After winning the X-Factor four years ago Little Mix have released their third album ‘Get Weird‘. We have been waiting two years for this album and fair to say it was worth the wait.
The girls have been working hard to ensure they fulfil the needs of all their fans. At the 2015 Brit Awards, the group confirmed that their album was completed, describing it as having a “whole new sound”.
While the new tracks are similar to their previous tunes, they still deliver the feel you want from a pop group. And in some ways the girls have grown up in their song choices, as they are not as karaoke as their previous album ‘Salute’.
The album is full of upbeat, jazzy songs to grab the attention of all, along with some slow meaningful numbers.
The hottest girl-band comeback song ‘Black Magic’ is one of the girls’ most popular songs they have released and gave them their third number one. It’s a catchy tune that sticks in the head and makes you want to boogie along to the fast-paced tune. It marked a real change for the girls and the single also peaked within the top 10 of the charts in Ireland, Israel and Australia. The single managed to stay at number one for three weeks, which became the first single by a girl group to do so since Sugababes’s “About You Now” in October 2007.
‘Take a sip of my secret potion, I’ll make you fall in love’ is my favourite lyric of the song as it pretty much sums up the track as it’s all about a girl wanting a boy that she can’t have.
‘Love Me Like You’ is their most recent release and here the girl group give their very best interpretation of Motown. The song is a bouncy yet romantic number which will always get the crowd dancing and would be a perfect wedding song.
Overall the album provides enough variety to appeal to all ages, with its mix of fast and slow tracks.
Little Mix have never failed to impress with their song and album releases and I don’t think there is one song on the album that won’t be a future hit! It is just fantastic. Great work from these girls.
If you are excited to see what else Little Mix has to offer, then you won’t have long to wait for the girls are preparing for the ‘Get Weird’ tour, which kicks off in March 2016.
