were that Long Hot Summer was considered a flop because it only reached No 7, breaking a run of eight Top 5 hits. It’s hard to see what the problem was: its characteristic blend of dance beats, noisy guitar and electronics clicks perfectly and the song itself is pop heaven.
Originally written for the Pet Shop Boys’ Xenomania-produced album Yes, The Loving Kind neatly performs Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe’s patent trick of taking a lushly melancholy tune that should theoretically belong to a ballad and dragging it to the dancefloor.
Improbably, Girls Aloud’s third album, Chemistry, felt almost conceptual, wittily depicting an aspect of 00s pop culture guaranteed to be swept under the carpet when 00s nostalgia kicks in: the grotty vacuous “glamour” of Heat magazine, reality TV and low-rent lad mags Nuts and Zoo. The dead-eyed chorus and jerky new wave-inspired sound of Models c...
A Saint Etienne-esque diversion into 60s pop – there’s a distinct hint of Petula Clark’s Downtown about the melody – that quickly abandons the business of verses after its opening 60 seconds, essentially devolving into one long chorus for the remaining three minutes. Intriguingly pugilistic lyrics, too, their ire aimed at a mysterious “New York not...
A B-side that sounds like it should have been on Chemistry, Hoxton Heroes is a fabulously bitchy assault on the mid-00s trilby-clad “indie clones” that followed in the Libertines’ wake: “You said you played at Reading then you chart at 57,” they snap, fabulously, over a tumult of distorted guitars.
A gloriously dumb four-note garage rock riff – the fuzz pedal and the flanger cranked up to 10 – over a banging house beat and Blue Monday-ish electronic bass line, lyrics depicting a booze-fuelled romance and sung as if Girls Aloud know of what they speak: Wake Me Up is an almost indecent amount of fun.
The experimentation found on Chemistry and Tangled Up was largely absent from Girls Aloud’s final album, Out of Control, but there was a hint of it about Untouchable, which stretches a fantastic song out for nearly seven minutes, has an intro that sounds like Moby’s rave anthem Go and once again bears the influence of New Order.
The last really WTF?-sounding Girls Aloud single – a broiling, warp-speed stew of distorted guitar, Auto-Tuned vocals (more of a novelty then than now), and a sample from, of all things, Hair of the Dogby hoary 70s rockers Nazareth. In truth, there isn’t much of a tune, but it fades out before you notice.
One of the most successful British girl groups of the 21st century, Girls Aloud were formed on the ITV reality series Popstars: The Rivals in 2002. Consisting of Nadine Coyle.
