The Girls at their poptastic best - another pure winner! March 17, 2008

Barcode: 0602517627208
Full of funky guitar, Can't Speak French is the 3rd single from the Girls' simply amazing album - Tangled Up. The album was clearly one of the best of 2007 and with all the critics proclaiming this song as yet another pop classic in the making for the Girls, you could totally see why they went with it for a single.
It's infectious, very radio-friendly and plus, how could you not fall in love with a song where the first line is 'i wait underneath the covers all night beside you' - Nadine once again delivers a flawless vocal performance and by the time the chorus kicks in with all the Girls, you find yourself, as with all of their singles, totally addicted.
For fans however, the tue highlight of this cd has to be the b-side though. The now infamous track - Hoxton Heroes, written by the Girls themselves - sees them taking a dig at the current UK indie scene and the result is yet another amazing b-side from them.
Presenting them at their most 'punk', distorted vocals and a spellbinding chorus of 'Just Cos your dad knew the Rolling Stones, you've got the Primrose set in your cell-phone, don't kid yourself, you're an indie clone' it presents the classic Girls Aloud/Xenomania quirky lyrics coming up trumps again. A true winner of a track, combined with Can't Speak French, makes this single well worth getting your hands on.

Whilst Welsh songstress Duffy tries to make a stab of being a 60's songstress a la Sandie Shaw or Dusty Springfield, Cheryl, Nadine and co win the race by miles with the release of single #3 from the "Tangled Up" album. Their 18th single, "Can't Speak French" sounded like a risky choice of single when the album came out back in November.
But now that the track has been given an all important single mix by Jeremy Wheatley (Rachel Stevens, Lemar, Madonna), it does actually sound a lot more commercially promising. The updated additional drums and twirly synths on the track don't take away too much from the original's shuffly, seductive Burt Bacarach stylings.
The video, in which they gatecrash a tea party in Marie Antoinette wigs and bodices is one of their most fun and colourful since Love Machine. It therefore wouldn't be too risky to suggest this one placing them inside the Top 10 once again when it comes out later next month.
a strange choice for a single..or is it! February 23, 2008

the girls latest album is packed full of sure fire power hits and this track was more of a novelty than a great track!
having said that its very catchy and one listen and the chorus gets into your head!
its more "long hot summer" than "sexy no no" still the girls are hotter than ever and no doubt it will be a hit..its just a bit too pop and a bit low on attitude.
