So this Sugababes album…

We thought the new Sugababes album 'Catfights & Spotlights' would have been given the full-on review treatment elsewhere by now but appar­ently it hasn't so here is a review. Firstly…

What's 'Revolution In The Head' from the new Girls Aloud album like?

Well! It has a very agreeable "hey hey hey, oh oh oh" bit, which is a real bass-from-the-speakers-running-through-your-sneakers sort of pop moment. It's mid-tempo. It's alright.  Best lyric: "Revolution in…

What's 'Miss You Bow Wow' from the new Girls Aloud album like?

Well! The intro kicks off with "everybody love love loves everybody everybody love love loves everybody everybody love love loves everybody everybody loves good loving". VERY GOOD. It might not…

What's 'Love Is Pain' from the new Girls Aloud album like?

Well! It starts off pre­tend­ing to be 808 State, then decides to be 'Break 4 Love' for a short while, and then ends up thun­der­ing into an early-90s elec­tronic sort…

What's 'Fix Me Up' from the new Girls Aloud album like?

Well! This is down tempo but it is not a ballad. We are aware that certain people might in fact refer to this as 'low slung'. The intro and middle…

What's 'Untouchable' from the new Girls Aloud album like?

Well! Let's start off by saying that this runs to over six and a half minutes. It's fast, elec­tronic and fantastic. The build-up to the chorus is immense: there's a…

What's 'Turn 2 Stone' from the new Girls Aloud album like?

Well! It's like a mid-tempo piece of elec­tronic incred­ible­ness based around an ethereal "don't turn away, or you'll see it turn to stone" refrain. There is an amazing zoomy whoosh…

What's 'Love Is The Key' from the new Girls Aloud album like?

Well! It's like a Girls Aloud album track mixed with one of the upbeat (good) songs on the Gabriella Cilmi album. Lyrically it's basically Paula Abdul's 'Opposites Attract' or A*Teens'…

What's 'Rolling Back The Rivers' from the new Girls Aloud album like?

Well! Sonically it sounds like Girls Aloud doing 'I Just Called To Say I Love You'. The chorus has a great "ah-ooh" bit but the track's a bit nothingy —…

What's 'The Loving Kind' from the new Girls Aloud album like?

Well! Like 'Call The Shots' and Kylie's 'The One' this is essen­tially a hi-NRG ballad. Rhymes the word 'kind' with 'dis­in­clined'. Best lyric: "The issue's never mentioned, with all the…
