I love the girls, but I'm hoping with these new singer-songwriters that ithe material reflects more of them as 20somethings.

I had high hopes for these girls, but Salute was terrible. Here's to hoping they bounce back.

It's basicaly them "recording" though you only hear 6 seconds of the song. So hard to make out aside from words. But almost have sense wings type sound , time will tell for sure.

I hope it follows the dance pop direction of "Black Magic".

They killed this.

I like "Love Me Like You". Very Phil Spector.

[Live Your Life]

The song is good, but I don't think it's the right choice for a single.

Better than 5th Harmony.

New tracks are fucking awesome.

[leonagwen]

Love me like you A listed on both Radio 1 and radio 2 in the Uk.Performing on UK X Factor Sunday Nov 1st. Also performing on GMA in the Usa on Nov 5th.

[Glove Slap]

Their album is #1 in the UK midweeks, but is expected to be their lowest opening week numbers-wise.

[Illusions]

Love the new album! Officially my favorite album from them, so far.

Oh my God. "Weird People" is even more 80s than "Black Magic". This has a handful of really excellent pop songs.

[YourFaveIsAFlop]

There a few songs on the album that if sung by somebody like Katy Perry could hit. It's not an awful album, but it's very gimmicky (as are they)

[AP]

Secret Love Song Part II is just gorgeous. :'( Vocals for days and that chorus is infectious. Shame the original is bogged down by such cheesy production + Jason Derulo's weak ass vocals.

All Music gives the album 3.5/5 stars:

The third album from Britain's Little Mix, 2015's Get Weird finds the former X-Factor champions delivering a set of bright, robustly produced songs that straddle the line between '80s synth pop and cutting-edge, contemporary R&B. Once again featured in Little Mix are singers Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jade Thirlwall. Rather than being a homogenous group centered around one stand-out vocalist, Little Mix are all vivacious performers blessed with highly resonant voices that are well-matched to each other. Complementing their abilities this time out are a handful producers including Electric, Nathan Duvall, and Maegan Cottone. Having such a large cadre of producers/songwriters behind the scenes on a big pop album isn't too surprising. What is surprising, however, is just how ear-poppingly catchy Get Weird is. There's a kinetic energy to many of the tracks on Get Weird that brings to mind the arty '80s dance-pop of bands like Yello crossed with the crisp, bluesy soulfulness of Robert Palmer. In fact, cuts like "Black Magic" and "Weird People," with their foot-pounding beats, Day-Glo synths, and crystalline vocal production, sound pleasingly like they could have been recorded by Stock, Aitken & Waterman in 1986. Similarly, even when Little Mix move in a more hip-hop-style direction, they do it with a decade-smashing sense of adventure. To these ends, "Hair" sounds like Beyonce backed by Japanese Kodo drummers and the saucy "OMG," brings to mind Rihanna fronting '80s synth pop duo Soft Cell. Elsewhere, Little Mix borrow a bit of pop zeitgeist from Meghan Trainor and jump even further back in time, referencing the "All About That Bass" singer's '60s girl group sound for "Love Me Like You Do" and "A.D.I.D.A.S." Ultimately, Little Mix's stylish, decade-blending synergy works, and Get Weird ends up being a lot of fun.

Entertainment Weekly gives the album a B-:

The title of the third LP from this prefab X Factor group suggests a set of out-there pop. Too bad the quartet play it safe with glossy anthems, misty-eyed ballads, and rowdy pep-rally stompers. One highlight: The ladies let their freakiness shine on the thrilling, Prince-style party-starter “Weird People.” B–

This is definitely their best album. I agree that it's a great pop record. Perrie, in particular, has a great voice. Jesy's voice could be good, but I just can't take the squeaking thing she does or her warbly vibrato.
