When this band first appeared on the scene their music and their looks did nothing to grab my attention - I had never seen such strange looking girls in all my life - Siobhan was a very plain Jane, Mutya was strangely oriental and Keisha was probably the best of all and that was saying something - and the music wasn't too wonderful either.

Siobhan Donaghy, Mutya Beuna and Keisha Buchanan were the original members of the Sugababes. Siobhan left the band in 2001 and was replaced by Liverpudlian Heidi Range who was much easier on the eye and whose voice complimented the girls perfectly.

In August 2002 the new line up released their first album "Angels With Dirty Faces" and it reached a high spot of No.2 in the album charts.
The band appeared to have undergone a makeover - one which was very much needed - although this is no way helped Mutya who needs nothing short a complete facial overhaul in my opinion.

Anyway, here they were with a new look image and some great new singles which would boost their careers ten fold.

This young all girl group were the first group of their kind, their music is described as being a mix of R 'n' B and Garage. A band with attitude and who dare to be different.

A lovely mix of voices and ethnic backgrounds makes them unique and a pleasure to listen to.


TRACKS........


1. Freak Like Me

The first single released by the new look Sugababes and the first song on the album. Anyone who is a Gary Newman Fan will recognise the snippets from his 80's electric pop single "Are Friends Electric". "Freak Like Me" was originally a hit for Adina Howard in 1995 and the Sugababes teamed up with her on this single to do a revised version incorporating the infamous "Are Friends Electric" instrumental.

This has to be my favourite track on the album.


2. Blue

More electro pop here - not one of the best tracks on the album.


3. Round Round

Electro pop and a bit of R 'n' B - wonderful vocals especially the solo from Heidi - a sexy song which sums up the Sugababes quite well I think.

Another of my favourites a real get up and strut your stuff kind of record with a very catchy chorus.


4. Stronger

Good beat to this one with a very catchy chorus.


5 Supernatural

Quite funky this one with a good sexy beat to it.


6. Angels With Dirty Faces.

Another Pop offering and one with a catchy chorus like most of the tracks on this album.


7. Virgin Sexy

Pop/Rock this one - very sexy!


8. Shape

This song includes the vocals of Sting and a sampling of his track "Shape of my Heart" - a good Rap feel to this one with a bit of R 'n' B thrown in for good measure - nice track.


9. Just Don't Need This


10. Breathe Easy


11.Switch


12. More Than A Million Miles


VERDICT...........

The further into the album you go the weaker the tracks in my opinion but on the whole a damn good listen.

A good mix of Pop, Rock, Soul, Easy Listening - a fine album and one well worth adding to the collection.

sounds like quite a good album...............davina

I have this album and love it. It's one of my favourites and has some really great songs on it. What depresses me though is how young they all are. Dare I say that I am almost ( yes almost ) old enough to be their mother !!! Jo x
