Following on from their massive #1 single, The Saturdays get set to release their new single ‘Gentleman’ on June 30th through Polydor Records.
Written by Priscilla Renea (Rihanna, Cheryl, Demi Lovato) ‘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 90s urban pop sound, with intricate harmonies and a fast-paced, upbeat flow. Frankie, Mollie, Vanessa, Rochelle and Una even name-check a selection of possible candidates, ranging from Ryan Gosling to Drake to George Clooney!
Explaining the song, 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.”
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.
Mollie, Vanessa, Una, Rochelle and Frankie are currently completing their fifth album release on which they have worked with some stellar names from Rodney Jerkins [Destiny's Child, Spice Girls, Britney Spears, Whitney Houston] to Diane Warren [Celine Dion, Toni Braxton, Jessie J, Aerosmith). The album will be released this autumn.
