New Music: Little Mix debut new charity single ‘Word Up!’...

The song's saving grace? Probably the use of the original’s heavy guitar riffs. I don't love Little Mix's take on Cameo's 1986 R&B dance classic 'Word Up'. Despite their version being very harmony focused, I can't enjoy simply for the sole reason that it is over-produced and they fail to add anything interesting to the song. It  serves as this year’s BBC Sports Relief single, where proceeds go towards aid in poor countries. Take a listen inside.

Thoughts?
