Life Much better day today. Slept in on purpose and didn't have the same anxiety as yesterday, mostly because I was going to the cinema to see Steven Soderbergh's new one, Black Bag. Finally offering us his slow burn spy film, we're in and out of the story in 90 minutes. I've haven't wanted to be Cate Blanchett in a film this much since Ocean's 8. The trick each day seems to be to give myself a reason to get out of bed, and mores the point go outside, even if it's just to wander up to the local Spar shop to buy a paper.
Meanwhile, the promo for the Sugababes' Jungle is out and its a blessed chaos, Siobhan trapped in a shop front on a travellator like an extra in Jacqui Tati's Playtime, Keisha's in the demo pod of a Bose shop and Mutya's hungover outie dancing in a lift from Severance. Watch out for the poltergeist creating chair structures and the male model making the interesting career decision of having the Sugababes logo tattooed across his shoulders. At least it'll guarantee him some work going forward if the album's a hit.
The song itself is growing on me. The brevity helps. It's a tight 2m 42s that still manages to demonstrate the strengths of each of the vocalists and their sweet harmony. The similarity to Smells Like Teen Spirit must surely be unintentional but it's there and not in a bad way. Jungle is a bop which should work well live. Somehow manages to feel like the Sugababes of One Touch but with some extra decades and still of now. Roll on the album.
