New Releases / Shit Talk Splendababes
Posted by Dean Fawkes on Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 6:34 PM
U.K. girl-trio Sugababes have gone through enough line-up changes to finally end up without a single original member. Which is why everyone now likes to call them Splendababes.
Next month's new album, however — the group's seventh full-length and their first with the new roll-call — lives up to the worst expectations and contains more pain per square-inch than is fit for human consumption.
For reasons known only to themselves, they've assumed that RedOne, Right Said Fred, auto-tune, and a half a dozen attempts to recreate Beyoncé's "Halo" is the future and not at all a depressingly conspicuous, or obviously outdated, attempt to latch onto a new and gullible American chart audience.
There used to be no one better in 21st century girl-group pop.
