Full of funky guitar, Can't Speak French is the 3rd single from the Girls' simply amazing album - Tangled Up. The album was clearly one of the best of 2007 and with all the critics proclaiming this song as yet another pop classic in the making for the Girls, you could totally see why they went with it for a single.
It's infectious, very radio-friendly and plus, how could you not fall in love with a song where the first line is 'i wait underneath the covers all night beside you' - Nadine once again delivers a flawless vocal performance and by the time the chorus kicks in with all the Girls, you find yourself, as with all of their singles, totally addicted.
Along with the video and the impressive French language version of the song, you also get the haunting Passions mix on here - one of their most adventurous yet, it's dark and brooding and packs a killer bassline. Amazing!
I'm also really glad they decided to put their cover of Robyn's number one hit - With Every Heartbeat - on here too. Recorded for Radio 1's live lounge, it showcases some of the Girls best vocals ever. With dreamy piano and harmonies it's a magical track and fantastic extra to this CD.

the french version of "cant speak french" was a bold move by the girls and the record company and despite the french teacher not making it particularly easy for the girls to get the right dialect the girls sing this french version like its their own language and my god they sound sexy (YES YES YES.....) singing this as they do it so well, this is an excellent version of "cant speak french" which i cant recommend enough. The cover of "with every heartbeat" (recorded c/o radio one live lounge) is quite different to robyn's recent version but is arguably much better as its sung much more softly and thus sounds much better for it.

I've seen a lot of these girls in the Brit mags but other than Sarah Harding...being Sarah Harding and Cheryl Cole nee Tweedy's drama with Ashley, I didn't see what all the fuss was about. Heard this song the other day on an XM Euro pop station and instantly fell in love with it! Very funky indeed. Slick guitar riffs, great beat, nice harmonies and fun to sing along with. I hope this song gets more play here in the States.
