...track. 9.5/10 2. One Foot In [3:25] This song again has a good intro with more higher pitched whirring then accompanied but a base riff. There is then a great guitar accompaniment in the song when one of the girls sing which picks up on the major chords in the tune. The girls again accompany the lead well in harmony. The song is a real grower and soon it will have you singing along. The song is more of a rock/pop and urban track with various samples ... ...that this would be the one they release as this would be a very popular track and should get them more fans. I am surprised they haven?t released it so far! Great stuff. 10+/10 4. Just Let It Go [5:01] This track is again adding a different texture to the album. It is mellower than the rest and is more RnB in feel it also reminds me of a slightly Spanish song as the acoustic Spanish guitar provides a great accompaniment. The song has great voices ...

Advantages: Classy pop tunes. Nice, talented British band. Disadvantages: Only 50 minutes worth of music. A few weak links.
...know it's destination It's a one way ticket to a mad man situation” but after a few listens. This track grew on me, there was this blend of the driving beat and class about it, I was put off slightly by the colourful video, but by then the Sugababes had earned my respect and the song sold 200,000 singles.
+2 One Foot In
An average pop offering, I suppose they try to make a garage tune that can be sold as pop. The chorus is nice:
“One ... ...Go “He was the one for me
He made me feel alright
Now everything's gone wrong
We where so tight”
Sets the scene and then the song is really beautiful, “just let it go” and why… “As soon as you get over him you'll find the sweetest friend” Then it rebounds back to the beginning, and then more reasoning, fairly unique. I think this is a beautiful song, shame it’s a little repetitive towards the end, ...

...and Mutya. Their debut album One Touch was released at the end of last year, after the sucsess of their debut single "Overload" which entered the UK charts at number 6. a track by track review.
Overload
A fantastic start to the album, incredable and original lyrics are used in this great song, which ends with an amazing guitar riff. Interesting fact about the song, it was recorded in one take on a live mic! 10/10
One Foot In
A song about complications ... ...over you one minute and rejects you the next. The girls, being as cool as ever are saying that they arnt gonna take it! Another great song, which is alot of peoples faves. I cant however see it as a single.
8/10
Same Old Story
A UK Garage influenced track of the album, of which i bet Craig David wishes he had written. The song, is about someone who lies over and over and once you've had enough of it, you should chuck them. A fast and brilliant ...

Advantages: Mature, polished, slickly produced and excellently performed debut, brimming with fabulous tunes. An array of musical influences make for a diverse and original effort Disadvantages: the limited subject matter of love may not appeal to the more literary among you, but still written intelligently and originally
...your average teeny-bopper but certainly one that everyone will enjoy. These teen girls are truly talented, writing infectious melodies and performing them with a professionalism beyond their years.
The album begins with the now well-known "Overload" a whirling buzz of pop excellence. Track 2, "one foot in" tells a story of a half-hearted boyfriend. And these girls take no slack. Not unlike the recent penchant for man-hating anthems (Destiny's Child ... ...sound to this one. One of the less catchy tracks and an unusual choice for a single, but never-the-less it is a good track. The title track, "One Touch" has an unusual guitar intro and is more experimental than other tracks on the album, still a corker though. Another song about boys, but what else do 16 year old girls have to talk about?! Lush is a repetitive, funky track with an echoing vocal, not the strongest of the album. Real Thing is an upbeat, ...

Advantages: Great Album From Talented Girls Disadvantages: No disadvantages, sorry
...Their debut album One Touch just stands out from the crowd; their album is sooo different from every other girl band out there, these girls a not another B*Witched or atomic Kitten they are in a class of their own. They have been compared to All Saints and to be honest I can see the resemblance to All Saints but they are just totally different at the same time! The album opener ‘Overload’ is definitely the best song on the album, it is ... ...the rest of this amazing album. Moving on the amazing songs don't stop, 'One Foot In' ups the tempo slightly before 'Same Old Story' gets the beat slightly higher than a two-step garage feel, this song explodes, it feels like you should be at a club when it’s playing! Then suddenly the tempo drops and we get to some very seductive ballads, 'Just Let It Go' and 'Look At Me'. 'Look At Me' could easily be a single. At the end of the song the girls ...

Advantages: No bad tracks Disadvantages: Not enough tracks
...I love this album. Its one of those cds you can listen to all the way through without having to skip any boogur tracks. It's chilled out, yet each song is distinctive, making it easy and pleasurable to listen to. *~* I have to admit, i was at first skeptical of the sugababes. I was one of the first to giggle when i heard their first song 'Overload'. But, when their second song 'New year' came out, I had virtually changed my mind. Im still not too ... ...with more of the songs leaning towards an All Saints style of music.
*~* The highlights of this cd are 'New Year', which is a gorgeous, heartfelt song, 'Soul sound', the new single and 'Promises', an album track which is good to singalong to. *~* If you like the new single 'Soul Sound', i would definatly give this cd a try, because many of the songs are similar in the style of music. If you are unsure of the cd, its definatly worth borrowing it, ...

WHEN I FIRST HEARD OF THE SUGABABES BEING AS YOUNG AS THEY ARE I THOUGHT GREAT THEY WILL BE ANOTHER BRITNEY SPEARS CLONE OR ANOTHER CHEESY POP GROUP BUT HOW WRONG I WAS! THIS ALBUM IS FANTASTIC. THE SOUNDS FROM THE GALS ARE MELLOW CHILLED RELAXED AND CALMING IF I HAD TO COMPARE THEIR MUSIC TO OTHERS I WOULD SAY THEY WERE AN ORIGNAL VERSION OF THE ALL SAINTS BUT MUCH YOUGER AND MUCH FRESHER. THEIR FIRST SINGLE OVERLOAD REALLY DID BLOW ME AWAY HOW ... ...ME BUT THEY HAVE MANAGED IT AND THEY HAVE SUPRISINGLY MANAGED IT WITHOUT BEING CHEESY OR TOO MANUFACTURED AND I THINK THEY ARE GREAT ROLE MODELS AS THEY SEEM SO SOPHISTICATED AND DOWN TO EARTH. THEIR OTHER SINGLES NEW YEAR AND RUN FOR COVER ARE ALSO GREAT TRACKS AND ARE ALL GOOD EXAMPLES OF WHAT THIS ALBUM IS ALL ABOUT. ...
