Girls Aloud member Nicola Roberts–or, as PopJustice rightfully suggests we call her, NICOLA FUCKING ROBERTS, has released one of the best singles of the year, “Beat Of My Drum.”
For those who pre-ordered the single on iTunes UK (which just went on sale at midnight tonight in the UK), the song came bundled with a brand new B-side: “Porcelain Heart.”
In short, it is a perfect song. Literally: It’s a perfect pop song. Like a Girls Aloud or Sophie Ellis-Bextor track, “Porcelain Heart” is a perfectly sophisticated glam-pop track, made all the more dramatic thanks to Roberts’ (unexpectedly!) theatrical vibrato–think Clare Maguire produced by Xenomania.
It’s absolutely lush. Beyond. A favorite of the year, undoubtedly. To quote the Nicola: “I wouldn’t change a single thing.”
But the best moment of the entire song, OBVIOUSLY…
“My porcelain…
HEEEEEAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUHHHHRRRTTTTTT!”
Note: My actual face upon hearing that note for the first time.
NICOLA FUCKING ROBERTS: Shitting on your faves since–well, since two days ago.
“Beat Of My Drum” was released on June 5. (iTunes UK)
