Cheryl Cole’s Solo Bow

Posted Mon 7 Sep 2009 5:13PM BST by Johnny Famethrowa in Touching The Void
The first member of a hugely successful boy or girl band to go solo always finds themselves right under the spotlight, as they bid to swim rather than sink. Robbie Williams, Geri Halliwell and Ronan Keating tasted very different experiences when they took the plunge. The difference with Cheryl Cole is her relationship with Girls Aloud looks to be thriving and there's a future in the day job. That's before we even consider her alternative career as TV personality and the tabloid's new Princess Diana.

Cole's debut solo single, "Fight For This Love", got its first radio play today and showcases a fairly interesting slice of future-pop, complete with the inevitable vocal wobbles that have so taken over the charts in recent months. Written by Andre Merritt, Steve Kipner and Wayne Wilkins and due for release in October, the track is the first to be taken from forthcoming debut album "Three Words". This is what it sounds like...

just the kind of music that makes it up the charts..... popular but no substance.

sounds like she needs a few other girls singing together to make this song powerful enough....hmmm where could she find those???

stick with girls aloud, this is not good. why do people who are successful in bands go on to think that they would make a good single artist? Do they get above themselves? Girls aloud is a winning formula.

17. Yahoo! Music User -
