Soundgirl - I'm The Fool

I'm The Fool is a relentless, full on energy rush. The debut single from new British girlband trio Soundgirl, it's a feisty, catchy-as-hell pop track with a razor sharp urban edge. There's something of an early Sugababes to the band, they carry that same effortless attitude and swagger. But Soundgirl's sound is distinctly 'now'. Touching on some of the sounds being pushed across the Atlantic by the best in American Hip-Hop and R&B, the mechanical beats and auto-tuned male backing vocals mark I'm The Fool out from the crowd. It's the super-cool kid at school that everyone wanted to know.

Fresh from supporting Pixie Lott on tour, Soundgirl front up that same accessibility that made Miss Lott such a hit. The infectious-ness of tracks like Boys And Girls, it's all present in I'm The Fool too. And you'd expect that too, coming from such songwriting royalty as Miranda Cooper, the woman behind some of the best pop tracks of the last ten years. Kylie's Giving You Up... The Sugababes Red Dress... pretty much the entirety of Girls Aloud's back catalogue... When it comes to pop music, you can't get much better than that. Cooper is the hottest ticket in town when it comes to songwriting and he stamp is all over I'm The Fool, it's one of those songs that make sure you won't forget them; radio-perfect melodies and vocals, but with a real credibility and staying power. Soundgirl represent something new and exciting, and if this is the start, we can't wait to hear what they do next.

I'm The Fool is released 18th April.
