Ellie Campbell - Don't Want You Back

[fahad]

hey everyone, I'm a HUGE max martin fan, since forever. has anyone heard this song, I think it sounds too much of a max martin song, sadly it's not, but hey, at least it reminds me of something that Britney could sing.

Hi fahad, welcome to the forum!

No, i haven't heard the song, I've never even heard of Ellie Cambell - where is she from?

Hey fahad!
Yes, welcome to the forum
You will like it here as a Max fan no doubt.

I found the video of the song on youtube

And I must say, yes it's very Cheiron and catchy. The beats are almost 1:1 like "Baby one more time".

But it works very well for that song

Very nice background vocals too.

I like this song. Veeeeeery cheiron sound!!!!!

Similar to ops i did it again. Lovely when she says BYE BYE BABY 'Cos I'm BETTER THAN THAT!!!
Some news about Ellie?

[turnaround]

I wish there was, but it's hard to find anything about her.

She was at Jive, released an album, mostly Topham/Twigg -    Pete Waterman

Sadly this wasn't a success at all



It peaked at #44 in Australia

Another single "   So Many Ways" peaked at #26 in the UK.

But never heard it.

Suspicion

Ellie's "Don't Want You Back", and many of her other tracks came out of Pete Waterman's 'Hit Factory' in the UK...

Song credits: Written by Topham/Twigg;
Produced by Topham/Twigg/Waterman

It was definitely written in the Cheiron Britney/BSB-style, but was a great track and deserved to be a much bigger success

I think that's pretty embarrassing because they tried so hard to rip it off completely...

Hey davegeenz,
also you, very welcome to the boards!  

[Rebecca]

Welcome to the boards Davegeenz, thanks for the songwriter info!

Oh god I looooove Don't Want You Back soooo much it's one of my favourite CHALLENGE hit of all time,I love her album as well specially "Say What You Mean".

Ellie didn't make it because she was compared to Britney since she came out in the same era....

[Rebecca]

I only just listened to this song - it's great, I totally remember it now. of course a total rip-off of the Cheiron style but still good.

The album is not as good as the song!
