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

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

My taste in music is very mixed, I put a radio station on or a music channel on sky and won't have that urge to flick but rather enjoy what comes next. There I was sat as a passanger in my best friends car the other day and whilst she ran back to the house to get something, she left me with the sound of the Saturdays album, Chasing Lights, once home I was still humming away a couple of the album tracks and it was there and then that I placed my order with Amazon and purchased myself a new CD for the fab price of £8.98, so here re my views on the CD... The saturdays are a 5 piece of pure pop. 2 memebers (Frankie and Rochelle) are from the former band S Club ...  Read the complete review

The Saturdays burst onto the music scene last year with the ever popular single 'If this is love', since then they have had a bestselling album which I am reviewing and have released a number of singles from it. The Saturdays consist of 5 girls; Frankie, Rochelle, Una, Mollie and Vanessa. You may recognise the first two as they used to be in S Club 8, many many years ago, don't let this put you off though as they have grown up and are producing great music. Please note this review is for the original version of this album and not for the re-release which also contains the Comic Relief single 'I just cant get enough'. Track 1-If this is love (3 minutes 23 ...  Read the complete review
