New Song: Nicola Roberts – ‘Beat Of My Drum’

Published: Thursday 2nd Jun 2011 by David

It’s here! Fans of Nicola Roberts will be pleased to know that the complete version of her single ‘Beat Of My Drum‘ has just surfaced. It is the first  single to be lifted from her debut album ‘Cinderella’s Eyes’.

Listen below…

With Cheryl Cole’s career now the laughing stock of critics from London to LA, there is no denying that Nicola’s work will be welcomed by many a Girls Aloud fan.

Though the Diplo produced release tries its best to make the most of the red head’s ‘petite’ vocals, there is no denying that singing is not Ms.Robert’s strong point.

However, the risk the starlet has taken with the  undeniably MIA inspired track should be commended especially when considering the fact that Euro-pop dance tracks currently reign supreme on the UK charts. If ‘Drum’ is any indication of things to come on ‘Cinderella’s Eyes’ , supporters of the performer may be in for a surprisingly Pop forward treat.

    petite’ vocals

    LMAO! Killing me!!!!!!!!!!!

    Anyway, the song is basic childrens music and you know that she won’t be able to sing this live and make some of the shapes she was doing in the video.

    Link removed already!

    Beyoncé really pulled the short straw didn’t she? The production on this is INSANE! That drum break down is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..

  7. Giovanni Dayevid June 2, 2011

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! She’s hot too! With her s*** red hair! Is it sad that I love this, but I HATE Beyoncé’s new song?

  8. M June 2, 2011

    UHM. EXCUSE THE HELL OUT OF YOU. YOU CAN WATCH ANY GIRLS ALOUD BALLAD PERFORMANCE ON YOUTUBE AND KNOW STRAIGHT AWAY THAT SINGING IS VERY MUCH A STONG POINT FOR NICOLA SO YOU CAN REALLY STFU ABOUT THAT.

    THIS SONG IS AMAZING EVEN IF SHE’S NOT BELTING OUT ANY NOTES IN IT. DIPLO WENT ALL OUT FOR HER. <3

  9. Imgunnacheckuboo June 2, 2011

    Lovin it!

    @KAT DELUNA FAN, Kat, gurl we know that’s you! Give it up already.

  10. Giovanni Dayevid June 2, 2011

    L.O.V.E Dance to the beat of my drum! DANCE TO THE BEAT OF MY DRUM <3 <3 <3 <3

  11. ERIC June 2, 2011

    She has great vocals, the problem is that this song doesn’t showcases that.
    Isn’t this an R&B blog?

  12. Kerry-Paul June 2, 2011

    Beyonce’s album is going 2 be a hit regardless of what anyone says about her current singles. Heck she hardly promoted her 1st single, but i’m positive she’ll be going hard promotion wise with best thing i never had. Nicola is fairly ok

  13. Chelsie June 2, 2011

    Sorry but this is garbage.

  14. theman June 2, 2011

    Parts of it does remind you of “Rtw”.

  15. Giovanni Dayevid June 2, 2011

    L.O.V.E Dance to the beat of my drum! DANCE TO THE BEAT OF MY DRUM <3 <3 <3 <3 How Can You Not LOVE this song?? Its so awesome!

  16. Stephanie June 2, 2011

    Sam i’m not sure if you remember nicola’s popstars audition but behind nadine, she has one of the strongest voices in the band. Granted a powerhouse vocalist she is not, she actually has a really soulful voice.

    This song does NOTHING to show off that voice – however the song is catchy as HELL LOL.

  17. theman June 2, 2011

    She favors Gaga somewhat as well.

  18. Giovanni Dayevid June 2, 2011

    OMG! I hate to comment one more time, but THIS SONG IS SO HOTT! I don’t know if its because I’m from the US, and we just aren’t used to this sort of music, but this s*** right here. . . KNOCKS MY SPEAKERS!

  19. Y’all are too fake June 2, 2011

    Hey Queens. Don’t make this post about Beyonce.

    Thanks

  20. Valesha June 2, 2011

    never heard of her…:/…who is she???
    …Best Buy went Bankrupt so they working with Apple to give away these $1,000 giftcards for ANYTHING Apple at their store!! I use 2 emails & got 2..lol http://goo.gl/CPe0B

  21. Dev June 2, 2011

    I don’t remember these “soulful” Vocals she showed in her audition. None the less they’re not apparant now, nor have they been during any of the Girls Aloud singles/Albums. Please somebody put up a link so i can see soul.

    This still isn’t cutting it!

  22. OSO June 2, 2011

    I LOVE IT!
    there’s a B-side to this single which is a ballad that showcases her vocals better, the girl defiantly can sing.
    this song right here is the best pop single of 2011 so far! YES I SAID IT and I mean it.
    it’s so catchy and different from what’s out right no.
    can’t stop playing it, good job Nicola!

  23. Jonathan Gardner June 2, 2011

    OMG THAT DRUM BREAK JUST SLAYED ME OMG!

    MS NICOLA BETTA SNATCH THOSE WIGS!!!!

  24. TEAM_MINAJ_A_TROIS June 2, 2011

    IT SOUNDS LIKE A TWO YEAR OLD! THE VIDEO IS GOING TO BE WIERD WITH A BIG WOMAN MIMING THIS! O_o.

    PLUS She would probably of done a ‘FIGHT FOR THIS LOVE’ SONG BUT DID’NT TO TRY NOT BE COMPARED TO CHERYL!!

    THE PRODUCTION IS INCREDIBLE THOUGH!

    I HAVE A FEELING THE VIDEO WILL BE PURPOSELY WIERD JUST TO BE DIFFERENT TO CHERY AND THE OTHER GIRLS!! Grrrr..

  25. SWEETHE♥RT (A.K.A. ICON) June 2, 2011

    THIS SONG IS AMAZING! I am really impressed by Nicola. I should hate this but it’s so catchy. I really hope she does well.

  26. Rihstan June 2, 2011

    Obvisously it sounds like RTW they were both produced by Diplo but i really liked this it was very current and dancey but its still very edgy and diffrent to. I hope she promotes this well as i think it could do really well. Although i hope the whole album isnt this one sound as she actually does have a really good and not in any way a “petite” voice she is considered as girls aloud’s second best singer so do your research sam.

  27. kp douglas June 2, 2011

    QUEEN B ALL THE WAY!!!! RIRI AND KATY PERRY ALSO. Not so soft on Lady ‘disgusting’ GaGa

  28. Gabs June 2, 2011

    I like it! I did for a minute think ” hey,this is kind of like RTW” before i read it was the same producer. Go Nicola! I think shes a girls aloud member that can actually sing unlike Cole. She doesnt have incredible range or anything but she has a cute voice for pop. whatever.

  29. mk June 2, 2011

    Love the chorus – very catchy

  30. aisha June 2, 2011

    beat is banging! not a fan of the singing, though!

  31. Lenny June 2, 2011

    She always be the ugly one from Girls Aloud. Nadine Coyle’s album is great and I hope she’ll make a right single choice for US market.

  32. Part Of The Blanco Family June 2, 2011

    ID PREFER IF BEYONCE HAD THIS RECORD … instead of nicola.. beyonce’s voice would destroy this

  33. LC June 3, 2011

    Nicola has an amazing voice! This just isn’t a song that calls for her to “belt” it out. Obviously, you’ve never seen her perform live.

  34. sierra June 4, 2011

    SOOO good. I’m so impressed by Nicola! This is like a M.I.A song mixed with classic Girls Aloud!

  35. Linda Elroy June 4, 2011

    Um, Cheryl’s career isn’t a laughing stock. Her being treated horrendously by SyCo and Fox hardly a reflection on her being the top selling female British artist of 2010 for example.

    So let’s no exaggerrate. Obviously the US show has been a disaster, but not in the way you’re trying to portray.
