The Saturdays rapping? Girls transform into MEN for their new single


The Saturdays rapping? Girls transform into MEN for their new single (recorded pre-baby bumps)

    Not letting pregnancy or babies stand in the way of world domination, The Saturdays are preparing to release their new single Gentleman.
    But this isn't another cheesy pop song from the five sirens - in their latest single the girls rap and in the video they even dress up as the opposite sex - although nothing can hide their femininity.
    Of course, the video and single sleeve show the girls pre-baby bumps - Frankie Sandford just announced her pregnancy while her bandmate Rochelle Humes is nearing her due date. 
    No baby bumps here! The Saturdays looks dapper on their new single cover - Frankie Sandford has just announced she is three months as her bandmate Rochelle Humes is just about to give birth

    Written by Priscilla Renea, Gentleman is the third single from their upcoming studio album due for release later this year.  
    Gentleman sees the girls on the hunt for the perfect man but they lament a concept seemingly stuck in a lost decade; 'so 1999'.  
    The tongue-in-cheek track is a contemporary take on a Nineties urban pop sound, with intricate harmonies and a fast-paced, upbeat flow.  Frankie, Mollie King, Rochelle, mother-of-one Una Healy, and Vanessa White even name-check a selection of possible candidates, ranging from Ryan Gosling to Drake to George Clooney. 
    Listen to a snippet of the single here
    Their normal selves: That's better... the girls go back to their feminine side after dressing up as men

    Frankie said  'Gentleman is a totally different sound for us but it feels like a natural progression from 'What About Us.’' 
    Mollie added, "who knew you would hear The Saturdays rapping? We had so much fun in the studio messing around on this track!'
    The accompanying video sees the girls not only as glamorous housewives but also dressed as their male love interests. Rochelle says: "In the video, you definitely get to see us in a completely new light…dressed as men! It was definitely our most fun video shoot yet.'
    Putting plans in place: The mum-to-be obviously couldn't wait to start planing the wedding, after getting engaged a few weeks ago

    As she is now: Frankie shows off a slight baby bump - she is expecting her first child with fiancé Wayne Bridge

    The Saturdays last single ‘What About Us’ not only became the girls 14th hit single but it also became their first #1. It also made the top spot in style when it became the fastest selling record of the year, notching up an incredible 114,000 sales in its first week of release.
    Undoubtedly one of the biggest girl bands in the UK, the multimillion selling pop group, are now set to continue their remarkable run of success since forming in 2008.

    Last year the girls signed a deal with Mercury / Island Def Jam in the US and they spent six months travelling back and forth from London, L.A. and New York to film the E! reality TV series ‘Chasing The Saturdays’ which debuted on both sides of the Atlantic earlier this year. 
    It is now transmitting around the world from Europe to Asia.
    Mollie, Vanessa, Una, Rochelle and Frankie are currently completing their fifth album release.
