Sugababes: 'Freedom' - Single review

Are the Sugababes really the Sugababes anymore? That's the question being asked among pop geeks since the last founding member Keisha Buchanan was booted out back in '09 for reasons still unknown - and more recently when former 'babe Mutya Buena won a small portion of rights to their name. While some are still adjusting to the latest incarnation, many are forgetting that the revolving lineup is as much a part of their tradition as their ability to produce top notch music.

Thankfully, 'Freedom' goes a considerable way to rectifying such an issue. "Let's walk away into the night/ It's getting late, but we're right on time," Amelle purrs over beats crunchier than a freshly-tossed Niçoise salad, before instructing us to raise "one fist in the air for freedom-dom-dom-dom" as a skyscraper of a chorus ensues. Truth be told, by the time the head-spinning dubstep moment kicks in, we're too busy throwing our finest shapes to care who's in the band anyway.
