Girls Aloud - Sound Of The Underground © UMG 2023
When it comes to debut singles, it doesn't get more iconic than Girls Aloud's Sound Of The Underground.
To celebrate the band's 20th anniversary, we remastered the iconic music video in true ultra-high definition 4K.
As part of the anniversary celebrations, the record label also released an "alternative vocal mix" of the song on streaming platforms for the first time.
While exploring the rushes for the remastered video, we were super excited find that director Phil Griffin had recorded each of the girls singing every line of the song - so we were able to produce an "alternative vocal mix video" too!
In total, the band recorded about four hours of footage and there were so many beautiful moments to squeeze into the video.
Each section of the shoot is given its moment to shine: the performance, the slow motion, the glitter drop. There are fewer fast-paced cuts so we can soak up every moment and bask in the glory of Girls Aloud.
The film negatives were rescanned in true 4K - giving fans a crystal-clear look into the past - and the final edit was colour graded to closely match the original music video.
