Sugababes

[Jark]

god that tiny clip sounds HOT. I smell a big pop banger incoming.

 

[Jark]

can't embed it but on PJ there's a clip with the first verse from Mut and Keish and omg.

 

[dUb]

 

[Berly]

It’s got a heavy sample right? I Feel Love vibes off the chart

 

[syl]

I'm hearing "Funkytown." The Isley Brothers received a nod in "Weeds."

 

[K.C.]

I heard Funkytown too. The production sounds very Gaga.

Sounds like a banger though. I'm still loving Jungle. Been slowly introducing their catalog to my American friends.

 

[dUb]

 

[funky]

Oh the gays are going to love this

It's very COAD

 

[Shoat]

Very possibly the Sugababes might just be the best pop act of 2025

WHO'DHAVETHUNK

 

[Jark]

it's called Shook and it's out next Wednesday



clip of the chorus on this ig post if you click through

 

[Christian]

How are they delivering such absolute top tier pop after 25 years in the game? Incredible!

 

[funky]

This really sounds special

 

[straightorbroken]

The promise those clips bring is positively startling

 

[straightorbroken]

It's soul-sounding like their Stupid Love.

 

[dUb]

 

[dUb]

I wish I hadn’t heard 64% of it already but

 

[Jark]

perhaps missing a classic middle 8 and it's over very quickly but... big bop. well done ladies.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh the gays are going to love this

Can confirm

 

[cwej]

I like it but think it’s the most generic of the 3 new tracks and feels a little lightweight for this incarnation…

**reserves right to completely u-turn by tomorrow**

 

[BoysForSeles]

I’ve just played the snippet above. Sounds a bit Sweet 7 to me.

 

[Jark]

a common thread across all three singles is that Mut really owns them. vocally she's on exquisite form.

 

[Shoat]

It's the weakest of the three, but that's easily done given how Weeds and Jungle were.

It's a Sweet 7 track yes, but also the best Sweet 7 track.

 

[Suomi]

B-side

 

[dUb]

Video out at 7 Irish time

 

[Halli]

I love Siobhan's bit the best

 

[dUb]

 

[ILL ADVISED]

What horrible outfits

It’s like they were made in a drag race challenge

 

[dUb]

Were all those noises really necessary

 

[Berly]

Keisha’s About You Now yellow is back

 

[K.C.]

The most filler-sounding track so far. Still a good listen though. But I can see it getting tired very quickly.

 

[dUb]

(When The Rain Comes)
1 Jungle
2 Weeds
3 Shook

 

[Pipo]

Well, it's no DRUMS, but then, WHAT IS?

 

[Berly]

I like ‘After 20 seconds I get bored easily’ and ‘heaven in a t shirt and some new Nikes’ and the chorus but that’s it

Edit: oh and Mutya’s shoooOOoOOooOoook yeah-ye at the end

 

[FetchFugly]

Were all those noises really necessary

I know, especially during Siobhan's bit. Ridiculous.

 

[FetchFugly]

Anyway I agree it isn't quite as good as the previous two, but it is a lot of fun and I am sure I will be playing it plenty.

Do we know whether the album is actually finished now? Three songs in feels like they should be announcing it.

 

[straightorbroken]

I've prolapsed. Can't wait to burst out of a toilet cubicle to it. It's galvanic.

Last time they had an album finished they waited 10 years to release it so I wouldn’t bet on anything with this lot.

I do quite enjoy the curiosity that is Radio 2 these days. With Radio 1 insistent that their remit is exclusively 18 year olds born on a full moon in August, it leaves Radio 2 with far too big a market to cover.

And so you have them wanting to push Sabrina Carpenter, Jade and the Sugababes doing fun-for-Soho-dive-bars, whilst there is still a dour octogenarian committee member harrumphing about Van Morrison's 275th record and Paul Sodding Weller.

You really might as well just put Spotify on shuffle.

 

[VoR]

Does Radio 2 still get significantly higher ratings though?
