New Music - Little Mix

Little Mix are really on their game lately, but thankfully even THEY’RE not too busy to give back a little (so what does that say about your lazy ass?).

The foursome are taking part in this year’s Sport Relief, a charity event in the UK that brings together the worlds of entertainment and sports to raise money for those most in need. Every time they do this, there’s an official single (usually a cover with a matching funny video), and they attract some rather large stars to sing along, with past participants like Robbie Williams, Leona Lewis, Elton John, JLS, etc. etc.

The British girl group are this year’s chosen ones, and they’ve covered “Word Up!”, a top ten hit from way back in 1986. I think they do justice to the Cameo song, not just making it as boisterous as it was the first time around (and almost just as 80’s!), but by having so much fun in the clip. In fact, the song has been a hit in the UK three times--once with the original, once with someone named Gun (???), and lastly with Melanie from the Spice Girls (who is in the video!!!).

Sales of the song go to charity, so I’m hoping this is a smash for the girls as well.
