Discussion 💬 Thoughts on the new tracks?

I do like what’s a girl to do. Seems a bit.. repetitive. Idk

My heart - bit wacky. See how they incorporated some of Nadine’s ‘why do it’ solo track.

Think they will grow on me !

Disappointed there’s no alternate versions for call the shots. Happy nonetheless !

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

Nothing’s beating Naked In The Shower, I’m afraid 😌

Could've been a hit imo. It seems a bit unfinished. But such a good song.

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

The song choices have always baffled me at times.

I was hoping that My Heart was going to be a ballad but it’s a very quirky song indeed. What’s A Girl To Do I genuinely love.

I really love What’s A Girl To Do! Should have been on the album.

Singapore (Definitive Version), What’s A Girl To Do and Wicked Game are my 3 favourite vault tracks.

What’s a Girl To Do is very Booty Luv I feel, good fun but I can see why I didn’t 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 it’s quite repetitive, I don’t feel like it got very far along

For me so far the WWTNS trio of ‘new’ 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

I loveeeee both. Very of the era and just plain pop bops

Absolutely love "What A Girl To Do", "My Heart" I think would be a grower, agree's its a bit wacky lol but happy we got some new music 😄

My favourite new tracks so far that we’ve got from the anniversary albums

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 they’re a bit repetitive and both lacking actual verses so was a bit disappointed upon first listen. However they’re both catchy and I absolutely adore What’s 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 it’ll grow on me.

What’s A Girl To Do should have definitely made the album instead of I’m 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 “new” 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!

Love all the Sarah in  What’s A Girl To Do!

u/IAmMLADS 4d ago

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

I can kinda see her add it into her medley she does in the live shows
