Hot Video Alert: The Ultra Girls - Girls Will Be Girls


Oh man. I needed a break. Between work getting crazy, pure exhaustion and a little tropical vacation, I just needed to reevaluate and take a little break. That being said, I'm back! I'm ready to blog again. I have a lot to get caught up on so bear with me.

First up...the video for "Girls Will Be Girls," the debut single from the Steve Anderson (Kylie Minogue, Westlife, Britney Spears)-produced Ultra Girls. I've blogged about The Ultra Girls a couple of times previously, and my love has not died down in the slightest. The girls' first blew me away with the vocal abilities on their cover of British boy band The Wanted's song, "Lose My Mind." Next I heard they were opening up for the legendary Ms. Kylie Minogue on the UK leg of her international tour. These girls are kind of a big deal!

The video, while a tad bit cheesy, really recalls the whole "GIRL POWER" message of the Spice Girls. It's a good time for sure. The Ultra Girls are Lucy, Laura, Amy and Lauren and they originally met cheerleeding for Leeds Rhino rugby club. The girls auditioned for X-Factor in 2009 where they managed to make it to judge Louis Walsh's boot camp. Unfortunately, Walsh selected Jedward to go onto the final (BIG MISTAKE) but this thankfully didn't kill the girls' drive or spirit. The girls went underground for 2 years before re-emerging as The Ultra Girls, ready to make an impact on the British charts and hopefully beyond.

In addition to working with Steve Anderson, the Ultra Girls are working with some of the finest people in the business including stylist Kenny Ho (Spice Girls & Girls Aloud), songwriter and musical director Sarah deCourcy (Christophe Willem, Kylie & Mel C), choreographers Aaron Sillis (Kylie & Cheryl Cole) and Tony Testa (Lady Gaga, Britney, Kylie, and Michael Jackson).  I can't WAIT to see what these girls do with their career.  Look out for "Girls Will Be Girls" remixes by Steve Smart & Westfunk, Alex Simmons & Mr. B.  "Girls Will Be Girls" will be out on April 18th so get excited.

If you're in the UK definitely try and see the girls open up for Kylie during her Les Folies 2011 tour. Check out the tour dates below and make sure you watch the video.
“We’ve come so far in the last two years working hard in the studio, rehearsing and making sure everything is in place and now we’re going on tour with Kylie Minogue! All our lives we’ve been to watch our favourite popstars in concert and hoped that one day it would be us. To even begin to believe that we’re going to be supporting Kylie is a dream come true!”

Ultra Girls To Open For Kylie Minogue, Offer Free Download


First things first...check out the stunning new promo photo of the Ultra Girls. Don't they look lovely? The photo was styled by Kenny Ho who has worked with girl group royalty The Spice Girls and Girls Aloud (not to mention Lisa Scott-Lee and Rachel Stevens, according to MuuMuse). BRILLIANT!

Now on to business. I LOVE when good things happen to good pop stars. So when I learned that the Ultra Girls have the unbelievable honor of opening up for Kylie Minogue on the UK leg of her international tour - I was OVER THE MOON for them. What a big deal! The UK leg of the tour kicks off March 22nd in Dublin and concludes April 12th at London's O2 Arena. The girls will be joining Kylie on ALL of her UK arena tour dates. Good for them! Check out a complete list of Kylie's international dates HERE and take a gander at her recently announced North American tour dates HERE.

As if THIS wasn't enough good news, I have more. The Ultra Girls have released a new FREE DOWNLOAD. Produced and recorded with the ever brilliant Steve Anderson - Amy, Lauren, Lucy and Laura have done a special MASHUP of P!nk's hit single "Get The Party Started" (2001) and Blur's "Song 2" (1997). AMAZING. Download it HERE and watch a fun little 'Behind The Scenes' video of the girls below featuring the song. (The video also features the very moment the Ultra Girls found out they were supporting Kylie! Precious to see how excited they all are.


Oh, and if you haven't seen the girls lovely live cover of British boy band The Wanted's new single "Lose My Mind" check that out HERE. 2011 is going to be a big year for the Ultra Girls and I can't wait to hear what's next for them.

Hot Video Alert: The Ultra Girls - Lose My Mind (Live)


I think it's safe to say that Steve Anderson is a pretty good judge of talent, after all he's worked with the legendary Ms. Kylie Minogue, #1 UK boy band Take That, Britney Spears and much much more. As far as resumes go, Steve Anderson's is pretty effing solid. That's why when I heard he was working on a new girl group called The Ultra Girls I was pretty confident that they'd be amazing...and guess what? They are! The Ultra Girls are Amy, Lauren, Lucy and Laura and they are the ones to watch!  Check out this live cover of The Wanted's new single "Lose My Mind." Brilliant! The soloists are, of course, fab but what's more...these girls harmonize beautifully together! I love everything about this - from their playful personalities in the video intro to their spot on vocals, these girls have major chart topping potential.  The girls are hard at work on their debut album, due for release in the new year on Neon Star Records. Looking forward to hearing more from these lovely ladies.
