Tomorrow the "Sugababes" are releasing their first post-Keisha single, "About A Girl", and here are some of our thoughts regarding this.
The problem with "About A Girl" lies in the inability to separate the quality of the song with the physical changes in the group and also in the sound. This Euro, electro-R&B sound isn't awful, but nor is it particularly unique, particularly when drawn up alongside previous Sugababes singles that could truly be considered unique ("Freak Like Me", "Hole In the Head", "Push The Button" - none of them sounded much like any other mainstream pop songs at the time).
If this were any other artist's track, we would probably say "All right, fair enough", but when one stamps the Sugababes label over it, it really is a curious and ultimately wholly disappointing affair. Sad, really, that a group regarded a mere four years ago as the UK's most credible and genuinely good pop act have turned into nothing more than a revolving door, whored-out-for-the-masses nonentity.
