Girls Aloud have dismissed all rumours of retirement by debuting a new single over the weekend. Sexy No No No went down a storm at T4 on the Beach, where the girls performed the track for the first time.
??
It's from their fourth studio LP, described by Nadine as "a progression from the Greatest Hits album", which many critics thought would be their last. "We haven't got a name for it yet," Nadine explained. "We usually decide after we've got a few singles and kind of sense where the album is going, and we usually pick then what it's going to be called."
??
The single Sexy No No No is released in September.

The Scissor Sisters have joined forces with Kylie Minogue on their third album. The flamboyant group spent twelve hour days in the recording studio with the pop superstar while they worked on a series of tracks.
??
Frontman Jake Shears says, "We definitely work her really hard in the studio, from midday to midnight... although sometimes we pepper it with a shopping trip in between. We've written songs with her that are ridiculous and may never see the light of day. We've also written songs with her that I think are amazing but they may never see the light of day either."
??
Scissor Sisters last collaborated with Kylie Minogue on her 2004 song I Believe In You.
