Girls Aloud Get Retro At The Drive-In
I kind of wish that the US would embrace the “slightly brassier version of old-school soul” pop aesthetic that is embodied by “The Promise,” the new single from UK girl-group stalwarts Girls Aloud, instead of the bulldozer-like robo-stomps that have been topping our charts for the past too-many months. The shuffly love song brings together old-style pomp-pop and modern attitude, with a string part that sounds like it was tailor-made for soundtracking lots of people twirling around. [Dailymotion]
