It's rare for a pop tune not to benefit from a man shouting

  • September 17, 2010
  • Popjustice

This is the new version of The Saturdays' 'Higher' (HIYAAA!!!!), including a rap from old rope merchant Flo Rida.

[youtube]fyQdIfL7fhk[/youtube] You might miss his subtle addition to the song's intro­duc­tion — it's fairly low in the mix.

The rap is alright but it does not approach the genius of the "with even the alphabet she only sings the crooked letters" guest spot in Alex Burke's 'Bad Boys'.

All in all, though, at the end of the day, when all is said and done, the long and short of it is that all told, when you take everything into account, this song is great and that if it or something along its lines had been the lead single from 'The Sats'' second album the band might not be in the slightly odd (although based on the surprise chart per­form­ance of 'Missing You' not entirely unpleas­ant) position they are now.

And that concludes that.
