Since bursting onto the scene in 2008, it’s fair to say Pop quad JLS haven’t quite roused us in the way they have their legion of fans. Indeed, a messy mix of cheesy mozzarella defines most of their chart offerings. A shame given their collective potential on The X Factor.
Yet, that all looks set to change, so we’re told, with the release of their forthcoming album, ‘Evolution’ – the first single from which was announced today.
Full story below…
Produced by Bangladesh (Beyonce’s ‘Diva’, Brandy’s ‘Put It Down’), the track – christened ‘Hottest Girl In The World’ – is described as “a sleek, modern club song and shows a maturity and progression, taking the group out of Pop territory. A seamless transition into grown-up R&B”.
“Grown up R&B” seems to not only be the underpinning of the single, but the backdrop of the entire album. For, Urban hitmakers The Runners, Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins, and Midi Mafia, all feature.
‘Hottest Girl In The World’ receives its radio premiere on September 6th and hits iTunes on October 21st. ‘Evolution’ arrives on November 5th.

Interesting stuff on a number of fronts.
Tacky material or otherwise, their countless awards and sell-out tours have earned these funky divas the right to experiment with a “cooler” sound. And with all signs pointing to the song being a “banger”, we’re admittedly…excited. Who’d have thought?!
That said, one has to wonder if their foray into the world of Urban will go down well with their markedly “mainstream” audience. Time will tell…
I love this image of the here. These boys are very or look very athletic and like acrobats. I wish them good luck and better luck this time.
Why is Sam always implying random males are queens.
Keep in mind the face of your site makes videos on youtube and that is the biggest queen I’ve every seen, you cannot speak on gayness when your probably jacking off to that picture right now. #POORDAT
I dont care who the producers are, it doesn’t mean it’s going to a less commercial or better sound. Also with JLS limited vocal abilities i don’t hold much hope on anything better.
Their vocals are quite good, you obviously are no informed on that, 3 out of 4 have better than average vocals
RACISM IN SOCIETY STILL EXISTS, I LOVE HOW SIMON COWELL CREATED A IMAGE FOR ONE DIRECTION BY MAKING THEM ALL COME ACROSS AS GENTLEMEN, WEARING SWEATERS AND TIES AND S***, AND GIVING THEM A SOPHISTICATED LOOK, WHAT BECAUSE DEY WHITE? THEN WHEN IT COMES TO JLS, THEY WANT THEM IN A MANY FLORESCENT COLOURS AS POSSIBLE JUMPING AROUND LIKE BABOONS
Simon’s not responsbilbe for these tuffs’ image
Simon isn’t responsible for JLS they are signed to RCA.
hmm hottest girl in the world – yeah nothing screams “grown” like qualifying girls like that. these boys wont last 10 years.
btw, the topless pics got stale real quick
Homosexuals.
Jls the first males to last longer out of x factor. The rest have already flopped. They may not have made it world wide because they are black but I would say that there fun base is huge in the uk. There products sell like hell
