Cheryl Cole Is Back: “Call My Name” Produced By Calvin Harris

She may be back but sans the bang. So today Cheryl Cole, former member of the famed UK group Girls Aloud, launched her new single off her forthcoming album “A Million Lights” available June 18th. I can’t say that I was immediately drawn to the song when I heard it. I mean it has a good beat to it and it’s going to be played over and over again in the gaybourhood clubs for sure, but it lacks for me. The main chorus is great and I love it but the other parts are womp womp for me.
The track was produced by Calvin Harris and I love a lot of the work he does but I was kind of hoping for more. Is it just me? I thought that if you’re the sweetheart of the UK you’re title track would have had more passion and power behind it. It just sounds like what everyone else is doing at the moment and not pushing the envelope. It’s the same reason I was underwhelmed with MDNA. I will most likely end up listening to it a good few times but in the end the track is pretty forgettable. Lets hope that the rest of the album is stellar and that this was just a bad pick for a first track. I really like Cheryl and I think she has more in her to give.
I personally think the best way to pick up here career again would be to join The X-Factor USA. The US would get to know her better, she could use the platform and she’d be much better than Nicole was (I like her but she did NOT win me over with her poor choices and less than ideal personality traits). So that’s my two cents, what do you all feel? Like it, love it, hate it? Sound off below!

Hun, you’re obviously a bit out of date.
Cheryl did joined the X Factor US last year, thanks to both her friendship with Simon Cowell (having both worked together in the X Factor UK for years), and the connections of Will.i.am (her current manager). After only a couple of episodes, Simon decided to drop her and replace her with Nicole Sch… (due mostly to his infatuation with Lewis Hamilton). There was a huge uproar in the UK, and Cheryl came back home with her tail between her legs.. Simon has since admitted that he made a mistake by ditching her, and offered her job back at the X Factor UK, which she rejected, being replace by Tulisa Contostavlos, and Kelly Rowland replacing Danii Minogue. The saga continues…

Londoner I’m completely aware of all of that and that’s why I said I think it would be good for her to do the US because Simon said it was a mistake and want’s her back. I’m not out of date, I simply just didn’t want to repeat all of that in my post. But thank you.

Seriously: not! It sounds like any other sound that radio plays.

I have to disagree about the X Factor US, as much as I would like to see her on there, she’s better off not wasting her time….I mean honestly, you go to a different country to judge on a TV show, and after a couple she’s gets booted because Simon Cowell is a dumbass.
She should stay in the UK, release the album, and than HOPEFULLY get back together with Girls Aloud!!
