Sugababes Return to Form with Latest Single and New Lineup
Jade Ewen has claimed that her music career was saved by joining the Sugababes. The 21-year-old, who came fifth representing the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest last year, admitted that she strived to launch a solo career following the competition. “I did wonder what I’d be getting into, yes.
My career was not precisely taking off, was it? I required an opportunity,” Contactmusic quotes her as announcing. Ewen’s Eurovision single ‘It’s My Time’ topped at number twenty-seven in May 2009, while her follow-up ‘My Man’ made it to 35 the same week that she replaced Keisha Buchanan in the Sugababes. Bandmate Amelle Berrabah added that she was impressed with Ewen’s vocal skills before she joined the group. “We’d heard about Jade, naturally, and we knew she had this superb voice… But we’d never met the girl before, so we did not actually know her,” she claimed.
The latest Sugababes single Wear My Kiss is released on Feb twenty-two. Their album Sweet 7 is out on March eight.
5 months into their latest incarnation and it’s all looking - on the surface at least - incredibly sweet for the Sugababes. Jade Ewen appears to have brought some replenished verve to the band, their re-recorded album’s prepared to be shipped, and, according to regular Twitter updates, group vacations and cosy sleepovers suggest a certain Miss Buchanan is being missed like a hole in the head. whether they’re bezzy chums or not, this latest single shows there’s life yet in brand ‘Babes. Produced by PCD and Britney knob-twiddler Fernando Garibay, ‘Wear My Kiss’ is a fuzzed-up pop thumper with suitably attractive verses and a chanted “da-da-da” hook that lodges in your cortex like shrapnel. The result? Really now, extremely radio-friendly and - best of all - more easily Sugababes-sounding than ‘Get Sexy’ or ‘About A Girl’.
