Sugababes - Girls (Live)

Sugababes performing "Girls" live on T4.

The Sugababes wanted their sixth album to showcase the close bond the three had formed over the last two years, while simultaneously showcasing the separate strengths of Amelle, Heidi and Keisha. Amelle gave a fresh perspective and a new dynamic to Sugababes. She brings a more urgent, sassy element to the group. Keisha has grown into the consummate professional. Vocally, she’s matured so much. She understands what makes the group tick. She’s a woman with experience that belies her 24 years. And Heidi has always - and especially on this record - created special moments for the band. It was time to bring a whole new energy to the Sugababes. After all, this is a band that signed to Island as teens. They’re now aged 23 to 25 and held in such high esteem by those in the know that they got an invite to dinner with Nelson Mandela this Summer and shared the great man’s table with Gordon Brown, Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey.
