Sugababes are back with their sixth album, Catfights and Spotlights, and this one could be their best yet.
Sugababes
The album bursts into life with Girls. The latest single sets Sugababes agenda with the line 'All independent women know it takes a lot to run the show. I am the fire and the coal, I am a woman in control.'
Girls set the pace for this sing-a-long album, trust us you'll soon know the words and be tapping your toes to the beat.
You On A Good Day is another stand out song, with lines like, 'You're messed up from you're chromosomes to your enzymes' it shouldn't be good but it really is.
There is a slight lack in up-tempo tracks but the slower songs are still good. They are not exactly ballads, somewhere between the two extremes.
Side Chick, for example is a great example, with tippy, tappy pianos blended with edgy lyrics.
Sugababes slow down the pace on the acoustic version of their hit single, About You Now. It becomes a beautiful ballad showcasing the girls versatility.
The album finishes with one of the best songs, She's Like A Star with Taio Cruz. Although the girls do not really feature for the first half of the song when they do come in the two work well together. There is a real RnB vibe to the track and it's bound to be a future trust.
If the Sugababes can still produce great songs six albums in, we look forward to their next six.
