Kimberley says Girls Aloud’s fifth album, “Out Of Control”, is “a lot older sounding. The ’60s thing is quite prominent.” But Nicola claims the album features mostly ’80s electro pop. Sarah chimes in that GA “wanted to stay upbeat but try something a bit different and advanced.” While Nadine adds, “The aim from the beginning was to come up with songs that didn’t sound like anything else out there.” Kimberly continues, “We tried to up our game with this album and step outside the comfort zone.” Whatever it is, Bimbo Jones retouches the track on this radio edit.
