The Sugababes new video then...

It's no secret that the lineup of the Sugababes has undergone more changes than the worlds climate and LaToya Jacksons face combined, but no such change to the group has brought with it as much controversy as the recent booting of longtime member Keisha Buchanan in favour of leggy brunette Jade Ewen.

But with the success of their first single as the re-re-re-designed threepiece 'About A Girl' in Autumn last year, is it safe to say that the group have (once again) survived the turbulence caused by initially disgruntled fans? With a pushed back album and only one single in the proverbial can, the only possible answer anyone can give is a maybe. And so, here is the bands next promo clip for the rather awfully titled track 'Wear My Kiss'.

All in all, this is a very solid effort, even if it is one of the few songs which I can safely say has better verses than choruses, which lacks a little something when it hits. The group appear to have stepped up their game in this clip, Amelle's re-designed the Ostrich do and Heidi's...moving (which is nice to see) however it is Jade Ewen who really shines in this clip, I've found myself replaying her little bouncing motion during her verse more times than is healthy. Well done you etc. etc.

Although this is reportedly only a 'rough edit' leaked online last night, however the T4 logo hovering in the corner suggests to me that this wont be far off what fans of the 'Babes can expect to see when the video premieres later in the month.

We Do Indeed Love That Kandy Life - New (old) Gaga Leakage!

Lady Gaga is something of an unstoppable pop machine at the moment. Having dominated 2009 with arguably some of the decades best pop songs (Alright 'Poker Face'? How ya' doin 'Bad Romance'? the Lady shows absolutely no sign of slowing down the momentum as we enter the...Teenies (seriously SOMEONE, ANYONE come up with a better name for the upcoming decade before I have to end it all now)

Whilst still riding exceptionally high on the success of her 'Fame Monster' album re-release, fans of The Ga were treated to newly leaked (and fully polished) demo tracks in the form of the 'Kandy Life' EP which surfaced in the run-up to Christmas via fansite Gagafrontrow.net Featuring on the 2007 demo disc is the titular 'Kandy Life', a 'My Boy Lollipop' sampling ode to the familar topics of fame, money and the reaping of the rewards which come with it. Whilst this is by no means new territory for The Ga, it's a pleasant enough ditty, with an ear pleasing instrumental and catchy hook.

Kandy Life

Also making a welcome inclusion is the track 'Wonderful', an aptly titled soulful love song only previously available in extremely low quality MP3 form. In my humble (coff) opinion, this track forms Gaga's strongest ballad and quite frankly throws later efforts (Im looking at you 'Speechless') far far into the shade.



Wonderful

Another nice little touch for the Gaga Fanatics are alternate demo versions of 'The Fame' tracks 'Brown Eyes' 'Beautiful Dirty Rich' and 'Disco Heaven' which contain slightly tweaked differences to their eventually comercially released counterparts.

Check them out and be sure to let me know what you think! (Links courtesy of the similarly quite exceptional fansite GagaFrontRow.net)

Well Hello.

AS YOU CAN SEE, this little blog has seen a slight (0kay total) lack of new posts in the past month which I am terribly sorry about. December saw every possible computer problem come my way, but a new year brings with it a new computer as well as a hopeful resurgence in new posts! And on that note...
