What's 'Love Is Pain' from the new Girls Aloud album like?

Story filed Wednesday, 15 October 2008

Well! It starts off pretending to be 808 State, then decides to be 'Break 4 Love' for a short while, and then ends up thundering into an early-90s electronic sort of affair. There are some brilliant "oh-oh-oh" bits at the end. That is a picture of a whip by the way, we know it doesn't look anything like one but it is.

Best lyric: "It don't matter to me, just be faithful to me"
Is it amazing? Yes
Is it amazing by Girls Aloud standards? Yes
