SARAH HARDING has become the third GIRLS ALOUD singer to announce she's working on solo material.

Sarah, who unveiled this new mature look on Wednesday night, said at her Kanaloa club in London: "I'm starting my album now but I don't know what theme of music to go for. I want to step away from cheesy pop.

"It's important for me to try to establish my own identity."

She's doing herself down a bit. I'm told Sarah will be songwriting with top producers.

Looks like Girls Aloud won't be releasing anything this year, unfortunately.
I wonder how long before Nicola + Kim do a Spice Girls and join in the solo careers (Nicola solo please <3)

Suppose it gives The Saturdays, Sugababes & Girls Can't Catch more time to build their success as girlbands though (although neither are doing particularly well anyway despite GA absense)

[Christina]

That'll be intresting to hear. Her and Nicola always were my fave

Girls Aloud together > Nadine solo > Cheryl solo > anything else

The fans are getting really frustrated now, as much as we're looking forward to Nadine's album it's taking a year longer than planned.

The thing that people forget is that the longer they delay their album (as Girls Aloud) then the longer we have to wait to see them on tour together.

Urg its gonna be good to hear her solo stuff, but i want Girls Aloud back together

[Shaun]

ugh.

Girls Aloud together > another Spice Girls reunion > solo GA efforts.

I thought Nadine was really bad last night on that Boyzone thing
I thought she was the strongest singer as well
I was cringing - she also has zero personality

All untrue. ^

Will it just be a random, avant garde soundscape collage of her burping and falling off chairs?

I am not being trying to be controversial or nasty here - just speaking my mind.

I think Kimberley and Cheryl and Sarah have lovely bubbly personalities and I do think they are all gorgeous girls but I just think the other three are real live wires whilst Nadine and Nicola are a wee bit bland personality wise.

[MrGaryy]

very excited, I love Sarah, however she's already mentioned doing GaGa-esque stuff which I hope she veers away from I'd love her to release like a qt indie record.

[bbfan1991]

Kimberley to go solo please.

[Firewire]

Woo.

I'm excited to hear all the GA solo stuff. Should be interesting.

[Jack_]

I just want them back together, to be honest. I can see this being the end for them, unfortunately.

That's better

[Stacey.]

Girls Aloud are amazing
dont like Sarah really, but Nicola should do a solo

[Tom]

She's my distant cousin (ish). Seriously. Now be nice

[Billy]

Don't think we'll get another GA album tbh, maybe a final GH but I'd be suprised if we got another studio album despite contracts etc.

Hope we get a Kimberley solo too, her voice on some acoustic tracks would be love.

Record contracts are usually open ended, in theory they could make their next album in 2040

I guess Cheryl moving on came at the right time- it meant the rest all had to move on just as Girls Aloud were starting to seriously tank. So they've gone out on somewhat of a high and don't look desperate with solo projects.
