Girls Aloud - Long Hot Summer review

Not ones to hang around between albums, Girls Aloud are due to release the follow-up to What Will The Neighbours Say? in a month or so, from which this is the first single. Given that so little time has passed since their last outing, plus the fact that the formidable Xenomania production team remain at the helm, it's no surprise to find that the formula remains much the same. Coquettish, sugar-coated vocals, spangly pop synths with just enough beefiness to make dance music fans do a guilty double take, and the odd smattering of jangly Fifties guitars. For our money, still the best girl band around.
