Avenue Music: The Babes Are Back! and Dealing with a "Ghost". PhotoCred: @Sugababes On Instagram  After dropping Jungle . Shook & Weeds they went awfully quiet, everyone was excited for their new era but unfortunately a pause came and things seemed pretty uncertain for Keisha , Siobhan & Mutya who have went through hell and back over legal issues over the band name and given the history of the group as different look lineups were formed till an indefinite hiatus.  Things changed when they started teasing new music again and their socials with a gorgeous bright yet mustardy yellow to kickoff the long awaited new era, the last lengthy project was 2022's The Lost Tapes which suffered delays as well but was truly worth the wait, with songs such as Today , Flatline , Boys & Victory .  Ghost comes in as the fourth single, darker, mature and absolutely unapologetic very electric and almost gives you a hypnotic vibe with it's opening beats as Mut...

Monday Music Motivation: Bye by Ariana Grande, The It's Over Party Starter! Ariana Grande . PhotoCred: @arianagrande on IG Ariana Grande is moving on in a happier beat, uptempo disco-funk song that pops out of a bad relationship as she packs up to end a sad story for brighter, sun shiny days.

Producers: Sir Nolan and Simon Says "This isn't gonna work I know, you flirt with everyone, I know" JISOO sings as she opens the record highly dismissive and alert yet somehow the connection has her twisting her word play and ready to embrace a love that has all the warning signs in Bold. Being more than friends is the right fit for this pair, they are a combination that clicks and gives access to a love they both can't deny.
