Sugababes - "Catfights and Spotlights" Review

"Catfights and Spotlights" is the sixth studio album by the Sugababes. I loved their last album "Change" so I thought I would buy this too. I thought that the first single "Girls" was kind of average, so I was a little reluctant to buy the album. But I am glad I have. It's amazing!

1. "Girls" - The first single is pretty average and I think that there is mych more better contenders for the lead single! The album version is slightly different and it's overall a good pop song, but repetitive in some parts! I highly recommend this remix of "Girls" - "Girls (Klaus Ahlund Reworked Remix)". I actually think that it's better than the original!

2. "You On A Good Day" - This one is an up-beat song and it would've made a brilliant single. I love the pop style of the song and the general happy feel of it.

3. "No Can Do" - The second single which I love! It's an up-beat catchy track which has fantasic lyrics as well as being catchy throughout the song. I love the ending lyrics "Don't try and even call me on the telephone, it don't mean a thing cause I'm on my own".

4. "Hanging On a Star" - I love this track too. It's another pop song which is a feel good tune.

5. "Side Chick" - This is my favourite one on the album. This definitely should have been the lead single! It's just an amazing tune with all of the girls sounding wonderful vocally!

6. "Unbreakable Heart" - In some ways this song reminds me of the song "Change" from their last album. I love the lyrics and the chorus!

7. "Sunday Rain" - This slow tune is probably my least favourite on the album. I think that it's bland and weak.

8. "Every Heart Broken" - This tune is a beautiful ballad which I love. I think that it would make a brilliant single with its great lyrics and a powerful chorus!

9. "Beware" - This is different to the other tracks on the album. Although this tune has good lyrics, it's a mediocre track.

10. "Nothings As Good As You" - I also really love this tune. It has a great vibe as well as fantastic lyrics!

11. "Sound Of Goodbye" - I don't really like this one. It's average.

12. "Can We Call a Truce" - I love this slow, but fantastic track. All of their vocals are fantastic in this, especially Amelles!

13. "About You Now (Acoustic Version)" - I don't like this version, the original is alot better, however it shows off the girls voices well!

14. "She's Like A Star" (With Taio Cruz) - I liked the original from Taio Cruz's "Departure" album, so I was curious to hear this version. I love this version and I think that it's better than the original!

Best track: "Side Chick"

Overall Rating:
10/10
After hearing "Girls" I wasn't sure what to expect from this album, but it's amazing. It's a balance of slow tracks and catchy tunes. It's ashame that there are no more planned singles for the album due to it's failure. If only they had picked a different first single. This album deserves alot more recognition than it has had in the charts!

The Saturdays - "Chasing Lights" Review

"Chasing Lights" is the debut album by British pop band The Saturdays. It features the hit singles "If This Is Love" and "Up".

1. "If This Is Love" - The first single from the album which was released in July. It was a top ten hit in the UK. It's a great pop track and a decent first single!

2. "Up" - The second single which I also love. It has great, racy lyrics as well as catchy hooks. This is the track that made me like The Saturdays. This is another up-beat tune which anyone who is a fan of Girls Aloud will like! The single version is a lot better than the album version though.

3. "Keep Her" - This continues the trend of great pop tunes. It has interesting lyrics as well as a great chorus.

4. "Issues" - The third single which was their third consecutive hit in the UK. I didn't like this tune at first, but now I love it. It's a great track, however the album version is better due to there being a slight lyrical change in the single version which makes the song sound worst.

5. "Lies" - This up-beat tune is one of my favourites. It's about someone who has told alot of lies, with no truth ever being there. It has a nice chorus as well as good lyrics.

6. "Work" - This is apparently the fourth single and it's a great choice. It's a masterpiece. It has elements of dance, R&B and pop.

7. "Chasing Lights" - The title track is an amazing mid-tempo tune which fits in with the album perfectly.

8. "Set Me Off" - This one was released as a b-side to "If this Is Love". It has fierce beats as well as a catchy chorus. I'm glad that it was included on the album!

9. "Fall" - This slow tune is a favourite of mine. I love the powerful feel of the tune as well as the lyrics. This has to be a single!

10. "Vulnerable" - This slow tune is the weakest track on the album which I usually skip.

11. "Why Me, Why Now" - This is another weak tune that I usually skip.

12. "Up (Wideboys Radio Edit)" - This is an amazing remix of this fantastic pop song. It adds more edge and catchiness to it!

Best track: "Fall"/"Work"

Overall Rating:
9/10
"Chasing Lights" is a brilliant debut album. It has lots of catchy tunes and some great mid-tempo ones. The Saturdays are a new fantastic pop group and I can't wait to hear more from them! I really hope that they tour soon!
