One Touch

Sugababes

Edit

The Sugababes' Debut Album "One Touch" Displays a high degree of maturity in the voices of the trio, average age of 16. The album opens with debut single "Overload" - a classic, yet original, pop song, sung with such insincerity, it becomes lozenged into your brain. The albums picks up from the debut single, with "One Foot In," "Same Old Story," "Just Let Go" and "Look At Me." These tracks demonstrate clearly just why the Sugababes are being compared to All Saints. The album goes slightly down hill for "Soul Sound" and "One Touch," but re-gains the classic pop in "Lush Life." "Real Thing" is guitar-R'n'B-pop at it's best, but the Sugababes slow it down a little for their Christmas Ballad "New Year" afterwards. "Promises" - the penultimate track - is quite bittersweet - when looking at the group's ages. The end - "Run For Cover" is the stand out track on the entire album. You can hear many different styles incorporated into the song - a revengeful, heartfelt song. All in all, if this track-by-track listing does not convince you to spend out the money on this wonderful CD, nothing will let you release the hand from your credit card.

Great band name! This album has the original line up of girls. Siobhan later did a Geri Halliwell and abruptly left the band. The Sugababes got in a new girl and have released two other albums, "Angels With Dirty Faces", and "Three".

"One Touch" has cool little choons that sound different from the pop music out now. Not as over the top as The Spice Girls (the best pop group of the 90's), not as schmaltzy as the boyband sound. The girls sound alot older than their 16 years. But their still only under 20 and it can be kinda funny listening to them trying to be all artistic and soul divaish with their vocals. But great singles. Pick this up. The Canadian domestic release has the same cover only black.
