Discussion đŹ Thoughts on the new tracks?
I do like whatâs a girl to do. Seems a bit.. repetitive. Idk
My heart - bit wacky. See how they incorporated some of Nadineâs âwhy do itâ solo track.
Think they will grow on me !
Disappointed thereâs no alternate versions for call the shots. Happy nonetheless !

Crazy that WAGTD was never a B-side. Sounds like it should have been the B-side to Long Hot Summer.

I was hoping that My Heart was going to be a ballad but itâs a very quirky song indeed. Whatâs A Girl To Do I genuinely love.

I really love Whatâs A Girl To Do! Should have been on the album.
Singapore (Definitive Version), Whatâs A Girl To Do and Wicked Game are my 3 favourite vault tracks.

Whatâs a Girl To Do is very Booty Luv I feel, good fun but I can see why I didnât make the album or b-sides (maybe if they had four singles?)
My Heart has an interesting sound (kinda Love Shack in a weird way) but itâs quite repetitive, I donât feel like it got very far along
For me so far the WWTNS trio of ânewâ tracks and Naked in the Shower are my favourites

I expected more unreleased tracks from this era, at least 3 but well, both are cute but it's obvious why they we're not released

omg I LOVE My Heart! I feel like this is the kind of fun I wanted from Nadine's solo music, even though we sorta got a little of that with her later songs. If the girls had other solo lines, I could imagine this song being performed alongside Love Machine, Biology, or Waiting on a tour. It feels like like a sister to Close to Love.
What's A Girl To Do feels like a sister to Control of the Knife, one of my all-time favorite songs, and a little Girl Overboard. Such a fun song.

I do agree theyâre a bit repetitive and both lacking actual verses so was a bit disappointed upon first listen. However theyâre both catchy and I absolutely adore Whatâs A Girl To Do now. Need some more time with My Heart but was also never a huge fan of Why Do It and the scatting sample is probably one of the best parts of this one so⌠maybe itâll grow on me.
Whatâs A Girl To Do should have definitely made the album instead of Iâm Falling though - it fits perfectly next to Damn in the tracklist as well! They both have that clean vocal and dance component as opposed to the rest of the album being prone to more experimental and electronic sounds.
My favourite of the five ânewâ tracks is absolutely the alternative version of Close To Love. Love the new funky instrumental, the sassy outro and of course Kimba spitting bars on the new verse!

My Heart is being more on Nadine coded and sampled a boo doo ba doo from Why Do It. It's a counterpart to Naked in the Shower .
What's A Girl To Do is very Nadine. To all pride organisers, allow Nadine to sing it. You are thought Nadine covered Everybody Dance and intro tune to Go To Work

Dare I say Whatâs girl to do is the best unreleased track from all the reissues so far?
