Chasing Lights - The Saturdays

Girl group, The Saturdays just seemed to arrive on the scene unannounced. Two of the girls had previously been in the mini S Club group S Club 8 but otherwise they just seemed to appear from nowhere. Although they were formed in 2007, chart success didn't arrive until 2008 when their debut single, If This is Love made the top ten and the debut album Chasing Lights soon followed. Notably, the girls had supported Girls Aloud on their 2008 tour and it's therefore not surprising that their look, sound and popularity are generally credited to Girls Aloud. Chasing Lights is a pleasant enough debut. In a chart dominated by novelty acts, rock legends and ...  Read the complete review

The girl group is a tried and tested formula for pop music. Results can be mixed - anyone who spent the 90s in Australia will recall a particular horror known as Girlfriend - but the UK currently rejoices in the possession of not one, not two, but three shiny and bouncy girl groups capable of producing damn fine tunes. The most recent addition to the party are The Saturdays, five not remotely ugly young woman with shady pasts in bands such as S Club Juniors. Frankie, Vanessa, Una, Mollie and Rochelle, for it is they, bring you pop in primary colours, big dazzling rainbows of sunshiney splendour in three minute musical form. Their debut album 'Chasing Lights' ...  Read the complete review

I decided to buy this CD as part of the 2 for £10 deal in HMV, alongside another CD which I can't remember the title of now!

Chasing Lights was the debut album from British pop group The Saturdays. It was released in 2008 and was quite the success for them. I've recently got into their music and found that Chasing Lights is an excellent album, filled with fun songs that are good to get you moving, and also have some rather good lyrics that are easy to sing along to. The girls have good vocals and I find that all of the songs are easy to listen to, although a few get a little repetitive. The track listing is: 1. If This Is Love 2. Up 3. Keep Her 4. Issues 5. Lies 6. Work 7. Chasing Lights 8. Set Me Off 9. ...  Read the complete review

On a certain forum I used to post on the hype around The Saturdays was huge and very undeserved from the moment they flashed their glossy outfits to the public. Bearing in mind that large numbers on the very same site treat Britney Spears and Girls Aloud like they're some kind of royalty who change the face of the planet everyday and deserve to be treated as Gods or something... The Saturdays are the latest girl group to explode onto the music scene having landed four top ten singles so far and a gold selling album in the form of the reviewed record here - 'Chasing Lights'. The fact that two of the five girls are S Club Junior cast offs and one of ...  Read the complete review
