Sugababes premiered their new single, Get Sexy, Tuesday on BBC Radio 1. It's not their best single, and it's their least subtle. Sugababes have always had subtler songs than their fellow Brit girl group counterparts, Girls Aloud. They were sexy, sassy dance numbers (Push the Button, Hole in the Head, Red Dress) but they weren't in your face pop smorgasbords. This song is in your face though and very modern. I like the verses and bridge with its churning beat more than the somewhat loud chorus. It has tinges of Pitbull's I Know You Want Me and it incorporates the synths present in many popular songs nowadays. It's flirty, danceable fun, and I think it's a grower. It doesn't scream "Sugababes" though. The lyrics are priceless and fierce especially the terrific line: "Just shut up and watch me walk". The part around 2:24 is quite cheeky and sassy. This is a complete 180 from their underrated last album, Catfights and Spotlights, which had a retro-feel to it. I guess they needed to recreate themselves. The song will be released for download in August with the new album coming in the fall I assume. Get Sexy will be the Sugas first release in the US since their signing to Jay-Z's Roc Nation label. Very exciting!
