Hear’Say - The Way To Your Love

[PopLife]

Never mind “Pure And Simple”, this is Hear’Say’s magnum opus single. Myleene agrees btw. It’s so uplifting and it’s a shame it didn’t happen internationally as I think especially in Sweden or in the Nordics, it could have been huge, this pseudo-Max Martin sound was popular back then. And I know their story ended the way it ended, but having this banger in their back catalogue, they should be proud regardless.

What do you think?

 

[Loufoque]

Nostalgia told me to say 10 but a re-listen tells me it's an 8

 

[VoR]

One of the most Swedish Schlager-coded UK #1s since the mid 80s.

It’s a shame they were an ITV creation. They could have bought an extra 15 minutes by taking this to Eurovision and building a second season of Popstars around that.

 

[VV]

One of the most disappointing follow-up singles ever.

 

[ButterTart]

SO much better than Pure and Simple. The only one of their songs that deserves to be remembered.

 

[ButterTart]

Also, I used to think it was 'from the shadows we fly', and I was a bit disappointed when I found out it wasn't.

 

[lolly]

Meh

 

[Rita]

I don’t think ANY of their singles stand up these days. Pure and Simple is so DRAB.

 

[Dark Carnival]

I only vaguely remember this since indeed it didn’t happen outside of the UK.

Meh.

 

[Halli]

This was decent, nothing more nothing less. How many SINGALS did they release in total? Was it THREE?

 

[Halli]

FOUR The official charts co tells me. I need to remind myself of EVERYBODY and Lovin' is Easy.

Under no circumstances does anyone need to remind themselves of Everybody.

The negative chemistry that Kym and Myleene have in their middle eight bit

Pretty sure I played the quite relentless Almighty mix most back when but I don't think I remember the Metro-esque Jewels and Stone mix:

 

[Inner Smile]

Kym Marsh clearly loves herself. Pure and Simple for me only

 

[Inner Smile]

When she first started in Corrie though she was quite a good character and not a bad actress, i'll give her that

 

[Agneeta]

Kym Marsh clearly loves herself

Does she?

 

[Inner Smile]

Does she?

Of course she does

 

[lolly]

Good for her!

 

[Agneeta]

Of course she does

I was hoping you'd provide evidence.

I actually have both the albums & liked all the singles. I preferred the the 5ive sounding Everybody to 5's song. Perhaps it was cos it featured women lol. Lovin' Is Easy was my fave. The supossed follow which was given to Girls Aloud was AWFUL.

What was the follow up to Lovin is Easy supposed to be?

 

[PopLife]

Was it this one?

Christ. Reminds me of this classic:

Waiting 25 years for the Almighty Remix I once heard, probably in G.A.Y and honestly it's a bit basic.

 

[Agneeta]

Much like Hear'say themselves.
