Sugababes: 'Get Sexy'

Responsible for some of the finest pop offerings of the past decade, Sugababes hit a creative rut last year when they rehashed Ernie K. Doe's 'Girls' into a shameless hen night crowd-pleaser. Following disappointing sales of their Catfights and Spotlights album, the trio recognised they'd become a touch "complacent" and jetted over to the US - tails firmly between their legs - to rectify the situation.

On this evidence, their Stateside jaunt looks to have paid off. A collaboration with little-known producers The Smeezingtons, 'Get Sexy' is a dancefloor stomper that nestles somewhere between 'Boom Boom Pow' and 'Bonkers' in its blend of electropop, techno and R&B sounds. It may not be massively original, nor an instant classic to rival 'About You Now' or 'Push The Button', but with a Right Said Fred-sampling hook, a thundering chorus and plenty of attitude - most noticeably from Amelle - it returns Sugababes right to the forefront of the pop landscape.
