When cutting edge UK girl group Girls Aloud (picture a 2000s version of the Spice Girls – only a million billion times better) went on hiatus back in 2009, many of the act’s members unsurprisingly decided that they’d pursue solo careers during their time off to varying degrees of success on a commercial and critical level. Deemed the “Ugly Duckling” of Girls Aloud, Nicola Roberts’ (the fact that she’s heavily criticized for her looks is quite pathetic as she is better looking than most people out there) debut album may have generated only modest success commercially, but that sales aren’t always indicative of quality as “Cinderella’s Eyes” features some excellent pop songwriting and production. “Say It Out Loud” is the perfect example of that – a sugary track just takes off during the final 90 seconds, where chopped up vocals are fighting against beeps and blips.
