New Releases / Dancing / Song Sugababes : "Get Sexy"
Posted by Dean Fawkes on Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 3:46 PM
Another year into the void. Another lead-off Sugababes single.
Take that, going-to-split rumor villains!
As a debut to the girls' seventh full-length album, it sounds —zzz! — American.
The group's just signed on to Jay-Z's label and apparently been working in Los Angeles with producers of Beyoncé, Lady GaGa, and Rihanna, so it's not a whole shock.
THX-like intro? Whoosh. Right Said Fred bits? Plop. It doesn't recall a lot like other Sugababes singles, apart from maybe 2002's Richard X-produced "Freak Like Me," a song we hated. And yet "Get Sexy" only offers more ambivalent feelings.
Which isn't particularly a pop ideal.
The more Sugababes try to sound different, really, the more they start to sound like everyone else.
Is it possible to be loud and confident but unconvincing?
