I was hoping that the crease buried in the background of the cover for the Sugababes’ forthcoming Sweet 7—you know, their attempt to break in America, the one that’s been more marked by intra-band squabbles and exhaustion-occasioned hospital stays and awkward attempts to channel the Pussycat Dolls than for anything resembling good pop—would indicate that it had some sort of Mad Fold-In thing for longtime fans going on, a secret hidden message that said “don’t worry about all this RedOne rubbish, it’ll blow over faster than you can say ‘we’re finally returning Richard X’s calls’.” Alas, all it did was make me a bit more certain that the three ladies were probably in different rooms (and maybe on different continents?) when the photos depicting them studiously not looking at each other were taken. Sigh ugh etc.

I know I’ve posted consistantly on Sugababes threads, but it’s only because my love for them has always felt rather late to the party (I fell in love around the time of "About You Now"’s release several years back) and so I constantly feel like I’m chasing something that no longer exists. I missed Mutya and Siobhan the first time round (although I got to know them and their solo efforts down the road), and so for me, in the beginning, I was attracted to them because of this image. And I know that things change, and people grow artistically, and et cet., but this whole thing is just about the saddest thing I can imagine, pop-wise. And it’s not Keisha’s leaving that made this happen ("Get Sexy" was very much her idea and she was very much enthused about all this Americanization), but good gravy. The cover for "About A Girl" shocked me, and this… well, it’s about time to pack it in, isn’t it? What’s so sad is that an album of Sugababes dance music should have been brilliant, bonkers, out of control. You can be sexy without wearing a bathing suit or a bra on an album cover, but it’s a bit late for lessons I suppose. So long, Heidi.
we’re finally returning Richard X’s calls
Keep RX away from them and closer to SEB and Annie thank you v. much & goodbye.
Yes I am aware that that is all a pipe dream anyway as Sug4babes are… what they are… but there was no need to strike even that tiny bit of fear into my heart.
@NunyaB: Haha, lord, we are so far past Richard X at this point that it’s not even funny (except it still sort of is, or Maura wouldn’t have made the joke). If there is a next album, I anticipate it to be produced by Sam Sparro and every single remixed by Frankmusik, as everyone else will have given up on them by then.
In general I do not post on blogs, however , I would like to state that this post seriously forced me to take some action! really nice post.
Dis Blog is on da for real. Hit em hard and hit em fast, Peace PLAYA
