The new release from the ‘alternative girl band’, ‘Ugly’ is admittedly not as immediately catchy as some of their previous tunes and the lyrics sound simple instead of being hidden behind the tricky beats and melodies we automatically come to expect, but this still ticks all the Sugababes boxes.
With less oomph than we may be used to it’s not one of the best songs they’ve wowed us with. If you take into consideration the fact that their previous release was a song that oozed attitude and sex appeal, making even the indiest of us chicks want to don a tight pencil skirt and strutt our stuff then you can see that this slow little number with its pacing was bound to get a different reception.
This new release is anything but ugly with pretty harmonies, their trademark voices and a catchy chorus which allows us to hum happily along. No doubt this will be another Sugababes hit.
