5.0 out of 5 stars One Touch, One More Listen, December 8, 2000

By	Steve Bevis (UK) - See all my reviews

The Sugababes' Debut Album "One Touch" Displays a high degree of maturity in the voices of the trio, average age of 16. The album opens with debut single "Overload" - a classic, yet original, pop song, sung with such insincerity, it becomes lozenged into your brain. The albums picks up from the debut single, with "One Foot In," "Same Old Story," "Just Let Go" and "Look At Me." These tracks demonstrate clearly just why the Sugababes are being compared to All Saints. The album goes slightly down hill for "Soul Sound" and "One Touch," but re-gains the classic pop in "Lush Life." "Real Thing" is guitar-R'n'B-pop at it's best, but the Sugababes slow it down a little for their Christmas Ballad "New Year" afterwards. "Promises" - the penultimate track - is quite bittersweet - when looking at the group's ages. The end - "Run For Cover" is the stand out track on the entire album. You can hear many different styles incorporated into the song - a revengeful, heartfelt song. All in all, if this track-by-track listing does not convince you to spend out the money on this wonderful CD, nothing will let you release the hand from your credit card.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerfully Individual, April 24, 2001

By	Eric Anderson (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Sugababes are a wonderful, cool & sexy alternative to the high profile and legendary Spice Girls. No comparison between them or the All Saints is really necessary; these girls deserve to be in a category of their own. While their dark high-heeled sex kitten image may raise more than a few eyebrows, their music shows a sharp maturity. The singles they have released are some of the best tracks on the album, but I doubt anyone will be disappointed by the high versatility of the other songs and their striking catchy quality. The songs, which work so well together, maintain a steady theme of the twists and turns of a budding teenage life all wonderfully controlled by poetic lyrics. Since I was lucky enough to see them live, I've been haunted by their beautiful voices, so strong and widely ranged for girls their age. They aren't kidding when they pronounce in New Year "I'm older than my years, drowning in my tears." The songs, mostly focusing on love and relationships, give a deep look at the complex way which teenagers must grow up today with a media saturated with sex images and youthful seduction. Rather than give a particular commentary on the subject there is a staunch attitude of independence that marks the music. The feisty tone of the songs builds the trio of girls into a daunting group of individuals, ready to deflect any derogatory images that might be projected onto them.

4.0 out of 5 stars I prefer the other album of Sugababes, June 21, 2008

I listen this cd when I know already the more recent album of Sugababes...it's a good cd but I prefer "Angels with dirty faces" and "Three"...I have "Overloaded", "Taller in more ways" and "Change" too! My favourite album is "Three"!
Anyway this album is the début of Sugababes singers...for who like these three girls I suggest to buy this album!
