Ghostly

Think you know the sound of one Sugababe singing? Well think again, because the now solo Siobhan Donaghy is about to release her second record, and it looks like it's going to be nothing like you were expecting.

When I first listened to "Ghost" (taken from the L.P. of the same title), I was expecting some joyous pip-pop crappery - actually, I was looking forward to some joyous pip-pop crappery. So the fragile percussive opening, distorted and ethereal vocals and trippy rhythm really threw me; it's completely Kate Bushy and not a little mad. Can't dance to it, but it's made me look forward to an ex-sugababe's record in a way I never ever ever in a bajillion years expected to.

Apparently the full record is going to be all orchestral expansiveness and future-poppy. Skye says: "ayeeeee"
