"All I want is something new, something I can hold on to," Girls Aloud declare on their comeback single. Given it's been three years since they announced their 12-month hiatus - a period which has seen each of them embark on solo projects with varying degrees of success - we're struggling to sympathise with their hasty demands on their much-hyped return.

Fortunately, 'Something New' goes a long way in making up for their tardiness. "You boys better know know know, we girls gonna run this show," Cheryl sing-speaks over a breezy but no less thumping pop beat, before they collectively insist they're the "leaders of the pack" on the electro-strutting chorus. Like so many of their previous Xenomania-created gems, its head-spinning structure takes time to grow - but when it does, the result almost feels like they never really left us.
