Taller in More Ways is the fourth studio album by British girl group Sugababes, released by Island Records on 10 October 2005, in the United Kingdom. It was primarily produced by Dallas Austin and Jony Rockstar, with additional production from Cameron McVey, Xenomania and Guy Sigsworth. The title of the album was inspired by a line in the album's second single, "Ugly".

Upon release, Taller in More Ways received generally favourable reviews from music critics. It topped the UK Albums Chart, becoming the group's first domestic number one album. It was certified 2× Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). Additionally, it reached the top ten in Ireland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Austria.

Mutya Buena left the Sugababes in December 2005 and was replaced by Amelle Berrabah. As a result, Taller in More Ways was re-released in March 2006 with the addition of a new song, "Now You're Gone", and three re-recorded tracks featuring the vocals of Berrabah; "Gotta Be You", "Follow Me Home", and "Red Dress".

Background

"Hole in the Head", the number one single from the Sugababes' third studio album Three (2003), was released in the United States during July 2004. During this time, the Sugababes revealed that they would meet with producers in the US to work on their fourth studio album.[1] In August 2004, the Sugababes released "Caught in a Moment", the fourth and final single from Three, and also confirmed that recording for the group's fourth album had commenced.[2] During their break between September 2004 and August 2005, speculation arose about the band's future, which included rumours of a greatest hits album being released and that the group would later split.[3] Band member Heidi Range expressed her distaste with the media speculation, saying: "You know what? At first it would make us angry, then we'd laugh it off and now we don't even pay any attention to it. The tabloids have been saying we're about to split since I joined the band four years ago and I've no idea where it all comes from."[3]

Composition and lyrics

"It's our best album, at least 30 to 40 times better than the last one! There's a track called 'Follow Me Home' which is a step up from 'Stronger' and one called 'Red Dress' which moves on from 'Round Round'. Every track is different and is very diverse including a flavour of RnB crunk."

—Mutya Buena commenting on the album during an interview published on the group's official website.[4]

Taller in More Ways is predominantly a pop record,[5] but also draws influences from electropop and R&B.[6] Priya Elan of The Guardian described the album as a "titanic pop experimentation".[5] Buena stated during an interview that each track on the album is different and diverse.[4] The mood of the album ranges from uptempo pop numbers to slower, downtempo ballads.[4]

The album opens with "Push the Button", an uptempo pop, electropop[7] and electronic song.[8] Instrumentation consists of computer beats and electronics.[8] The song was inspired by a limerance between Buchanan and an artist who collaborated with Austin,[9] and is lyrically about a woman's sexual frustration of being unnoticed by a man.[9] The next track is "Gotta Be You", a crunk and R&B number[10] that runs through a "monotonal crunk-influenced synthesised honking".[8] The song is lyrically interpreted as reacting to judgements created by the press.[4] It received several comparisons to "Try Again" by Aaliyah.[7][10] Following this is "Follow Me Home", a downtempo and romantic R&B ballad,[6][11] instrumentatally accompanied by of keyboards, a guitar, beats and bass.[12] The romantic song was inspired by Buena's daughter and is lyrically about protecting your loved one.[7][9] The fourth track on the album is "Joy Division", which draws influences from dub and nu metal.[8] K. Ross Hoffman of AllMusic described it as a "breezy, ska-punk-tinged" track.[7] The song's is accompanied by keyboards, a guitar, beats and bass,[12] and features the Sugababes singing lines such as "Boy do I turn you round / Isn't this profound".[6] Lyrically, "Joy Division" is about sleazy men; according to Range, "My verse is about a guy who tries to chat you up and conveniently forgets the fact that he's got a wife and kids".[13]

"Red Dress" serves as the fifth track on the album; it is an uptempo pop song that features two choruses.[14][15] Its instrumentation is composed of keyboards, bass and guitars, while the main riff samples the Northern soul song "Landslide" by Tony Clarke.[12][14] "Red Dress" features a theme of girl power, and is lyrically about a woman who uses her sexuality to gain power over men.[14] The sixth track of Taller in More Ways is the midtempo pop ballad "Ugly", consisting of acoustic guitars "buoyed by peripheral detail".[16] Its lyrical content is related to self-esteem and body-image concerns; the song received comparisons to "Beautiful" by American recording artist Christina Aguilera and "Unpretty" by American girl group TLC.[10][15] "It Ain't Easy", the album's seventh track, is an electro and R&B song backed by a guitar riff, drums and keys.[6][12] It is reminiscent of that heard on "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode.[6][7] Lyrically, "It Ain't Easy" is about the Sugababes as people and balancing their lives with their careers.[4] The album's eighth track, "Bruised", contains a repetitive "da-na-na" backing vocal[16] and is lyrically about a tempestuous relationship.[10] Buchanan revealed that the song is about being in an unhealthy relationship, saying: "Every time they come close to you, you get bruised".[13]

The ninth track of the album is a cover of Animotion's new wave single, "Obsession".[4] Hoffman described it as "sugary synth pop".[7] The song contains "glittering" chord progressions of a 1980s nightclub.[6] According to Talia Kraines of BBC, the cover is an "almost exact reworking" of the original.[17] This is followed by pop track "Ace Reject", lyrically inspired by dysfunctional relationships.[9] Buchanan spoke of the song's concept and meaning, saying: "It's about the fact that we break up and make up and we don't know why."[9] The UK bonus track, "Better", features an "ooh-ooh-ooh" backing vocal and is lyrically about overcoming one's problems.[13][16] The song was compared to "Thank You" by Jamelia.[15] The album's twelfth and closing track is "2 Hearts", an acoustic-driven pop ballad that incorporates European electropop.[6][16] The song's instrumentation consists of guitars, horns, beats, bass, percussion and strings.[4] It also features a string grandeur similar to that of Hybrid.[6] The song is reminiscent of "Grace Under Pressure" by Elbow.[16]

Songs

According to Simon Price of The Independent, "It Ain't Easy" is reminiscent of "Rock Is Dead" by Marilyn Manson.[18] Alex Roginski of the Sydney Morning Herald wrote that the song "utilises electro clash for a grinding foray into R&B."[6] K. Ross Hoffman of AllMusic noted that the song "pits a menacingly swung, twangy guitar riff", which according to him is "lifted so blatantly" from Depeche Mode's song, "Personal Jesus".[7] Buchanan spoke of the song's lyrical content and meaning, saying: "It's basically about us as people. It's not easy being where we are now, trying to keep a balance between normality and doing this. When you're content within yourself, you should know how you are, and people around us know what we're like."[19]

Alexis Petridis of The Guardian named it better than the album's lead single, "Push the Button", while also describing it as "Depeche Mode's 'Personal Jesus' rewritten with its existential angst replaced by the travails of teen romance."[20] The Observer's Peter Robinson also noted a similarity between the two songs, writing that the track "breezily pays homage to Depeche Mode's 'Personal Jesus'".[15] He suggested it was one of the album's best tracks.[15] Hoffman wrote that "it's a wonder Martin Gore doesn't get a writing credit" in the song, "against a martial strut and agitated double-time group vocals."[7] Rick Fulton of Daily Record regarded it as one of the album's highlights.[21] However, Ben Hogwood of musicOMH acknowledged that although the song features "nervy vocals" from Buchanan, it takes "much of its source material" from Goldfrapp's song "Train", which according to him is "complete with an unsuccessful bridge passage."[22]

Sugababes performed the song at the Clyde Auditorium in Glasgow, Scotland on 20 March 2006, as part of their UK tour to promote Taller in More Ways.[23] An editor for The Scotsman described the song as a "Goldfrapp-matching" track to "Obsession", and named the performance one of the "best points" of the gig.[24]

"Gotta Be You" is a crunk&B song.[8] Ben Hogwood of musicOMH described it as an "electric piece of club R&B".[22] According to group member Keisha Buchanan, the Sugababes are the first British band to incorporate the American sound in their music.[8] Kitty Empire of The Observer called it "brooding R&B" and noted its reminiscence of "Try Again" by American R&B singer, Aaliyah.[25] Similarly, K. Ross Hoffman of AllMusic wrote that "Gotta Be You" "treads melodically close to the song", in which he described the latter as "majestic".[7] Another critic, Nick Southall from Stylus Magazine, wrote that it is "disarmingly close" to "Try Again".[26]

Buchanan explained the song's concept and lyrical interpretation during a track by track analysis of the album on the group's official website, saying: "This song is about reacting to the press when they slag you off, about how they judge you. When we heard the song we loved it. To be honest, any publicity is good publicity whether it's positive or negative, and it's taken us a while to get that. When the press write something negative and something that's untrue, it's hard to look at that in a positive way. We could really relate to the song."[27]

According to Alexis Petridis of The Guardian, Austin "adds a light, but none the less thrilling dusting of monotonal crunk-influenced synthesised honking" to the song. Petridis elaborated that this is "about as far as the album ventures into the realms of hos and playas, fuckin' the atmosphere or otherwise."[28] Ben Hogwood of musicOMH gave a favorable review; he described it as a "dancefloor anthem in the making and surely a future single".[22]

Talia Kraines of the BBC was critical of "Gotta Be You", calling it an "annoying" and "dull r'n'b-lite" track.[29] Hoffman of AllMusic was also unfavorable of the song, writing that it "pillages less successfully" compared to other tracks from the album.[7] He elaborated that despite a "passable foundation of synth-fuzz R&B with trendy tabla-esque skittering", the song "can't help but pale by comparison" to "Try Again".[7] Alex Roginski of the Sydney Morning Herald criticised the songwriting as "flat".[30] According to Joe Muggs of The Daily Telegraph, "Gotta Be You" "feels like a deliberate attempt to woo the US market".[31]

Taller in More Ways received generally favourable reviews from music critics. K. Ross Hoffman of AllMusic awarded the album 4 out of 5 stars, labelling it "among their strongest" and favouring "the simple yet effective electro-pop club ditty 'Push The Button' [and] even better in that category [the] monstrously funky 'Red Dress'", as well as 'Follow Me Home' and 'Ugly', calling them two "aptly pitched inspirational mini-epics". The review was less favourable about the final three cuts saying they "fail to leave much of an impression". He described "Gotta Be You" as "[a song that] can't help but pale by comparison [with] Aaliyah's majestic 'Try Again'."[7]

Alexis Petridis of The Guardian, however, was favourable of 'Gotta Be You', referring to Austin as "[someone who] clearly knows where Sugababes' strengths lie", further stating "[Austin] adds a light, but nonetheless thrilling dusting of monotonal crunk-influenced synthesised honking to 'Gotta Be You'." He was less favourable about their cover of 'Obsession', stating, "sadly, Sugababes' version sands off the edges rather than amps up the lunacy: what's left is like 1980s night at karaoke". He also remarks that "you get the impression that they would be happier making R&B". In conclusion, however, he states that "the album's strike rate is far higher than you might expect from a manufactured pop act's fourth album; it avoids the obvious pitfalls and its highpoints are genuinely high", giving the album 3 out of 5 stars.[8]

Peter Robinson of The Observer, gave the album 5 out of 5 stars, summarising it as "the cool yet commercial pop queens put a spring in Peter Robinson's step", although saying "only occasionally do the band drop the ball: 'Better' is an excellent song but sounds too much like Jamelia's 'Thank You'".[15] Nick Southall from Stylus Magazine gave the album a B+, also noting similarities with Aaliyah's single, stating "'Gotta Be You' is disarmingly close to 'Try Again'", further concluding it as "not the best album in the world or even of the year, not obscurantist schizeclecto meta-pop like Annie or M.I.A. or loaded down with po-mo pop.cult. signifiers like Girls Aloud, it doesn't impart a skewed existential narrative like Britney, but 'Taller In More Ways' is absolutely bursting with tunes, and as such it's hard to resist."[16]

The album was ranked number 23 on Observer Music Monthly's Top 100 Albums list in 2005.[36]
