Girls Can't Catch - Echo

"Echo" is the second single from Girls Can't Catch. Their debut album will be released sometime in early 2010 and doesn't have a title, but the girls have been promoting their two singles. Their first single, "Keep Your Head Up" is a great track and has a great beat and tempo that changes, which makes the song super catchy and clever. I really love their cover of Daniel Merriweather's hit "Red". In that acoustic performance, the girls show that they can sing and perform an emotional ballad.

I've taken a few listens to "Echo" and it is starting to grow on me. It's not an instant hit, like I think "Keep Your Head Up" was. The song starts off a bit slow, but it does  pick up. Girls Can't Catch takes pop songs and adds their own spin to it - I can't really describe it. "Echo" sounds like many pop songs, but yet, it sounds different. I really like the chorus, and the effects of the echos - ha! It's a good mid-tempo ballad, and I do like it, but it's missing something. While I like it and it's growing on it, I'm not over the moon about it. I will add it to my playlist, but it won't be on repeat. I'm curious and want to hear more from Girls Can't Catch.

Girls Can't Catch Meets Daniel Merriweather's "Red"

Earlier, you all were introduced to Girls Can't Catch, and Daniel Merriweather.

Now, here's Girls Can't Catch covering Daniel Merriweather's song "Red".




I really love this version. It is simple and smooth. The vocals and harmonies are easy on the ears. And I really like that it is stripped and raw - it fuels the emotions of the song. It also draws more attention to the lyrics. I'm also partial to female vocals on ballads, so this version is slightly better than the original for me. In fact, it was only after hearing this version that I realized how special of a song it was.

Girls Can't Catch - Keep Your Head Up

Girls Can't Catch is a new pop trio from the UK. The three members are Daizy, Jess, and Phoebe. Phoebe is an amazing singer, and was on the X-Factor two seasons ago in the girl band Hope. While Hope didn't win the competition, Phoebe always delivered.

Their single, "Keep Your Head Up" is one of my favorites at the moment. The beat and rhythm are very interesting, they keep changing tempo and is all over the place, but it still works. It's a really fast paced song, but still really slow. The chorus is brilliant - it's simple, catchy and fun. The bridge is also very good. It's a great moment in the song, and again, Phoebe delivers. I also really like the dance elements.

This is a great song to sing along and dance to while driving to work in the morning.
