}} ''Headlines!'' is the debut extended play (EP) by British-Irish girl group The Saturdays. It was released in Ireland on 13 August 2010 and in the United Kingdom on 16 August 2010 by Fascination Records. The collection includes previous singles "Forever Is Over" and "Ego" as well as a remix of "One Shot" from ''Wordshaker'' and five new songs recorded in 2010. One of these is a cover of the song "Died in Your Eyes", originally from Kristinia DeBarge's 2009 album ''Exposed''. The album was preceded by the release of the lead single "Missing You" on 5 August 2010. It became the group's seventh top-ten hit when it peaked at number three in the UK and number six in Ireland. Overall the project received mixed to positive reception from critics, who were undecided about the new direction for the group but agreed on the need for more consistency. ''Headlines!'' debuted in the UK at number three and number ten in Ireland, becoming their highest charting album to date and following the success of "Missing You". A second single, "Higher", was released on 28 October 2010 after it was remixed to feature American rapper Flo Rida. The album was re-issued on 8 November to include this new version along with the tracks "Deeper", "Lose Control" and "Here Standing", all of which previously appeared on ''Wordshaker''. == Background and development == The Saturdays never intended to release any material in 2010, as confirmed by Vanessa White in an interview with BBC News. "We weren't really supposed to be releasing anything til next year but we couldn't wait, so we decided to do a mini-album instead." It was something which both the label and group agreed to.〔 Group member Rochelle Humes explained in an interview with Digital Spy: With regards to recording for the new album the group revealed that they worked with previous collaborators Steve Mac and Ina Wroldsen as well as some new producers. The group would also go on to explain exactly what a mini-album was, "a normal album would maybe consist of 12 or 13 tracks, but here we have eight. It'll be cheaper for the fans - and then hopefully we'll finish the other songs and put something else out later."〔 The Mini-LP includes the song "Died in Your Eyes", a cover of a song featured on Kristinia DeBarge's 2009 album ''Exposed''. Though Ryan Love from entertainment website Digital Spy, said that only a few people will realise that "Died in Your Eyes" is a cover, "it's a shame that one of ''Headlines!'' five new songs turns out to be second-hand". Another member of the group, Una Healey confirmed that the song "Higher", which has been performed by the group several times during festivals over the summer, would be one of the songs on the EP.〔 Meanwhile, Humes would tip "Higher" to be the second single from the album whilst Mollie King told 'Digital Spy' "We're definitely having another single from the album after 'Missing You' and probably another after that if all goes well". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Headlines!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
