"Girls" by Sugababes \


"Catfights and Spotlights" by Sugababes

    The babes are back and ready to get fierce on their new album "Catfights and Spotlights."
    This is their sixth studio album and their second with new member Amelle Berrebah after former member Mutya Buena left the group in 2005.
    This album features the babes' No. 1 single in the UK "Girls."
    "The title of the album came from the rumored in-fighting that had been going around in the media and we just wanted to clear rumors about that," said original member Keisha Buchanan on msn.com.
    This album reaches back to the style of soul music from their first album "Overload" and has a little bit of an urban edge that is sure to make fans new and old love them more. There are very soulful tracks on the album like their second single " No Can Do" and " Side Chick." The babes have also stirred up some good ballads like "Sunday Rain."
    This album also features an acoustic version of the babes single "About You Now" from the album "Change" and the track "She's Like a Star," featuring Taio Cruz.   
    "Catfights and Spotlights" looks to be another No. 1 for the babes, so definitely check them out. Their album is available now on iTunes, Rhapsody and other online locations. Also, check out their Web site sugababes.com.


"Cadillac Records"
     Rock 'n' roll in the 1950's is resurrected in the film "Cadillac Records" starring Adrian Brody as Leonard Chess, the owner of Cadillac Records.
    This movie tells the story of the lives of some of America's music legends including, Etta James (Beyonce Knowles), Chuck Berry (Mos Def) and Muddy Waters (Jeffrey Wright).
    In this tale of sex, violence and race within rock 'n' roll, the story of these legends are re-lived and it takes an intimate look into their careers.
    Knowles' performance in this movie is very similar to  Regina King's in the movie "Ray," and Mos Def's portrayal of Chuck Berry is also very impressive. Brody's portrayal of Leonard Chess is also surprisingly good in this film. 
    Cadillac Records will be in theaters Dec. 5th.
