The Saturdays – All Fired Up

Less ridiculous autotune.

Tom: You know, I’m a bit surprised the Saturdays are still going. When they first came out, I assumed they were going to be one-hit wonders.

Tim: Are you serious? Despite at least one of them having the musical pedigree of formerly being in S Club Juniors?

Tom: This track’s certainly better than their last one. A bit less ridiculous autotune on the vocals, backed by what I can only describe as a banging choon.

Tim: Less ridiculous autotune? Did you stop listening after 90 seconds? But yes, banging.

Tom: I think you’re forgetting just how much ridiculous autotune they’ve used in the past.

The middle-eight drops it down a bit too far for me, but all is made better by the slow-build ramp out of it. What’s with the dodgy fade-out at the end, though? Those seem to be making a comeback lately, and I’m not sure I like it.

Tim: Yeah, me neither – it sort of implies a lack of effort on everybody’s part.

Tom: One minor point of order though: it’s pronounced “ray-dar”, not “raider”. Just sayin’.

Tim: Erm, that should be “saying”, not “sayin'”. Just saying.

Tom: Git.
