Catfights and Spotlights



It's alright.
Not much of a progression. And definitely not as instant as 'Change'.
Pretty ballad-heavy too...
But some really good standout songs here.
Namely the ones where I become more and more in love with chavvy chocolate-voice Amelle.
Love ya.


Sunday Rain
Very... film noir?
Sugababes drama at it's best, but with the 60's tint that seems to be trickling through the album.
Bit of a weak chorus, the verses are definitely where this shines.

They say love's a many splendoured thing
We've made a mess of everything
It's left me wondering
If it's just a picture postcard
Made to teach you
Some place that you're never gonna go
You're never gonna know
You give all your heart and got nothing to show


Beware
A shining example of the running theme in this album.
Sugababes do a Bond theme, if you like.
And it DEFINITELY works.
Dark, brooding, and a fantastic show of how far they have vocally come.

Growing darkness
Go break your bread with sinners
And come winter
Go on and tread the thin ice.


Every Heart Broken
Lyrically... a bit of a joke.
And probably the third single, by the looks of it.
If so, could be accompanied by an awesome video.
Again, Amelle steals the show.
S'alright.

Boy seven was the don of all Sicilly
Try and kiss and tell a man so naughty
Now he sleeps with the fishes
Arrivederche, baby

Last boy was a director of the silver screen
He went and wrote a slasher flick just for me
When he said cut
I took it literally

My Soul in a Small Black Box
