THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

In an era of manufactured pop acts, the original Sugababes were outliers.  Stylistically interesting and sonically adventurous, their immaculately locked-in harmonies and street sensibilities set them apart from the cheery but musically limp acts that crowded Top of the Pops.  Key to that magic? Each brought a unique point of view to the group – Donaghy’s indie stylings, Buchanan’s unimpeachable pop instincts, Buena’s gritty soulfulness – creating a sound that was as unpredictable as it was distinctive.
