Angels With Dirty Faces - Tricky

Advantages: Improved vocals (due to change in line up)
Disadvantages: Few cover tracks

...give more of an indication to the ladies voices and own unique sound. For instance Heidi sings a very slow verse towards the end of the song, Mutya's lyrics just seem to be sublime & her voice just compliments the lyrics and finally Keisha just has an incredible voice period. 4. Stronger I really like the beat to this track and has a much more serious tone to the song. This song i think has a very strong message which is that having belief in yourself can be a source of empowerment. 5. Supernatural More of an upbeat song and really funky beat to it. This song always makes me want to dance and just have fun. The music attracted me more compared to the words as it just has some quirkyness to it. 6.

...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.
