The Sound Radar Music reviews, news and previews

British pop girl-group The Saturdays unveiled their latest music video this weekend for the new single, Missing You. This is the lead single from their third album, Headlines, which is due for release in August and available for pre-order now.

After a bit of a rocky second album campaign with Wordshaker, the girls are hoping to re-launch themselves off the back of a new album and a fresh set of tracks. The tracklist for the new album is yet to be revealed, but it is rumoured to contain previous singles Forever Is Over and Ego, but with Wordshaker containing some brilliant pop gems, I'm hoping they aren't trying to wipe the album from their memories.

So, the new track itself is quite summery, borders on ballad / mid tempo stomper, and is actually a little trancey and euphoric in some places. I do feel the track needs something more though, it feels like an element is missing. Maybe a memorable middle-eight or a beefed up chorus will do it, but Missing You is still a decent track and will hopefully do well for the girls.

The video, however, is a bit lacklustre no matter how summery it may be. The dance routine seems a little clunky for a track with this sound and the beach shots of the girls look like a Thomas Cook advert with a slightly higher budget. They all look lovely though, so well done them at least!

Here's the video to judge for yourself...
