Little Mix released their fourth studio album Glory Days last week and, I have to say I'm impressed. The girls aren't doing anything groundbreaking on this record, but for fans of solid pop tunes, they've temporarily satisfied an itch for sexy every-song-is-meant-to-be-a-single type jams.
If you want to skip the fluff and go straight to the best stuff, here are the five best songs on Glory Days ordered by how much they made me want to fuck a stranger. You'll find that Meghan Trainor is conspicuously absent here.
5. Down and Dirty
Good harmonies on this one. Obligatory EDM adjacent slow burner with weird sound effects in the chorus. It's good though. Really raunchy.
4. No More Sad Songs
This is the obligatory dance-hall adjacent one. Nothing earth shattering here either but it's a midtempo ~feels anthem that fits really nicely into the whole motif of the album.
3. Shout Out to My Ex
The chorus makes this entire song. In the same way that One Direction's "Drag Me Down" found almost all of its wind in the chorus, SOtME's chorus absolutely soars in the most satisfying way.
2. Power
I. LOVE. POWER. Right, full disclosure. I wanted to make Power my number one because I love it so much, but I did not think it was objectively the ~best. But I would just like to say, for the record, that it is my favourite. It's so all over the place and frantic. I probably love it because I'm a Gemini.
1. Touch
Touch is objectively the best on the album. Also some EDM and dancehall things happening here but it's fine. I promise. I know Little Mix already wasted their political capital on the Sean Paul "Hair" feature, but this song would definitely benefit from a refrain ft. Sean Paul. Just a thought for the reissue.
