Girls Can't Catch | Keep Your Head Up

With an intro that sounds not too dissimilar to Sam Sparro's Black & Gold, you'd be forgiven for thinking Keep Your Head Up was another naff pop song sampling a classic. And certainly, with auto-tuned verses and a truly awful band name like Girls Can't Catch, the new girlband on the block won't be without their doubters. But anyone who was left weeping at the news of Girls Aloud's one-year hiatus or the end of The Saturdays' Work Tour will find comfort in this track's surging chorus and kitsch lyrics like 'I've had all sorts of fantasies, even romantasies'. Who cares what a  romantasy is. Look! There's one of the girls from Hope! X Factor connections as well? A sure-fire hit I'd say. 4/5.
