30 Dec 2005 - New Single: Sparks - Perfume

Written by Pmachine posted in Very Old News 30 Dec 2005, 13:42 451 Views Rating: 0 (0 Rates)
Sparks are to release "Perfume" from their forthcoming album "Hello Young Lovers" on February 13, 2006 through GUT Recordings.

Emerging from the Los Angeles club scene in the early Seventies, Sparks' classic album 'Kimono My House' led to huge success in the UK with the massive hit single 'This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us'. Powered by Russell Mael's unique falsetto with brother Ron's satirical lyrics, Sparks provided both intelligence and tunes during the flamboyant era of glam-rock.

The first single to be released from Sparks 20th album ‘Hello Young Lovers’, ‘Perfume’ is a record that only Sparks could have written and recorded. As one journalist has commented “Perfume is a sophisticated slice of grown up leftfield pop, a wry and acute broadway-flavoured satire the like of which only Sparks can produce”.

On the live front, Sparks are one of the most thrillingly original bands to have ever emerged from the US, Sparks return to Britain in February as part of their European tour. Don't miss this chance to see one of the most eccentrically brilliant bands around!

“With other acts clinging limpet-like to their heyday, the key to Sparks’ ongoing advance is written large on Perfume – “well, screw the past.” There is no-one else in pop making music like this” Record Collector

30 Dec 2005 - New Sugababe Revealed

Written by Pmachine posted in Very Old News 30 Dec 2005, 13:13 497 Views Rating: 0 (0 Rates)

????
Amelle Berrabah, 21 from Hampshire, above with Keisha (left)
and Heidi (middle) has now joined the Sugababes.

??
As reported earlier last week, the Sugababes,??announced that their line up has now changed with immediate effect.??Following a week of intense media speculation, management have confirmed that Mutya Buena has departed the band and Keisha Buchanan and Heidi Range will continue as the Sugababes, being joined by another member to complete the trio.??
??
The lucky new Sugababe is revealed as being Amelle Berrabah, a 21 year old??from Hampshire. Amelle, who is of Moroccan descent, commented: “For years I’ve dreamt of breaking into the music business but never did I dream of waking up one day to be the 3rd Sugababe! They’re the biggest girl group in the country and absolutely the only band I would ever thought about joining. When their manager approached me with the offer, I was in such a state of shock that I couldn’t even answer him! Like millions of girls my age, I’ve grown up with Sugababes’ music as a soundtrack to my life and I’ve been a fan of theirs for years. I still can’t believe my luck!”
??
The band’s manager, Mark Hargreaves, assured fans that Keisha, Mutya and Heidi remain the best of friends.??Mutya took the decision because she wanted a break from the heavy media commitments involved in promoting their No.1 triple-platinum-selling new album Taller In More Ways, and their new single Ugly, which is currently enjoying its 3rd week inside the Top 10 UK Singles Chart, and the follow up to their European smash No.1 hit Push The Button.
??
Mutya commented: “I’ve enjoyed an unbelievable career so far and I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved with Sugababes over the years. My decision to leave the band at this point is based purely on my personal reasons. It was very difficult but definitely not a snap decision. I signed up for being in Sugababes at the age of 13 and have spent my entire life devoted to making and performing music. I think there comes a time when everyone wants to re-evaluate their life and what they want out of it. For me that time has now come. For a long time I have been discussing with Heidi and Keisha our plans for the future and it got to the point where I honestly felt that the commitment I would need to make to Sugababes over the next 12 months was something that would become compromised by me. Clearly that wouldn’t have been fair to Heidi or Keisha or most of all to our fans. Certainly, my departure from the band would never mean the end of Sugababes. We were all in total agreement that a new member would enable the band to continue and I’m delighted that Amelle is taking my place. She’s so lucky to be getting one of the best jobs in the world! And certainly my leaving the band doesn’t mean I won’t be seeing Heidi or Keisha any more. We’ll still be seeing each other and I’ll definitely be taking Tah to all of their gigs.”
??
Keisha said, “When the decision was made, we had a band meeting to discuss the future. I think for our fans, the one thing Sugababes has come to stand for above all else is our consistent and unique style of music. Obviously, it goes without saying that we will all miss Mutya, but we also knew there was still a place for bringing in somebody new who could help us carry on taking the Sugababes brand of music forward. When we met Amelle for the first time, it all just felt so right. We can’t wait for next year to show her off to our fans.”
??
Heidi said, “Our management introduced us to Amelle as someone they knew with an amazing voice, who looked great and, just as important, was already a big fan of the band! When we all met her, we instantly knew she was the only person to share the rest of the journey with us. The fans will certainly not be disappointed when they hear Amelle sing. Next year, we’ve got so much to look forward to and although I know Mutya’s still going to be missed, it is so good that we’re parting company still as best friends.”

UK CHART COMMENTARY from JAMES MASTERTON

In at an impressive Number 3,??'Fairytale Of New York' was first released by the Pogues back in 1987, the single ending up at Number 2 for Christmas but since going on become an acknowledged Christmas classic. This is the second time the single has reappeared in the Top 40 since, the track having been released again back in 1991 when it appeared on the TV special 'The Ghosts Of Oxford Street'. Back then though it was a mere four years old and could only limp to Number 31. In 2005 it is a different story, the 17 year old hit being welcomed back like an old friend. The single has been selling in impressive quantities online for a couple of weeks now and would in fact have made the Top 20 last week but for the fact it was at the time chart-ineligible. This week all that changes as the physical copies hit the stores, returning the single to the Top 3. To give the track added poignancy the single has been re-released to publicise a new campaign for an investigation into the death five years ago of Kirsty McColl who has a starring role on the single and for that fact alone even a 17 year old re-release manages to rank as the most worthy new hit of the week.
