Notes on the new Girls Aloud single, ‘Call The Shots’.
:: It is a very good pop song, nothing more, nothing less.
:: It sounds like the girls sashaying their way through the last Sophie Ellis Bextor album.
:: Which is obviously a very good thing.
:: It features a bit where you think there is going to be a Bono-esque lyric about famine, but it turns out to be the “hunger in my heart” that is on Nadine’s mind.
:: (This must be a metaphor because you don’t feed hearts).
:: Compared to the panting, red-faced onslaughts of previous Girls Aloud singles like ‘Sexy! No No No‘, ‘Call The Shots’ sounds like a chillout track.
:: In other words, it’s a mid-tempo disco number.
:: In true Girls Aloud style, it’s got a low-budget video that looks like a catalogue shoot:
Hurrah!
4/5
