First off, how absolutely gorgeous is the promotional photoshoot for The Saturdays' new TV show?! WOW! Talk about hot!
Anyways, speaking of their new TV show, it starts on Channel 4 on the 14th May at 10am - so make sure you're up bright and early to catch those lovely Saturday Girls (and yes, May the 14th is actually a Saturday - themed TV scheduling right there for you).
The first episode features Rochelle chatting about tour rehearsals. If this new series is as good as 24/7 was, we're in for a right treat!
With new track Glorious, The Pierces confirm their place as having one of the most brilliant run of singles in recent years. First Love You More, then You'll Be Mine... Glorious makes it a hat-trick. With a chorus of "God bless the world, it's so glorious", the track is suitably uplifting and sisters Allison and Catherine carry the whole thing off with ease.
The duo have a real knack of striking the precise balance between up-tempo toe-tapper and gentle balladic beauty. In the sweeping guitar licks and swelling string sections, we feel as if we are rushing across the plains of America to the girls' homeland. "It got so lonely when you turned away," they sing, but we are only left wondering at how anyone could turn away from a song as lovely and enchanting as this.
The Sun has the exclusive premiere of the track's video and even this seems imbued with this hazy sense of forgotten years that The Pierces have come to capture in their sound. There's pretty retro dresses, filmic sepia-toned touches and shots of packed music halls. In this track comes an intense rush of emotion, as with their previous singles, The Pierces have this mastery of hitting exactly the right spot to send shivers of delight and reverence down you. It's in the beautiful harmonies, it's in the twinkling guitar and percussion. Truly Glorious.
We previously posted about all the exciting stuff we had heard so far about the new Saturdays single (which may or may not be called Notorious), and today DJs Alex & Lucy from In:Demand tweeted about the track:
"Just heard the brand new single from @TheSaturdays....it's totally different to anything you've heard from them before - & it's BRILLIANT! Think it'll go to radio middle of May! Not allowed to say the name of it though!"
All very exciting! We're guessing from this the single will be released some time around late May/early June then, perfect for our summer iPod playlists!
