Sugababes
Sugababes became the most successful British girlbands of the 21st century with six Number One
singles, millions of global sales and multiple multi-platinum albums. Along the way they told one of
the most spectacular stories of the modern pop era, but it all started in the summer of 2000 with one
song, three voices and a mysterious white label 7”.
In the twenty years that followed, the album’s own glow has never diminished. It went gold at the
time while singles Overload, New Year, Run For Cover and Soul Sound hit the charts around the
world, but it was in that space between then and now, as the Sugababes story took its various twists
and turns, that One Touch slowly took on a life of its own. In 2021 One Touch remains a blueprint for
genre-hopping mainstream music and a byword for effortlessly stylish British pop.
