CD Description
'Change' is the fifth album from Sugababes, one of the mostsuccessful all girl groups in UK history. Their numerous personnel changes haven't prevented Sugababes gaining increased success since their 2001 debut, and their vocal range and style has become more distinctive with every release. 'Change' is a mixture of R&B, pop, dance and, surprisingly, rock. Singles include 'About You Now', an all out pop song with the trademark hooks that have won them so many fans.

Customer Reviews

SUPA
i wasnt sure whether i would really like this album as ive never been a big fan of the Sugababes but i loved there new single About you Now and cant stop playing it, i also like Never Gonna Dance Again and Love is Pink which are really upbeat pop/dance songs. an all round good buy! 5 stars

a change is as good as a rest!
the new sugababes album dropped through the letterbox yesterday along with annie lennox and gabrielles new cds and they havent had a look in so far!

the album is pretty much the same as all the other albums full of brilliantly sung, written and produced tracks. its full of brilliant pop numbers, dance tracks and big ballads - nothing new - but it has more of a solid flow

track by track

"about you now" went straight to number one. it reminds me of pink for some reason...its rock/pop dance and maybe more sugary than anything they have done before....its not one of my favourites but is a good song 7/10

"never gonna dance again" is outstanding and will hopefully be a single! a standout track on the album 10/10

"denial" is another brilliant track..it has more guitars than we have had on a sugababes track..another possible single! 9/10

"my love is pink" is fast and furious (aka girls aloud who would have killed for this track) a brill pop dance track with a rock feel and all the attitude the girls can deliver 10/10

"change" must be the next single released in time for christmas or ill eat my copy of the cd! its a big! its beautiful! its got a festive backing! 9/10

"Back when" is a strong mid tempo track delivered in true sugababes fashion! 9/10

"surprise" has an electro pop rock feel and is another strong track 8/10

"back down" has a reggae backing and is the weakest track on the album 5/10

"mended by you" is another big ballad the girls do so well 8/10

"3 spoons of suga" is similar to "red dress" its full of attitude with a great dance backing and attitude 9/10

"open the door" reminds me of the fugees! a great mid tempo funk track 9/10

"undignified" is the closing track and a lovely pop rock track!

the album has more of a guitar feel than than the previous albums but it works....the core elements that make the girls stand out in the pop field are still in place! and amelle fits in well..in fact you cant tell the difference between her and mutya!

a brilliant album!

In short, what British pop in 2007 should sound like...
In the old days, before we were all engrossed in a generation of downloaders and MySpace hunters, and when record companies had more money to throw around in the golden age of MP:UK (manufactured pop UK, as the Sunday Times Culture guide labelled it), manufactured pop bands would, more often than not, have to split after three or four albums and a greatest hits - basically, it was a death knell to each individual members' future career - all to release flop solo albums, and then appear in some panto in Worthing with Christopher Biggins and some so called "actress" from The Bill/Footballers' Wives etc or a third rate, car crash reality TV show with David Hasselhoff or similar, dampening their public credibility forever more.

Now, in times when pop bands are few and far between, this doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Sugababes are one such band, and in spite of no less than two line up changes in the past 7 years, they have surpassed everyone's expectations, as now, joining One Touch, Angels With Dirty Faces, Three, Taller In More Ways and last years' best of package Overloaded: The Singles Collection to their albums CV is their fifth studio album, Change. The title, like all the others before it, reflects numerous shifts in the band - they're all in their 20's now, it's their first album with still relatively new member Amelle Berrabah, and more importantly, it just so happens to be the best album of their career to date.

Opening on the record company proclaimed, Cathy Dennis penned "spanking new single" (and it really is) "About You Now", which as I write is set to shoot in at #1 this afternoon on downloads alone, they establish themselves as the new queens of squelchy, catchy electropop perfection - it's a song that has all the makings of their biggest hits, while taking on something brilliantly different at the same time. This isn't the only standout though - as once again, Xenomania pop back up to contribute "My Love Is Pink" (which, on it's title alone, surely has to be a great song anyway, which it is) and track 2, "Never Gonna Dance Again", which, largely because of the paradox of sweet and breezy dance pop and gritty, doomed relationship based lyrics like "I lost the music when you said it's over" makes it one of their most clever efforts to date.

Also worth a mention is the eponymous "3 Spoons Of Suga", which has many similarities between the title track from their second album, "Denial", penned by Novel (Stacie Orrico, P!nk) and which makes more than a passing nod to the Gossip's "Standing In The Way Of Control" while remainingly delightfully hummable, and the album's title track, a rousing, emotive little 60's style ballad which will surely join "New Year" and "Too Lost In You" as one of their finest slow numbers (and it should, after all, this is the next single).

In short, if you're after an album of what British pop in 2007 should sound like, this is it. Keisha, Heidi and Amelle have struck gold again, and have set a high quality precedent many will have to pull their sleeves up for to follow.
