I'm posting this to catch some hysterical meltdowns. I'm neutral on it.
Translated from an Italian interview: Collaborations on the new album are planned? Yes, there are collaborations, one of them is with the beautiful Meghan Trainor. We do not want to spoil the surprise, you'll soon find the other! http://www.teamworld.it/news/musica/...tua-domanda/3/ |

If the track with Meghan Trainor is similar to All About That Bass then that's fine by me.
My dad usually moans when he hears a lot of chart music, but even he likes All About That Bass so no wonder the song was so successful. It appealed to all ages. People who moan about Meghan Trainor are just snobs. I bet they liked Dance With Me Tonight by Olly Murs though!!!

There's a DS interview about the album.
http://www.digitalspy.com/music/feat...iting-teasers/ They confirm songs by Meghan Trainor, Charlie Puth (didnt see that one coming), some production by MNEK amongst other things. Also its very obvious they are trying to break out from their younger fanbase so we'll see if its a net gain or loss at the end. Hopefully its the former. It was refreshing to see this focus after them being lost on the scrapped album: That being said, after Get Weird, the girls knew exactly what they wanted to do next. "After the Get Weird album we knew what sound we wanted to go with straight away, and it just kind of happened really naturally," Jesy says. "We wrote some songs, we've got some songs that were written for us and they just all fitted really well together. We just felt like there was no point in waiting around and we should just get it out." We couldn't agree more. While Jade promises that Little Mix's fourth studio album will be packed with "killer hooks" and "brilliant pop songs", Leigh-Anne goes one further by naming the thing they're most proud of on the collection: "There's this one song that I think our vocals are just, like, crazy." |

iTunes have updated their rolling singles chart and Shout Out To My Ex has gone straight in at #2.
Kworb is yet to update so I can't tell if Little Mix are closer to James Arthur's sales at the moment, or more The Chainsmokers at #3. With the upcoming promo for the single, SOTME has a strong chance of maintaining decent sales throughout the week. If Little Mix get to #1 by this time tomorrow night then they're looking at selling roughly between 6-7k a day as James Arthur all last week was selling about 7k per day at #1, and I suspect his sales are going to start declining slightly. |

If they can get 35k sales, they are safely in Top 10 this week. To beat JA they would need over 100k combined.

I really want to like Little Mix but everything they release just leaves me underwhelmed. Their pinnacle is Love Me Like You but I just find them cringeworthy and cheesy. Do they have any upbeat dance songs? Someone told me to listen to Shout Out to My Ex so I downloaded it for 99p out of curiosity and I no longer have my Apple Music subscription and it sounds the same as all their other songs...
I quite like Salute though. Some of their vocal techniques, it seems like they need to work with a vocal coach, a lot of wailing and not much sophistication. |

Joshua Alamu is their current vocal coach, and I think he's brought on all the girls quite a lot.
They have said they have "club dancier" songs on this album. #27 on US iTunes currently. I'm a little surprised since it took Taylor Swift, a Teen Choice performance and James Corden performance to get Black Magic to #26. |

It definitely reminds me of GRL's 'Ugly Heart' from 2014, but it's still very catchy.

"Shout Out To My Ex" still sounds very teeny boppy for Little Mix and not really an evolution. However, they have a winning chart formula with this sound so I don't see them changing it. Quote:

I kind of agree with this. I am waiting for Little Mix to have their Girls Aloud "Tangled Up" moment....that was when GA evolved into a sophisticated dance-pop sound with "Call The Shots" showing a more mature version of them.
"Shout Out To My Ex" still sounds very teeny boppy for Little Mix and not really an evolution. However, they have a winning chart formula with this sound so I don't see them changing it. "Ugly Heart" immediately came to mind for me too! The chorus sounds very similar. I do get the similarities with Ugly Heart which is a song I really like. Quote:

the fact that they've completely ripped off the chorus of ugly heart bothers me considering what happened with that band.

I love the track but I don't believe Zayn is bad in bed at all. I think it sounds a bit bitter!

Amazing performance, they're at a new high if possible, performing & acting like superstars
Great single really like it No.1 in UK already No.14 in USA, brilliant. Really impressed. Then i listened to the Ugly Heart chorus......not so impressed no more! It's a rip off of the chorus, i knew it reminded me of something! I know it's probably not Little Mix's fault but seriously it seems very similar. It won't stop it doing well as they launched it amazingly but i can understand why G.R.L and their fans are mad. |

GA's early guitar-based sounds were just as important as their later electronic sounds. 'Sounds of the Underground' , 'No Good Advice' and 'Biology' are just as good and probably more influential than 'Call the Shots' or 'Sexy, no, no, no'. And then there was a retro feel about the 'Out of Control' album after 'Tangled Up'.
I do get the similarities with Ugly Heart which is a song I really like. Little Mix are sophisticated enough in their harmonies. You can judge from their Live Lounge reworking of Whitney etc. https://youtu.be/OyhgIuNoWvo Also, Fifth Harmony, their US counterparts, blow LM out of the water every single time. |
