Sugababes - The Lost Tapes (Deluxe)

[Simone]

They are back in the studio!

 

[bellodramatist]

I hope they do simpler choruses with fewer harmonies/more singing in unison, at least on the singles, for their next album.

I love their harmonies, but I think they can be employed better to get hits. If they want every song to have three-part harmonies on the chorus, I hope they build the harmonies over successive choruses or leave a stronger lead/melody voice.

How do you know?

 

[Suasex]

Excited by Keisha's story. I wonder if they are just recording live vocals for the tour or if it is indeed new material!

How do you know?

Keisha has a story in the studio, and Mutya has one holding a mic.

 

[dell321]

Hopefully they have been secretly recording all along especially if they have worked with Pharrell hope we get to hear something before the o2 in September

Maybe they've also been rehearsing for the Aus tour as well? Mutya's mic doesn't look like a recording mic, but a performance mic.

I could be wrong but I don’t think they go into the studio thinking “I want X, Y and Z”. They seem to just ‘vibe’ it out, and if they end up with simpler choruses (or anything else) then they end up with simpler choruses.

Could be. But it could also be a handheld mic - the type they use when they’re writing songs & coming up with melodies. For reference: the making of Flatline video.

 

[LTG]

Keisha’s story has big studio mixing desks as well. Doesn’t look like a tour rehearsal space.

 

[La Toya]

They’re most likely comping BVs for a new tour song?

That would make sense

 

[kal]

As if they were gonna tease us with studio photos for backing vocals.

Just dropping by to say that I feel The Lost Tapes is probably one of the best albums by a girlband, alongside Spice and Tangled Up.

 

[RHOPJ]

Pharrell, though. Is he really that much of a force now? His track with Azealia was poor. I hope I'm wrong.

It really is, isn't it? Not only the fact that the quality is top notch, chef kiss Sugababes but also the fact that it checks so many boxes for all the fans and the ladies too.

I believe Keisha meant they worked with Pharrell in the past, as in they were on the same gig lineups a few times and got to know him.

She often says the same thing about P!nk.

ATM Jam, terrible.

In my fantasy all the attention lead to a collaboration with someone maybe, something to tide us over until they are ready to go all in.

I can imagine they let Today live and die. It would make sense to keep interest up with a feature or remix or something until they get a proper campaign going with O2 being the kick-off/good time for the first single.

 

[Dennis]

We should all be so lucky.

They absolutely would though nn
