    Sugababes Story: MKmesS... The Final Chapter

    The end of second series showcasing the Sugababes solo careers and we have come full circle. Mutya, Keisha and Siobhan have got back together. 
     
    We cover the whole messy reunion with their single, Flatline, and the would be album (of course we havent listened to the leak, of course not!). We've dodged it all series but we finally dived into the legal battle.... who owns the Sugababes name?!

    Sugababes Solo: Jade Ewen

    Sugababes Solo: Jade Ewen

    Not since Michelle Williams has the phrase 'Poor' been needed than Poor Jade Ewen. 
    Despite hustling at Eurovision Russia, Girlband Trinity Stone and starring in a Busted video - Jade Ewen never got the appreciation she deserved... until now! 
    We celebrate Jade Ewens solo career pre and post Sugababes from Splash! to Aladdin. You could say its.... My Time (well, her time - shut up, it worked in our heads)

    Sugababes Story: Sweet (7) Goodbye - the end of the band... for now!

    With Keisha kicked out, the Sugababes quickly (like, 48 hours quick) draft in Eurovision contestant, Jade Ewen, to film the About A Girl video and re-record their final album, Sweet 7. 
    We cover the release of the album and the slow breakdown of the best selling girlband of the 00s via promo release, Freedom, and a hilarious sponsorship deal with Microsoft Windows

    Sugababes Solo: Keisha Buchanan

    Sugababes Solo: Keisha Buchanan

    Final original Sugababe Keisha Buchanan unfairly booted from the band in the middle of promotion for Get Sexy. 
    Maybe you think she didn't do anything solo..... let us prove you wrong. Unreleased demos, youtube and property. We deep dive into the longest lasting Sugababe.

    Sugababes Story: Keisha Kicked Out while the girls Get Sexy

    Sugababes Story: Keisha Kicked Out while the girls Get Sexy

    Its the big one - the sweet (7) story -final original member Keisha Buchanan kicked out by management in just days before shooting a video! 
    We discuss the beginnings of the of the Sweet 7 era with the Bruno Mars penned 'Get Sexy' on Roc Nation (Jay-Zs record label). This is less than a year after the motown vibe album, Catfights and Spotlights. 
    If you thought the Sugababes were over once Mutya left.... you need to think again. We get albums, tours, dramas and - of course - slapping it onto soundtracks.

Hollar! This podcast is pure Spice

I bloody love this podcast. I feel as though the gang and I are all discussing our love of all things Spice Girls related over a cup of chai (is that the spiciest beverage?) and the attention to detail, unique point of views, genuine affection and endearing humour makes me smile, ache nostalgically and desperately want more Spice Girls tours and albums to dissect with these eloquent library loving Spice connoisseurs.
