NADINE COYLE<br />
Bounce Magazine’s Rachel Ducker speaks to Nadine Coyle about her<br />
time in Girls Aloud, motherhood and her new EP...<br />
As one fifth of chart-mauling, award-winning,<br />
expectation-shattering girl band Girls Aloud,<br />
Nadine Coyle has already played her part in<br />
helping redefine pop.<br />
She returned to the music scene late last<br />
year with a brand new song ‘Go To Work’,<br />
now Nadine announces the release of a new<br />
4 track EP and a UK tour, celebrating strong<br />
women.<br />
She will also be hitting the road this May for a<br />
UK and Ireland tour, performing the greatest<br />
hits of Girls Aloud solo, alongside songs from<br />
her forthcoming new album. Pop fans should<br />
rejoice as this tour is set to be the ultimate<br />
party night out this Spring, seeing Nadine<br />
perform such legendary<br />
hits as ‘Sound Of The<br />
Underground’, ‘Love<br />
Machine’, ‘Biology’,<br />
“Something New’ and<br />
‘The Promise’, alongside<br />
new Nadine stormers<br />
such as ‘Go To Work’<br />
and ‘Girls On Fire’.<br />
If each member of the band – who<br />
sashayed their way through a ten-year, five<br />
album career – had a role, then Nadine’s was<br />
The Voice. Often demoing the songs with<br />
Brian ahead of the other girls during the<br />
band’s tenure, it’s always been any<br />
discerning pop fan’s dream for the pair<br />
to collaborate again on Coyle’s<br />
solo material.<br />
The Derry-born singer opens up to Rachel<br />
Ducker, about motherhood and touches upon<br />
her time in Girls Aloud.<br />
R: Hi Nadine, how are you today?<br />
I’m really good how are you Rachel?<br />
R: I’m great… thanks for your time, I know<br />
I don’t have long so I will start with my<br />
questions! When did you realize you had a<br />
passion for singing?<br />
I was really young. I used to sing ‘Saturday<br />
Night at the Movies’ when I was three years<br />
old, I even used to sing the ad-libs on it. My<br />
mummy and daddy were like “what is she<br />
doing?” A, where did she hear this<br />
song, people kissing on the back<br />
seat of the movies, and B where<br />
did she get all of these ad-libs?<br />
Very early on, I just loved singing<br />
and singing songs that I felt<br />
connected to. My dad was a<br />
singer in his spare time, he did<br />
performances and shows, so he got<br />
me and my younger sister involved.<br />
It’s just something I’ve always done.<br />
R: We saw you emerge onto the music scene<br />
through the TV Show ‘Popstars,’ in 2002,<br />
which is where Girls Aloud was formed. Does<br />
it feel like a lifetime ago now?<br />
It really does? It’s almost like a different world.<br />
