“Gentleman” is a song recorded by British pop girl band The Saturdays. The track written by Priscilla Renea and produced by Ambience is confirmed as the second official and third overall single taken from their upcoming fourth studio album rumored to be called “The Chase” that’s scheduled for release this Summer via Fascination, Polydor and Mercury Records. The single was officially premiered on May 9 and it’s scheduled for release on digital retailers on June 30.

On 31 March 2013, British tabloid newspaper The Mirror, published an article in which they reported how body-doubles of the five girls had been cast to appear in the music video for the song. The full music video will be exclusively premiered on VEVO on May 23. This is the first single from the band after getting their first number one in the UK single chart with “What About Us“. Will they manage to repeat the success?

On May 4, the girls released a 15 seconds preview of the single and unveiled a sneak peek of the official artwork. Unfortunetly the full song was leaked online on May 7 before of its official radio premiere. 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. In addition to sound like a cheap and decaf version of Destiny’s Child, (with everything that means), the song hasn’t got a chorus, as they did in their previous single “Notorious“. Not nearly it has the potential to be a hit, but anyway, I ask you to applaud because at least they have risked to evolve or change their stagnant pop sound. But though at first listen leaves you to face “WTF” after listening to the song several times, you end up liking it.
