Yes, it was. From my perspective, being a huge fan of work from before that song, hating Happy, despising Blurred Lines, not watching The Voice... I'm not massively clued up on his current work. It's not something that I even considered until yesterday, clearly. I'd love to see him do something amazing with the Sugababes, of course.
and let's not forget The Writing's on the Wall, Destiny's Fulfilled and CrazySexyCool.
Their Spotify numbers are crazy/unfair! The drop from Sweet 7 to Catfights is quite staggering... #justiceforCAS

Do they actually read these threads?
(That list is stunning, I’d love to hear a Fred Again.. pop production too!)
Catfights had only two singles, one of which flopped and the album campaign was super short, its not surprising its not as high as albums with multiple top ten singles.
On the other hand happy to see Change as the leader even if its mostly because of About You Now. Not surprised the original lineup decided to perform it considering how popular its stil is.
Ha! Literally 95% of Change is About You Now (150.1m) - their most streamed song:

Has anyone else noticed moments on this album that reference their older stuff? And I don't just mean Back In The Day & Summer of 99 that explicitly talk about the old times.
- The line "boys will be boys for life" in Boys is likely a reference to the unreleased One Touch song Boys Will Be Boys.
- I Lay Down uses a very similar (if not the same) piano (?) sequence that's very prominently featured in the demo version of Look At Me.
- Enough didn't make it on the album, but Mutya has a line "easy, treat him mean, just to keep him keen" which is a nod to her song 2 The Limit which had the line "treat me mean, keep me keen".
Am I missing any?

I’m telling myself that Summer of 99 on The Lost Tapes is still in its demo form and that they will make it a single this summer with a beefed up radio edit. I’m manifesting it.
If they ever release a physical edition of “The Lost tapes” I would love if they included a bonus disc with the “Summer of 99” demo.
It’s amazing how production can affect a song. I usually skip the version on “The Lost Tapes” but when I play the demo I can play it over 10 times in a row.

I just want a volume 2 … and then a volume 2 (deluxe)
