The new official music video from The Ting Tings comeback single, Hands, has just been premiered. It looks and sounds amazing and a definite Auttumn/Winter Anthem! They look older in this video compared to TNMN back in 2008.
Here's a link:

Wow! Sounds so 80's but then looks so 90's. It's great, but might not get No.1 cause Joe Mc is releasing his single that week He will obviously get an X Factor performance. There is one slot left though but it will probably go to Pixie Lott because she's another of "Simon's friends" as she performed on BGT and was a guest judge. Seems only his friends or ex-contestants that were his or Cheryl's can perform and not others

Oh well, hopefully MTV, 4Music and Radio 1 will pick this great song/video up!

People have been releasing 80s influenced songs a lot recently. The Ting Tings are not the first and won't be the last.

Heard the song a while ago and loved it. Very cool video, different to what is on right now on most channels. I can't wait for the new album

I've got to be honest I think it's a really poor song. I hope this isn't representative of the album.

Like it! But as soon as I heard it I thought they sounded like they had been locked in a room with a load of New Order albums. And that is a GOOD thing

Oh well

I think 80s is the new bandwagon which people are jumping on.

It's on the MTV Hits playlist as a new entry!
Already on Radio 1's B-List!
Can't seem to find it on many other stations/channels though

Love it. Even better than the stuff from 'We started nothing'

Can't wait for the album. Anyone know when that is out. I've found the single is released 4th Oct but got no info on the album

Awesome, it's cheesy and the chorus is so throw yo' hands in the air. Gotta feeling it'll flop, though.

For me, the song deserves better than Calvin Harris' paws all over it - it's made it sound like too many other songs and lost some of the group's distinctiveness.

But I love 'Clap your hands if you're working too hard' as a hook - and it's good to see Jules and Katie back ... especially the gorgeous Jules!

At first, I felt like it was an awful song for the Ting Tings to comeback on, and although I agree that the pop/rap genre the Ting Tings belonged to has vanished with "Hands", I still very much enjoy the track.

Chorus is catchy enough, video entertaining enough; only fear is that it won't even crack the Top 20, which'd be a shame. I will be buying for sure, but much like Scouting For Girls, Kate Nash and Alesha Dixon, the T.T aren't going to make a huge impact the second time around.

I reckon they'll get a top 5 album on its release, but this single is all wrong for their fanbase. Too mainstream.

Really like this - one of those songs that gets better each time i hear it.

Katie looks pretty damn fine in the video as well

I first heard the song while cooking a lamb roast a couple of weeks ago. Wasn't really a Ting Tings fan before but it's a great song.

Amazing video, I just love the feel of it, its a treat for the eyes! And the song is annoyingly catchy but good at the same time. Amazing comeback...

The video is good but the song is rubbish! Not really classic Ting Tings in my eyes. Disappointed! I hope they have much better songs on their album.

I frickin' love this song. The hook is awesome and is stuck in my head.

I could see it being a sleeper hit!
