Ok but when I was personally offended by the low quality leak of Sweet 7 I had on my iTunes in 2009 and swiftly purged the majority of it, Miss Everything was the only album track I left intact.

Listening for first time actively (I think it was one some tragic predrinks playlist I made cause I've definitely heard it since 2009 in the background at various points) and it truly is an atrocity. But I'm still bopping.

Ddddd Amelle mentioned in an interview around late 2009 about how she hated "She's a Mess" and the rap. Obviously they must have felt their jobs were on the line if they didn't take whatever the label forced on them then.

Oh, the label definitely pushed them to do a sound they weren't ecstatic about with Sweet 7 and I sometimes wonder if the girls - mostly Keisha - understand now just how transparent their tactics and manipulations were. I've always physically cringed at that story Keisha told about Rihanna hearing their songs because it always seemed so false to me - clearly just a way to pacify her into thinking they were making a good album (and I say 'her' because she's obviously the only one from that line-up who would need convincing).

"You know, coincidentally, just a few minutes after you left the studio last night, we made Rihanna listen to She's A Mess...and she said she really liked it..."

Ha!

“Every time we’re gonna hook up he’s off partying with Diddy or someone, but Rihanna has been a huge help to us.

“She’s been like our fourth member, listening to all our songs and saying what she liked and what she didn’t.”

But mingling with the big players Stateside doesn’t mean the Babes will be focusing more across the pond.

Keisha assured me: “It feels like our best album with this line-up but it’s definitely for our European fans. We feel refreshed and ready for something new.”

I gave Miss Everything and She's a Mess a 5 and a 4,5 respectfully and I am not ashamed to say that I have used both on many a drunk occasion and you. will. all. deal.

Though I'm actually displeased, because as irredeemably bad Sweet 7 might be, it's better tracks are also gonna be done so wrong.

Pleasing results so far.

Agreed with berserkboi re: 'About A Girl' - I reckon it should sneak top 40-50.

I'd be happy with it going top 60, it feels about right. They just have so much more substantial material worth celebrating; it's an undeniable bop but it rests with the likes of In The Middle and Red Dress for me - great single choices but not great Sugababes songs when you look at the whole discography.
