Mollie King - Hair Down

[dUb]

Getting another shot...

 

[Jark]

That's a great cover. With the Nadine COMEBACK on the cards too, I can't work out if Xenomania are doing failed former girl group stars a favour or VICE VERSA.

 

[Suomi]

Oh god if Popjustice do a numbered segment on how the song is amazing just based on that single cover alone then shoot me now.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Today's biggest pop news

 

[monsta]

Hair Down is a BANGER.

Literally a lost GA track.

 

[Penelope]

New topic please

 

[FetchFugly]

From the clip at least this sounds like it has some life about it, unlike her last effort. It would be nice if she can get an album out on the back of Strictly with a few more Xenomania selections for old times' sake.

 

[SDF]

Just listening to this now

That intro

 

[Dark Carnival]

WHERE?

 

[Kala]

 

[Kala]

Oh and this is obviously TREMENDOUS

 

[Jark]

This is the most depressing slice of shit I've heard all year. What the fuck happened to Xenomania?

Biology.
Sexy! No No No.
Call The Shots.

... Hair Down.

FLUSH

 

[AGinAg (37)]

A delightful throwback to happier times!

 

[lolly]

I like it, but it sounds more like it was written for a TV ad campaign rather than as a single.

FLUSH

If this is the most depressing thing you have heard of all year when the charts are in a fucking state you need a hearing test.

 

[monsta]

Cannot believe the Power of MOLLEGEND has united Kala and I in agreement.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

QUOLLIE

 

[Dark Carnival]

This is no Back To You. But then WHAT IS?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Sounds like something Fleur East would come back with.

 

[Penelope]

Jark still DEAF THEN

LOVE this

 

[lolly]

Sounds like something Fleur East would come back with.

In terms of being pretty much exactly what she LEFT with, yes.

 

[Slave]

I'm not feeling it as much as I'd wanted to.

All hopes pinned on Nadine now.

 

[VoR]

It's a miss for me. Sounds more like Xenomania tossing off a Saturdays b-side than a Girls Aloud classic.

 

[lolly]

Her hair does look nice though.

 

[lolly]

Can someone poll this up please?

 

[Steptacular]

FABULOUS

The Boy Does Nothing fucked The Show and it gave birth to this.

 

[Jark]

If this is the most depressing thing you have heard of all year when the charts are in a fucking state you need a hearing test.

IT'S AWFUL. Hardly a surprise that you're losing your shit over it though, let's be real. It's MADE for basic gays.

OH the IRONY!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This is so so good!!

 

[Penelope]

OH the IRONY!

Jark is MANY THINGS but in her defence - HARDLY!

I mean would you call the HINDENBURG DISASTER BASIC?

 

[GNL]

The song is a bit much, and Mollie isn't enough. It's a no from me.

 

[Steptacular]

It's all about:

Don't call, I'm not home
Somebody's got to run the show
Caller busy tone
I'll be the one to let you know

 

[COB]

The song is a bit much, and Mollie isn't enough. It's a no from me.

Yeah, I think this is how I feel too - it feels like an upbeat GA album track with a solo 'Kimba' vocal.

 

[ameraal]

there is[/caps] something about it but the droney bit goes on and she's nowhere interesting enough to keep you looking.

 

[Finn]

I quite like this. A basic banger for my running playlist is the most I could realistically hope for from a Mollie King solo single, and it definitely delivers that

That said, I do think her bland her vocal perf makes it shitter than it otherwise could be. I mean, imagine it divided up between all five of Girls Aloud (ideally in the Nadine-sings-80%-of-everything days )

 

[lolly]

Nocally she does give me Geri vibes

 

[FetchFugly]

Nocally she does give me Geri vibes

Oh yes. It is almost as if Geri was in the booth for the barber shop quartet line.

 

[jivafox]

Nocally she does give me Geri vibes

Same here. This sounds like something off Passion.

 

[Halli]

Geri has that Sade-eque richness in her vox tho?

This is pretty SHIT. I was expecting to like it from the descriptions

 

[BoysForSeles]

Wanted to like this but didn't. Doesn't really take off at any point. She seems like a lovely person but as a performer she has even less presence than solo Louise or Emma Bunton.
