Sneaky snippet: Keisha Buchanan - Fearless

Keisha Buchanan - Fearless | Sneaky snippets
Well this is a surprise. A snippet of a song from the Sugababe who got given her P45 earlier in the year! This song sounds better than the whole of Sweet 7, and the general feedback on this song is positive on the whole. So the 4.0's best be on their worry game.

The song works that tired Ryan Teddar like sound, but it sounds like a good song. It's very Sugababes, which I like. This could easily be a track from Taller in more ways or Three.

I don't know if Keisha has what it takes to go the distance as a solo artist. But the demands to be a solo act in the UK are less than those in the US (she won't have to give everything but the tampon hanging in-between her legs) so she might be able to pull this off. And if she manages to drop an album of solid material which works that 'Sugababes sound' which seemed to have been abandoned the day Mutya left to be a full time ghetto trashed mess, then she might be able to steal back those old fans and have the Sugababes live on through her, which would put the 4.0's in some serious danger. Because let's be real: them girls are not the Sugababes, and I don't give a damn how long Heidi's been in the group.

I wasn't wholly looking forward to Keisha's debut, but I am now. The writing should have been on the wall to us from Three. Keisha gave us a taste of how she rolls solo on "Whatever makes you happy" and that was a kick ass song, so...
