Sugababes’ Original Lineup Hit The Studio Together

Fri Jan 6 2012 by Robbie Daw
Ah, Sugababes — a hugely-successful UK act that has even warmed the cockles of a small but loyal legion of followers here in the States. Unfortunately, as the original members of the girlie trio have dwindled one-by-one and been replaced over the course of the band's 14-year history, all we're left with is the shell of a trio that attempted to release a new single last year ("Freedom") — only to have it yanked by the label — and that is pretty much on hold while Heidi Range takes part in Dancing On Ice. Thankfully, the latest reports from across the pond have it that the original 'babes — Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy — are back in the studio! More »

Sugababes Get Sexy Right Now For ‘Loaded’

Tue Aug 16 2011 by Robbie Daw
If there's one thing the girls from Sugababes like to do more than shuffle their lineup, it's getting scantily clad and assuming provocative positions. Case in point: the UK trio's hot-and-sweaty music video for new single "Freedom." If you need more evidence, have a peek at the 'babes on the September cover of British publication Loaded. "The indestructible band might be in its fourth incarnation, but the girls have never looked so good, and we're sure you'll agree when you see Jade, Amelle and Heidi in the mag," says the official Loaded site.

Sugababes Get Bi-Sexy In “Freedom” Video

Tue Aug 9 2011 by Robbie Daw
We've already declared our extreme like for Sugababes' slinky new single "Freedom." Now the UK trio's music video for the electro jam has found its way online, and in it the girls gyrate their way through a club while bumping on boys and girls (mostly girls). It all comes off a bit desperate. Was it really necessary for Heidi, Amelle and Jade to cheapen such a fun song with a "sex sells" video? We'll let you decide. Watch the lusty display below. More »

Sugababes “Freedom”: Hear It In Full

Tue Aug 2 2011 by Robbie Daw
Like a lot of folks, we'd all but written off Sugababes after their disastrous 2009 effort, Sweet 7 — not to mention the ousting of the trio's last original member Keisha Buchanan, and the hiring of Jade Ewan to replace her. But lo and behold, the girls are back with new single "Freedom," which, we're proud to say, is a full-on jam. Break the speed of light with the 'babes below. More »

Ex-Sugababe Covers Beyonce’s “Run The World (Girls)”

Thu Jul 21 2011 by Idolator Staff
Almost two years have passed since Keisha Buchanan was unceremoniously kicked out of the Sugababes, but the 26-year-old is finally ready to forge ahead with a solo career. (A move that was probably timed to coincide with the release of her former group's new single "Freedom"). In a recent London showcase, the "Under Control" singer performed three new songs and a selection of cover versions. Like Nicole Scherzinger before her, Keisha tried her hand at Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" before launching into a cute mash-up of Beyonce's "Run The World (Girls)" and Cyndi Lauper's 80s classic "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Watch the British songstress take on Bey below. More »

Sugababes Offer Up Partial Lyric Video For New Single “Freedom”

Thu Jul 21 2011 by Robbie Daw
After yet another lineup change two years ago, Sugababes's most recent album, Sweet 7, was unceremoniously deep-sixed by music buyers upon its release in the girls' home country of the UK. But all that drama is behind them (or so they hope), and they've got a new label deal and a brand new single called "Freedom." Watch a minute-and-a-half lyric video for the electro-pop track below.

Former Sugababe Keisha Buchanan Has Got It “Under Control”

Thu Jan 13 2011 by Robbie Daw
If you're like us, then you've been wondering exactly what the heck onetime Sugababes member Keisha Buchanan—the last of the UK girl group's original lineup to depart—has been up to since she went off on her own in fall 2009. Well, lo and behold, a sassy pop jam from the songstress called "Under Control" has surfaced. Listen below. More »

Seven Questions With Taio Cruz

Fri Mar 19 2010 by Robbie Daw
British singer/songwriter/producer Taio Cruz is no stranger to the top of the charts in his home country—in addition to his own hit "Break Your Heart" reaching #1 last year, "Never Leave You," a track he wrote for Tinchy Stryder and Sugababes member Amelle Berrabah, also achieved the same feat.

Now Taio has found himself in an enviable position in the States. Recently signed to an American deal with Mercury Records, the 26-year-old Londoner paired up with Ludacris for a reworked version of "Break Your Heart" that managed to shoot to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 last week. (Cruz also set a record for the largest jump on the Hot 100 by an artist with their debut single when "Break Your Heart" flew from #53 to #1.)

After the jump: our Q&A with Britain's latest hot export, who's currently preparing the stateside release of his album Rokstarr. More »

Yep, The Jade Ewen Version Of Sugababes’ “Miss Everything” Bites It, Too

Tue Feb 9 2010 by Robbie Daw
A duet between Sean Kingston and Sugababes—well, that sounds good on paper, right? Er, not really. Alas, such a recording was made for the British trio's delayed album Sweet 7. You can check out the original version of the 'babes/Kingston collabo "Miss Everything," featuring since-ousted member Keisha Buchanan, here.

So now that latest Sugababe Jade Ewen has successfully re-recorded all of Buchanan's vocals for the LP's March release (in Europe), perhaps there's a chance "Miss Everything" has a bit more vim and a bit less Sean Kingston? Well, dare to dream—and check out the updated version below. More »
