The Sugababes are getting as bad as Oasis once were, what with losing all these original members. Keisha may be the only original 'babe left in the line up now, but it's still business as usual for one of the few manufactured groups it's cool to like.
Red Dress is fresh, sassy and as catchy as hell, with new girl Amelle Berrabah's vocals sounding, well, not all that different to the departed Mutya's to be honest. There's also thankfully no 'message' behind the song unlike the rather contrived 'why can't we all just get along' lyrics of the girls' last single Ugly.
It also sounds a bit similar to Girls Aloud, which is no doubt due to the presence of the Xenomania team on producing and writing credits. Another great single, although indie purists may wish to avoid the, um, interesting cover version of Arctic Monkeys' I Bet You Good On The Dancefloor on the B-side...
