Sour Note For Sugas

AMELLE Berrabah has found fame to be “brutal” since she became a Sugababe. The sexy singer opened her heart on false reports the girlband are set to replace her, in what would be their third line-up change.

As former member Mutya Buena, 22, performed at the MOBOs, Amelle, 23, said: “What’s shocked me most is how brutal people can be. I’m just trying to keep my head down and get on with it. Before I joined the band I used to think Keisha and Mutya were horrible to Heidi, but now I’ve joined it’s really strange how we can be having a great time then stories appear saying I’m leaving. I was on holiday, Keisha was on holiday and Heidi was in Hell’s Kitchen when this appeared. We were all excited to come back, start a new thing and then it’s boom, here we go again. It’s strange to us because we know we get along with each other and we’re good friends.”

Supportive bandmate Heidi Range, 24, who herself replaced original member Siobhan Donaghy, 23, backed up her comments. She said: “It’s a bit boring, and disappointing too, because it’s the beginning of a new album - a fresh start. But that’s always going to follow Sugababes. Keisha’s been in Sugababes for 10 years - that’s how long the band’s been going. The fact two girls have left in 10 years isn’t a big deal. Think about any other job and people leave all the time. People are never going to believe that we get on. The weekend we were allegedly auditioning new members, our band was learning our new tracks, that’s it.”

Back to business, the Babes’ new album Change, out on October 8, is a fine collection of pop.
Heidi added: “One of our favourite tracks is Back Down, which is a reggae song that we did with Novel, who worked with Joss Stone.”

Amelle agreed: “We hope it’s going to be a single. We all love all the album but this one really sticks out a bit.”

‘Change’ Preview

Sugababes return with new album Change on October 8 and I’ve had a sneaky listen to some of the finished efforts…

Their first record with Amelle Berrebah is a poptastic effort. Previously the ladies had a huge R&B element to their tunes, now the trio dabble with slabs of rock too. Following up a greatest hits collection is always tough but from the taster I’ve heard Heidi, Keisha and Amelle will silence those who said they’d never reach this stage.

First single About You Now is drenched in buckets of candy-coated hooks and the poppiest Babes single perhaps ever.

Never Gonna Dance Again is a dreamy mid-tempo with a hint of Ibiza chill-out rhythms.

My favourite, Denial, pinches the bassline from One Minute - the best track on Kelly Clarkson’s My December - and includes a lush middle eight solo for Heidi.

Surprise breezes along like a fast car on the LA highway, while My Love Is Pink oozes a special something.

Title track Change is clearly the big hitter future single.

Like Take That re-defined manbands with their comeback, this is Sugababes taking girlband pop up a gear.

With lyrics including: “Ain’t it crazy how you think you’ve got your whole life planned/Just to find out it was never ever in your hands,” personal experiences are clearly steeped in this tune.

With their well documented personal ups and downs and band member swaps, its no surprise the Babes made a track like this.

The eighties guitar riff, surprisingly, works.

Verdict: Spice Girls, you’ve got your work cut out to top this classy comeback.
