Sugababes - Round Round

[Jark]

Where do we stand on this in 2019?



It's their 4th most played track on Spotify and the biggest from the Angels album, it seems to have endured quite nicely through a nostalgia filter. To me it still feels shockingly fresh for a pop song from 2002, but then British pop was really quite forward thinking at that moment in time so perhaps no shocker there.

Hole In The Head will still always be my fave though

 

[Iguana]

A 9 from me. I was a bit of a Siobhan loon so the Sugababes without her took some selling for me, but this was enough to get me to buy the album (although I never particularly enjoyed the album unfortunately). One Touch 4eva

 

[Rita]

It’s OK, but not their best for me.

 

[Rita]

Breathe Easy from the album is still absolutely GORGEOUS, however.

 

[ameraal]

one of the best by them in this format and i prefer it (greatly) to the sound of the underground. heidi's bit is nice.
shame they look like they were dressed by beyonce's mom.

sidebar: this track features one of my favourite misheard (i hope) lyrics: don't you worry 'bout a thing/all you need is a fisting

 

[Lee]

I remember loving this at the time. For me they’ve only bettered it with “Red Dress”.

 

[Sheena]

It's FLAWLESS. And weirdly, at the time, I liked it, but I didn't LOVE IT. Time has proved that it's right up their with their very best, though. And it proved what a vital member LA RANGE was because, let's face it, it's NOWHERE NEAR AS GREAT without:

Does it hurt when you see how I've done
Without you thought that I couldn't get belong
Never thought that you could be so cruel...

10/10

I also like a remix they released later on called Someone In My Bed

 

[POP!]

Very good but loses a point for Heidi's awful middle eight that kills the energy/mood of it all.

Are you insane?

you dare type that with a LANA avatar; know your mood killers beforehand

 

[POP!]

Are you insane?

It’s not my cup of tea, it’s all very FLaT

 

[Diddy]

I’m in the middle... I like how it merges back into the main song afterwards, but it could’ve done with a smoother transition into it

Noooooo- it couldn’t. It’s entirely the blueprint for Xenomania sound and the way they worked from then on- without Round Round, there would be no Biology, no Sexy? No! No! No! etc. etc.

Back to back 10s with this and Freak Like Me
