Sugababes - Sweet 7 (Island) ***

11:46am Friday 5th March 2010 in What's On By Sam Rowe

THE Sugababes are dead, long live the Sugababes.

With the ashes still cooling from last original member Keisha’s departure, the indestructible threesome are back with a new member from the production line and, oh yeah, their seventh album.

Line up aside, you can count on these girls to hit you with a fresh musical approach each time, with Sweet 7 no exception.

While they keep the candyfloss pop charm and belting ballads of old, Sugababes’ sound is injected with the dirty basslines and danceable R&B beats on offer from cosying up with hip-hop hall of famer Jay-Z.

Standout tracks Get Sexy and new single Wear My Kiss plunge headfirst into slick and seductive R&B with pop sprinklings. Like them or loathe them, you’ll sing along to this album.
