English-Irish girl group The Saturdays channeling their inner "Desperate Housewives" before dressing up as their male alter egos in the music video for their weird-amazing new single, "Gentleman," the third single to be taken from the group's upcoming fourth studio album, which rumored to be called "The Chase" and scheduled for release this Summer. The video is a nice complement to the song, and a perfect recreation inspired by the TV promo "Desperate Housewives," as they even dress up as the opposite sex - although nothing can hide their femininity.
Written by Priscilla Renea and produced by Ambience. The tongue-in-cheek track "Gentleman," is a contemporary take on the Nineties urban pop sound, with intricate harmonies and a fast-paced, upbeat flow, hears the five-piece complain about how finding a gentleman to date is difficult in modern society. It a funky little tune, with a spoken-word bit that evokes Girls Aloud built around the following largely inexplicable hook. Undoubtedly one of the biggest girl bands in the UK, the multimillion selling pop group, are now set to continue their remarkable run of success since forming in 2008.
Instead, they throw shade at a guy who not only cheats on his girlfriend but can't commit even after "you got his baby." The retro-flavored cut sees Una Healy, Frankie Sandford, Rochelle Humes, Mollie King and Vanessa White on the hunt for the perfect man but they lament a concept seemingly stuck in a lost decade, so 1999. In a surreal musical turn in their trajectory, the girls have decided to leave their dance-pop sound of the last hit single "What About Us" to enter in the world of urban R&B/Funky/Pop where the girls dare even pseudo-rapping. Still, they deliver an entertaining and funky rap bit at the end.
The Rana Rizwan-directed clip vaguely resembles a 'Desperate Housewives' trailer, sees the girls not only as glamorous housewives but also dressed as their male love interests in masculine suits and hats. The Girls get sexy as Housewives and prance around an ordinary-looking suburban block in Eva Longoria-esque skimpy outfits in sexy ensembles, as they garden, hang up laundry, out drinking and gambling, and perform other domestic tasks, the "What About Us" singers coo about wanting a quality boyfriend/husband/partner. The girls go back to their feminine side after dressing up as men. The concept fits the song effectively. We like. Somewhat.
