NICOLA Roberts’ decision to work with the Mercury-nominated indie act Metronomy on her debut solo album Cinderella’s Eyes has paid off.
The track I is great dark pop, a bit like Goldfrapp and Kylie’s Nineties rock phase.
Her self-penned lyrics also mark her out as the troublemaker in Girls Aloud.
On I, she sings: “I don’t like that you won’t let me speak controversially/ Because you think it won’t sit well universally.”
Later she raps, blasting her critics: “Called me a rude ginger b****/ They’re gonna eat all their words.”
More convincing than Cher Lloyd.
On Fish Out Of Water, Yo-Yo and Sticks ‘N’ Stones Nicola, pictured above in Notion mag, talks in brutally honest detail about her ex-loves and confidence issues.
Impressive stuff.
