New Saturday's Single "Forever Is Over"
The Saturdays' new single 'Forever Is Over' was written by former Busted star James Bourne, it has emerged.
The girl group, who are currently putting the finishing touches to their second studio album, reportedly paired up with Bourne to create a "rockier" sound distinct from their labelmates Girls Aloud.
"'Forever Is Over' will be the song which finally distances The Saturdays from all the Girls Aloud clones remarks," a source told the Daily Star.
"It's totally unlike anything they've ever done before. It's a big 'F*** you' to a boyfriend after a break-up, and sounds like nothing Girls Aloud would ever release either.
"Everyone around the band is very excited as they've really started to hone their own sound. James wrote all of Busted's number ones, and a massive bunch of McFly hits too, so he knows what he's doing when it comes to pop and rock with a mainstream edge."
The Saturdays reportedly threatened to go on strike recently after claiming that their management were working them too hard.
'Forever As One' will precede the girl band's second album, scheduled for release in October.

Why are they releasing a single and then the album? For increased sales it makes sense to release 2 singles before the album! It builds up the anticipation. I thought they were releasing a new song they sang on tour called "Wordshaker?"

releasing 2 singles before the album might build up the anticipation, possibly leading to a higher chart position for the album, but whether that means it will sell more is uncertain. Lady Gaga released The Fame the week after Just Dance came out, and the album hovered around the top 10 for a few months, but when Poker Face got to no.1, The Fame then spent 4 weeks at the top of the album chart, having been out for a few months already. all The Saturdays need is a strong lead single followed by a good second single.
Not bashing SOTU/NGA by there, I LOVE those songs, I'm just saying the Sats new song better sound different if they want their own image
I'm looking forward to their second album, their first one was fab.
It was, wasn't it!
We know two tracks what's the other new one they sang on tour?
It was called "One Shot". They made the crowd do a Steps-esque dance move during the chorus. Cringe.
Sugababes are doing it with their 7th Album.
"Get Sexy"
"About A Girl"

Before anyone writes off James Bourne, he *did* write all of Busted's singles (didn't they get 4 #1's, a #2, a #3 and a #5) in the space of two years?
yes, but busted were 'new' (well, ressurecting the traditional pop sound, kids banging guitars...all good fun! (that as opposed to manufactured robots) ). the teen market has always been more heavily reprisented by females... so busted were always going to do well. the sats however are just another generic girl group.. whilst they may have some talent in being able to perform live, credit where its due, im still uncertain that the material is good enough to transcend their fan base.
id prefer them to cut the 'earnest warbling' ala x factor stylee out of their reportoir and concentrate on their harmonies...which are their main strength. we dont need the old ga/sb formula with each in turn singing a verse to be joined by all for a chorus. their vocal harmonies are their strength, play to that..... but i doubt they will.
It seems like a bit of a jump from their last album to a 'rockier sound' and I'm not sure it will suit them but I'll give it a shot.
The whole 'songs Girls Aloud wouldn't release' thing is a load of nonsense though- I'm pretty sure most of their early singles were pop-rock sounding songs like Sound of the Underground and No Good Advice.
indeed, but whats the use in having the ability to play instruments if they dont display it?
play them and sing live and ill respect that, regardless of wether or not i like the track.
What the article fails to mention is the James Bourne wrote and produced it with the same people who produced Beyonce's Halo and Jordin Sparks' Battlefield so it's not just James. They had two other American producers working on it.
OMG really! You're so right!
Are they the same people that did Leona's Yesterday and Take A Bow? I read somewhere they're involved.
If it is then ignore my question.
Yes although I think this is a rumour at the moment and not confirmed.
