Editorial Reviews
From the Label
The UK's premier girl group are set for a triumphant return with the release of Taller in More Ways. Amazingly, for a group who have just turned 20, this will be Sugababes’ fourth studio album. Sugababes have collaborated, for the first time on the new record, with some of the best producers and writers in the business; Dallas Austin (TLC, Madonna, Pink), Guy Sigsworth (Madonna, Britney Spears), and Cathy Dennis (Kylie). Mutya, Keisha and Heidi have also continued their long-standing working relationship with Brian Higgins, Cameron McVeigh (All Saints) and Johnny Rockstar (Robbie Williams) to produce their most accomplished album to date.
CD Description
'Taller In More Ways' is the fourth album from three piece girl group Sugababes. The album features guest production and songwriting from the likes of Dallas Austin, Cathy Dennis and Johnny Rockstar and sees the girls moving into more sophisticated pop territory whilst still keeping hold of the experimental edge for which they have become known. The singles'Push The Button' and 'Ugly' are also featured.
Customer Reviews
This album wipes the floor clean with 'Three'
I purchased this album while travelling in the UK. After being a little dissapointed from the babes' last album which had a few fillers i wasn't expecting as much for this album. Man was i so wrong.
1. Push The Button 3.5/5
When i first heard the song i didn't really like it. But hearing the song 10 times later and it starts to grow, and is still growing on me. Has a real electronica feel to it.
2. Gotta Be You 3.5/5
Showcasing there attempt at Rnb. I've never been that much of a fan of RnB, but the girls did ok with this one. American girl Ciara was suppose to do this song.
3. Follow Me Home 5/5
Bloody Great. Personally the Best up-tempo ballad that they have done! Kind of like a part 2 of 'Too Lost In You'.
4. Joy Division 4/5
When i first heard it seemed quite bland. But got into it after a few listens. The babes' voices are superb.
5. Red Dress 4/5
An unforgettable pop track. Personally this should have been the first single from this album.
6. Ugly 5/5
Soon to be released in December. A beautiful awesome ballad. The words are meaningful and suppose to represent the babes' breaking from girls into young women. Reminds me of TLC 'Unpretty' but has way more feel to it. Great.
7. It Ain't Easy 4/5
Very 'Clunk' beat with an up-tempo feel to it. Once you listen to it, you can't help yourself but move your head up and down while jumping on the spot.(By the way, it sounds like the song off ex sugababe Siobhan Donaghys' 'Revoultion In Me. A song called 'Dialect'.) Quite unique for them and its definately one of the growers. Has a goldfrapp feel to it.
8. Bruised 5/5
2nd fav track on the album. Great, sexy beat, love the drums and suspence of it. Sugababes at there best!
9. Obsession 3.5/5
A good remake (The original done by Animotion). However it doesn't give you the 'wow' factor. They didn't add any 'suga' flavor to it. But still good all the same.
10. Ace Reject 5/5
Bloody amazing. My fav from the album The song is very dark, moody and shows the sugababes' true class at hand.
11. Better 4/5
Love the acoustic guitar in this. Sounds a little like Jamelias' Thank You. Another grower.
12. 2 Hearts 4.5/5
Another Gem. Love the chorus and sensational instrumental at the end. Showcasing the lush side of the babes' voices.
So i recommend... no EXPECT you to purchase this album. You will not be dissapointed. Trust me.. The best since 'One Touch' era.
Lets take the sugababes to #1 in the UK Album chart. With a superb album like this, to showcase their real talents as the best girl pop band in the world!
Bigger & Better
After 'Three' I was hoping for something special from the Babes, and here you have it. There are at least 8 out of 12 tracks here that would be worthy of release as a single..
There is a more foot tapping up tempo feel to 'Taller in More Ways' which will go down well with fans, old and new.
Here are a few of my favourites, but each track on the album has its own distinct flavour.
Track 1 - Push the Button - Fantastic, huge hit already, enough said! 9/10
Track 5 - Red Dress - They must release this, this is by far the best track on the album, this would be a massive hit and played in clubs across the Country. 10/10
Track 6 - Ugly - The next single? A meaty ballad, with amazing lyrics. very catchy. 9/10
Track 8 - Bruised - Love this track, nice mid tempo number, again very thoughtful lyrics, have had this tune rolling around in my head all day.
Track 9 - Obsession - Wow! An reworking of an 80's hit, the girls do it justice and imprint their own 'babes' stamp onto it. Another #1 contender.
All the above, and the rest come together to make the babes best album yet, this will be playing down you headphones for a long time to come.. Well done girls!
The Best Sugababes Album Yet!
Well, where do I start? I suppose some people might say I'm biased, having been a huge Sugababes fan since 2000 when Overload was released. I do genuinely think this is their best album yet though. It just feels so much more mature than anything they've produced before. Here's what I think of the individual tracks;
1. PUSH THE BUTTON - fantastic first single. Don't need to say much more than that 9/10.
2. GOTTA BE YOU - brilliant track. Single material but doubt it will be released 9/10.
3. FOLLOW ME HOME - big ballad, but not quite as good as Too Lost In You 8/10.
4. JOY DIVISION - good, but not brilliant. It grows on you after a while but is a bit like No Man No Cry on Angels With Dirty Faces 7/10.
5. RED DRESS - fun, lively track. Two choruses in one song make it extra-catchy 9/10.
6. UGLY - what a gorgeous song! Beautifully written and sung by the girls 9/10.
7. IT AIN'T EASY - love this!! Well funky track. Love the 'oh oh oh' bit in the chorus! 10/10.
8. BRUISED - cool track. Quite laid back but still bouncy 8/10.
9. OBSESSION - fantastic cover of an 80s track. Absolutely excellent 10/10.
10. ACE REJECT - really really catchy number. Takes a while to get to the chorus but overall, it's really good 9/10.
11. BETTER - very nice song. Quite different to any other Sugababes track. Cool chorus 8/10.
12. 2 HEARTS - fantastic end to a brilliant album. REALLY good track 10/10.
Overall, an excellent album with more than a hint of the 80s! I think the girls' voices blend together better than ever on this album and the combination of songs work really well. A must have!
