Nadine Coyle - Insatiable
Everyone has their favourite member of Girls Aloud - I always felt Nadine was the most...erm...talented. But now that Cheryl is 'the nation's sweetheart' (really?!), this single is Coyle's push to steal the pop crown.
It's certainly a better effort than Promise This. It's total pop, but with a slightly rockier, funkier edge and a bright brassy chorus. It's catchy, though it feels like Coyle is trying a bit too hard to be sexy and lyrically this is simplistic stuff. I also hate the vocoder in the middle eight.
Still, it's not a bad effort - the focus is clearly on the vocal rather than tabloid headlines (yes, I'm looking at you Cheryl...). Let's be honest, both songs are a bit shite, but for me Nadine has the vocal edge.
2/5
