Album Reviews
Further proof that the major labels think American kids are stupid: The Sugababes debut album arrives on these shores with dubiously glossed-up cover art and a drastic MTV make-over for the unusually credible teenage threesome. Never mind, the music on One Touch still remains vital and raw; like a downtown version of TLC or All Saints without the gargantuan studio budget. Lead-off track "Overload" is a pulsating, cool-headed R&B concoction, while the title track sounds more deep, down and dirty than anything that has appeared on pop radio in recent memory. Scour the import bins for the original unfiltered version. Other girl groups will look utterly lightweight in comparison.
