The group\u2019s performance of \u201cControl of the Knife,\u201d filmed at London\u2019s O2 Arena during their 2008 Tangled Up Tour, is now available to watch on their official YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cControl of the Knife\u201d is featured on the pop group\u2019s fourth album Tangled Up, released in 2007 via Polydor.<\/p>\n<p>The band has been unveiling a number of classic performances previously stashed away in their vault. In August alone, the band shared live O2 Arena videos of tracks like \u201cCall the Shots,\u201d \u201cSexy! No No No,\u201d \u201cClose To Love,\u201d and \u201cBlack Jacks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a 2013 interview with Wales Online, the group discussed how the album took shape, particularly honing in on their relationship with producer Brian Higgins. Nicola Roberts explained, \u201cBrian takes inspiration from all that, so it\u2019s important he\u2019s up to date with where we are. Our songs have to reflect us so that\u2019s why we do it. After that, songs are written, demos are recorded and ideas are swapped. Normally, a Girls Aloud album will be recorded in a matter of weeks, but Tangled Up took much longer.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>The following Tangled Up Tour encompassed 35 shows across two legs. The arena trek included stops in Belfast, Glasgow, Manchester, Edinburgh, and London, where Girls Aloud performed two nights at the O2 Arena.\n<\/p>\n<p>More recently, in 2024, members Cheryl, Nadine Coyle, Roberts, and Kimberley Walsh reunited for The Girls Aloud Show tour, which marked their emotional return following Sarah Harding\u2019s death in 2021. The run honored more than two decades of Girls Aloud and featured five shows at London\u2019s O2 Arena.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, when the band unveiled the live video version of \u201cCall The Shots,\u201d they also confirmed a deluxe reissue of Tangled Up. Alongside B-sides, alternative mixes, and remixes, the new edition includes two previously unheard tracks: \u201cWhat\u2019s A Girl To Do\u201d and \u201cMy Heart.\u201d It is available in three versions: a colored vinyl, a picture disc, and a 3CD set.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\" https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@GirlsAloud\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Watch the video for \u201cControl of the Knife\u201d here.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Girls Aloud are back with another instantly memorable live video from their archive.
