New Girls Aloud

The new album is out!! I'm so happy! The songs I've heard are very good, but I don't know if it will match the near masterpiece status of last year's Tangled Up. I 'm loving the song the Pet Shop Boys contributed to the album. It's called The Loving Kind and it is honestly, one of the most beautiful and sad songs of the year. The first time I heard it, I loved it. It's similar to last year's Call the Shots, but I think it's better. I love the part after the first chorus when Nicola Roberts, the fragile voiced singer of the group (center in the picture above) sings "I'd do anything sing songs that lovers sing if I could change your mind am I not the loving kind" She sings it with so much sadness and heart; it's beautiful. Then, the song slows down and goes into this equally sad part about a train station and a crowded platform: "Somewhere on a Monday morning in the rush hour of another day standing on a crowded platform carelessly we lost our way". Amazing lyrics. The transitions in this song are seamless and it's a very subtle song as well. I love after they sing "disinclined" in the chorus how there's the subtle "ah ah ah ah" in the background. This song sounds shiny, metallic, and sophisticated. So pretty.
