Whoever thought that there’d be a “malaria anthem” as hot as this? While it’s no “Insatiable,” “Promise This” is a decent return-to-form for Cheryl Cole. “Promise This” is the first single off of Cole’s forthcoming sophomore album, Messy Little Raindrops and is a nice, up-tempo dance/pop track that “celebrates her victory over malaria.” While the track was actually written months ago, the timing couldn’t be more perfect to release it as a single now. Messy Little Raindrops is shaping up to be even more “commercial” than Cole’s will.I.Am-heavy debut album 3 Words, as she is rumored to be clocking studio time with the likes of Ryan Tedder, Mark Ronson, Jim Beanz, Ne-Yo and more. While all of those guys are fine and good, I’m REALLY excited about planned collaborations with Ellie Goulding and electro producer Starsmith. FIRE! “Promise This” is due out on October 25th and is backed by remixes from Almighty and Nu Addiction.

Oh and apparently it’s already been confirmed that Cole’s second single will be called “The Flood.” More information to follow. Looks like Cheryl Cole is BACK! Hopefully with her reported U.S. X-Factor duties combined with UK X-Factor and her upcoming new album release, she doesn’t overdo it and exhaust herself. I’m rooting for you Cheryl!
