😆 I think we may be in the minority Helen 😂😉 A lot of people seem really keen on seeing the hits... I do get it, I just think it would be unfortunate for any of the Lost Tapes songs to be missed out of a live show and that doesn't leave much time for the classics 🙈 Maybe they could do like a Lost Tapes Sessions-type show if that makes sense? I remember the Corrs doing something like that once, it was really intimate, not a huge crowd - but it could be an excellent way to showcase the album... ❤ Happy New Year to you by the way!
🥰 It's incredible isn't it!? What a treat for us going into 2023 and I hope its given the group a huge boost too, they deserve some recognition for their hard work and this incredible album! And HAPPY NEW YEAR Jack! I really hope 2023 is a great one for you ❤🥳
Hey Dave 👋 These extra tracks were the perfect addition to The Lost Tapes! Brilliant!! I have to agree, this album and the whole of 2022 have shown that people still (and quite rightly so!) have a massive appetite for the girls and I can't wait to see what this year brings for them! Xx
Hey Dave love your videos. I love the new album, I’ve been listening everyday. I think with future performances definitely tracks from the lost tapes but also some classics. Looking forward to seeing them perform at the O2! 😊
Hey Indi 👋 thanks so much!! Have you had it on a loop? 😉 I do that and am possibly at risk of over playing it 😂 but so what, it's sooo good! Yes, the general consensus seems to be that fans still want a few hits sprinkled in, I think I'm in the minority in wanting them to focus on newer stuff now, but either way I'm totally up for whatever they do 😆 Oooh that's so exciting your going to the O2, I think it's gonna be a really special night, and like you, I can't wait! I'm also excited to see what they do in Aus - being just after the release of The Lost Tapes, I think those shows will be incredible! Thanks again for watching and sharing your thoughts ❤️
Back to Life was always amazing, very happy to see it released. I had forgotten about the Breathe Me demo, but I really like it, I love the way the song builds up over time. Only You is great too. All in all, they're very welcome additions to an already stellar album. I'm just even more desperate to own a physical copy now. I'm sure they'll sell brilliantly. I wonder if they'd do a similar Amazon exclusive promotion like with the 20th anniversary re-release of One Touch, where it had the bonus 3rd disc with extra songs and remixes. A bonus disc for Lost Tapes could have some of the lesser known demos on it and/or remixes. I also really want to see the girls release a live album. Their live performances are incredible and I would be so happy if they released an official live recorded album of one of their shows 🥰
I love this SP! That's a great idea with the Amazon bonus disc, I hadn't thought of that- I've said in another comment here that it would make the whole release perfect to get a physical edition, I really hope it happens 🤞 Ahhhh you so speak my language 🥰🥰 a live album would be soooo good, I really think the demand is there for it too, the fans would be all over it! They shadow-dropped the Lost Tapes on Christmas Eve so I guess anything is possible at this point... 😆🤞❤ Happy New Year by the way! Wishing you and yours all the best for 2023 🥳
I personally want to see The Lost Tapes album milked because it's an instant classic full of unending hits. But the girls have since recorded even more music so we're in for a freaking galore of greatness!
Hey Patrick! 👋 thanks for watching and leaving a comment, I'm with you all the way on this! I said to someone else how I don't skip any of the tracks and I don't have that often with albums today - even with artists I love, it's quite rare. 🤣🤣😂 Love that! Bring on the freaking galore of greatness 🙌😂
@@DavesDeepDive In my 40 years of being alive the albums I've never skipped tracks on 3 albums. Eternal - Always and Forever. Mariah Carey - The Emancipation of Mimi and now Sugababes - The Lost Tapes. That says it all. Still playing it on a loop as in 5mins ago cycling around. It's a masterpiece
@Patrick Adichie ahhhhhh Eternal 😫 that's an incredible album, love it!! You are so right, it does speak volumes! You seem to have excellent taste, I'd love to see a playlist of yours it sounds like we'd have a lot in common! I'm playing it too 🙈😂 I'm obsessively going back to Back To Life when it's not just playing through and I cannot wait to see if they do it live - it's what I picture when I listen to it 😆😆
@@DavesDeepDive Haha thanks for the compliments mate. The song that I find my mind is obsessive about is Love Me Hard. I'm not a ballad person so if I like one it has to be a killer one and Love me Hard just touches me everywhere. I'd like to share my playlist with you it's quite a mixture of songs that make me dance like just now as a cycled home. On my way out I played The Lost Tapes. Twice.
I totally agree they need to promote their new/mks stuff…….they are the torch bearers…..and will deffo leads us in to an elevated era of the SUGABABES!!!
Hey Lee 👋 thanks for watching and leaving a comment! Really love how you say that, "the torch bearers" you're spot on!! Can't wait to see what comes next 😆😆😆 Happy New Year to you ❤
Thanks for another great video, Dave. I only just realised "The Lost Tapes" had a deluxe edition released with three bonis tracks. I was thinking the surprise they were hinting was there appearance on the New Year's Eve Bash on ITV. I too think there could be a few potential singles from this album. Maybe it could depend on the success of the album and potential singles as to whether they'd include classic tracks in there future tour and performances. I'll be interested to hear if there upcoming Australian tour is something like 60 % popular classic hits and 40 % there material from The Lost Tapes. Going forward I could imagine if tracks from The Lost Tapes become successful enough they may to focus on the current rather than the past, but I think it'd be nice to make reference to there history too. I think in one of there MKS gigs in 2012 or 2013 they ended it with a mash-up of Flatline and Push the Button. Hope you've recovered from New Year's Eve and have a great start to 2023.
Aww thanks for watching Matt! The deluxe edition was sooo unexpected! Yeah I think the Aus tour will be quite revealing in some ways, I'm hopeful they will push this material and that they get the response they deserve, I'd personally flip your 60/40 the other way though 😉 😂 I do love the idea of them doing a medley or something like that, I'd love to see the mashup you mentioned - it's a good way to honour the legacy as well as mix up some of the tempos/arrangements of the songs so they blend into one another, of course the Overload/About You Now performance for NYE was similar and transitioned nicely too... I think it's also a good way to incorporate a lot of songs (album tracks) they would never sing in full but that's probably wishful thinking on my part 🙈😂 I'm really excited for 2023 Matt, I hope it's a great one for you too and thanks so much for your comment ❤
@@DavesDeepDive I've messaged you the mash-up I could find. There may be others circulating online. I agree about going forward maybe they could focus on 60 % more recent material and 40 % classic popular hits. However I would've thought with the Australian tour next month if it's similar to the recent UK tour I'd imagine it'd mostly be the familiar classic popular hits and hopefully introducing some of The Lost Tapes tracks. But I'll be interested to see what the setlist is. Are there any past tracks you'd like to see original line-up perform live? Are there any past tracks you hope to never hear again? Haha. I think my least favourite singles are Girls, Get Sexy (in full, apart from Keisha's verse), and Walk This Way (though I know that was a charity single and not sure if it ever made it to an album). Thank you. I hope 2023 is kind to us all!
As always your content is the best, Dave! Thank you for this! As for further live performances I would love the girls to do whichever and how many songs from the Lost Tapes they feel like they want to...but I think some songs need to be performed ALWAYS (Overload, 3 hits from Angels, 2 hits from Three, Push the Button and About You Now) As for the album itself...there is no words to describe what I feel about this record and how important it is to me...there is no filler ALL killer...I still think Three is their best album but the meaning of the Lost Tapes makes it their Magnum Opus...
😂 love this! I can't argue with your pick of the hits, when you're dealing with timeless classics it's probably a bit silly to overlook them 😆 🙈 That's an excellent point about the album, I can tell how much it means to you and I was thinking the same thing myself, a rare album (nowadays) that you can listen to all the way through and not even want to skip a song! That doesn't happen often for me, so I can totally relate to you and I love your passion for it 🥰 Just to quickly add, thanks so much for your support since day one, I really hope 2023 is a great one for you ❤❤
Beat is Gone and Metal Heart are my favourites since I'd already overplayed Flatline to death during the MKS era. I really wish that they would've put Lay Down In Swimming Pools on the album, in my opinion that is one of their greatest tracks!
🤣 I was the same Monique, flatline definitely got worn out for me 😂 Sooo many people have said that about Swimming Pools, I know everyone has their favourites but there are certain omissions that we can all agree are really unfortunate, and Swimming Pools is definitely one of them... Love your top picks from the album by the way, and thanks so much for watching ❤❤
Love your jumper! I am really enjoying Breathe me but I have to say I do like the stripped back version more. I just love them when they do things with just a guitar or piano. 🥰 Back to Life is one of their best, of any line up. Almost gospel like.
😘 thanks Andrew! I can't argue with you on that one, the Breathe Me demo was beautiful! I think we'll see that stripped back version on the tour though 🤞 I can't believe how much I must've overlooked the Back to Life demo, this version is incredible and I'm actually listening to it as I type this message 😍😂 Like I said in the video, this will be amazing live, can you imagine the end with the crowd singing along... I can feel the goosebumps now 🤣 HAPPY NEW YEAR my friend, I feel very lucky to have met you this year and had such a great time when we met the Sugababes - looking forward to new adventures with you in 2023 😆
@Dave Harris totally agree with you. I cannot wait to see what they have instore for us next. I saw there was a bidding war with record labels to sign them up so big things could be around the corner. Thankyou, really appreciate that, and was wonderful to meet you also and share the Sugababes experience. Happy New year and here's to a lot more Sugababes! Haven't been this excited about a group for a very long time! 🥰😁🥰
I love like 9 songs of the album I mean I worship these songs(all minus drum, beat is gone and metal heart which didn't resonate w me, I don't reach for flatline either) and didn't even notice that there was a deluxe so I am so happy there are 3 more songs for me to discover. I just love them! Real music from real life, soul! I was so happy to play these songs almost every day since it was launched. Can't take my ears off of it!
Hey Elena 👋 thanks for watching! That's so great you've discovered the deluxe edition, Back To Life was one of the added tracks and it's by far my most played at this point 🙈 I'd love to know what you think to it (and the others of course) when you've had a proper listen! 😆 You make an excellent point there, it doesn't really matter if you're not keen on a few songs, you still love them for the quality music - I love that! You're enthusiasm is definitely infectious - will you be going to any of the live shows this year? I can't wait to see them performing tracks from The Lost Tapes, it's so exciting 😆❤
@@DavesDeepDive I had to pause u to listen and I AM SO IN LOVE, I can't believe the soul, the quality.....oh and btw as a Romanian fan I never listened to the demos because 15 years ago I wouldn't have known where to look for them. I knew music gets leaked and all that but wasn't too nosy. The deluxe got straight into my heart and the spotify fave list.
@Elena Niculescu 🥰 Aww that's so great you had a listen and that you loved it/them! I see what you mean about the demos, they were really incredible as you've seen from The Lost Tapes, I'd love to see your reaction to the others 😆 it really is some of their best matierial in my opinion 😉❤
@@DavesDeepDive I didn't feel the other lineup first of all sound wise, MKS is the best. I am a Sugababes fan for a long time, since I was a teen(I'm 33). I too thought that this album is one of the best they did. I simply can't choose a fave song.
Holy Moly - what a surprise that was! Did not see THAT coming! What a treat! 🍬🍭🍧 🌺Back to life: I have completely fell in love with this song!!!🥰 - as UA-cam has been my only source to listen to the leaked demos, I had only heard this song a couple of times. Also, It did not resonate at first - but has now become one of my favorites! And I totally agree: It could be an amazing live act!!! I am actually a bit blown away by this song!!! 🌬 🌺Breathe me: What a great take on a beautiful song. But must admit, I think it leans on being slightly overproduced. My hope is that working together with Sia on “Victory” and now this cover might make some Sia fans tap into Sugababes’ music. In general, I just want THE WHOLE WORLD to discover Sugababes!! That is all 😉 ! 🌺Only you: Good edition. Its an okay song - high level as the rest of the album, but personally does not resonate like some of the other songs… I do like Electro Pop, but perhaps it is because it is leaning towards House/Dance it is not my one of my personal favorites - again: I might be wrong on the genre 🧐😏😅 Other thought: Now I only need a cd/viny to be released, containing “Arrow” and “Too in Love” too. Perhaps also "Garage Flowers". Then my little musical heart can be completely and utterly content❣🥰🥰🥰 ❣, And even if “Too in Love” (The instrumental part) has been giving to another artist, Sugababes’ version is still quite different AND so many artist samples other artists’ music nowadays… I do still think “Entertainment” and “Lay Down in Swimming Pools” (and Flowers💐) also are some of the highlights of the MKS era, but unlikely to feature on an actual album. Regarding future live acts/concerts: Oh, I totally agree on, that the songs from The Lost Tapes” can stand alone - from a pr. aspect, I still think it is still clever to include “the good oldies”. Perhaps you can make a dedicated video on which songs people dream of being on the setlist of future concerts in 2023! 🎼🎵🎶 May 2023 be a SUGAlicious year🦚🦜🐝🐞 - and keep making great vids, Dave!!!💥 Cute Christmas shirt! 🎅🤶🧑🎄
Thanks CFSK! Love your comment and hearing your thoughts... I'm blown away with ya, and really surprised because like you I think I only heard the demo a couple of times before and it didn't jump out at me like this version does! I feel you with the overproduction on Breathe Me, I really do think it's a shame they didn't opt for a more stripped-back version but I'm also hoping that's what they'll do it they perform it live this year 🤞 That's a good point about Only You, I have a couple of friends who are not huge fans of the Sugababes, yet they really like this song because it's a bit more upbeat, so I can definitely see the appeal but I'm with you on this one 😉 And I think you describe it really well, even if it's another genre I totally get you! 🤣 that made me chuckle, we definitely want your musical heart to be content and you're spot-on, a physical release would make the whole thing perfect, I wonder if they'll do it? It seems to me that The Lost Tapes have performed well, especially for an independent release, so it would make sense... Yes you're right, it would be sensible to include some hits, I think I'm just going a bit hyper on their new stuff 😂 typical me 🙄 but I love your video idea and I'm so excited to see what they do in Feb on the Aus tour, I think that will set the stage for the summer shows etc. 😆😆 Thanks for your support by the way! I appreciate it so much and really hope 2023 is indeed a Sugalicious year 😂 and also a fab new year for you 😘❤
Hey Pop! 👋 it's amazing isn't it, it genuinely knocked me off my feet, I WAS NOT expecting it 🤣 Was Only You always a fave of yours back in the demo days? You know that's so strange, I think it was one of your videos that popped up in my recommendations in UA-cam a few days ago, I saved it to "watch later" so I promise I will give it a watch and check out your channel! I've neglected those things recently, time has just ran away from me so please forgive me 🙏 I'll definitely make sure to watch and share the love ❤️
@@DavesDeepDive yeah please do and let me know what you think. Oh and the 3 extra tracks are songs I really don’t even remember from the leaks? I think they might have been much later leaks so I probably didn’t listen to them much
Hi Dave, Don't know if you follow the HonestVocalCoach but she is a big fan of Sugababes and has just uploaded her reaction vid to the National Lottery Performance.
Hey Alex 👋 if you mean all of the demos... these are what I'm aware of... Great Escape Fall From Grace Why Oh Why Arrow Pillow Talk Up In Flames Break My Heart TSOB Take The Wheel (and Drive) Calling Out To You Light Up Be Kind Open Book Entertainment (with Phoenix) Fly on the Wall Champagne and Roses Love In Stereo Three More Days Flashing Lights Romantic Call Garage Flowers Two Can Play Kiss Me Tonight Your Love Bye Bye Recover (2 versions, rough demo and demo) Paradise Say Goodbye Diamonds Why Did The Lights (I renamed this to Baby Hold On because it makes more sense 😂) Forever Ready Too In Love Enough Burnt Out Ate Me Up Waiting For You I feel like I'm missing some here, I'll have another look... 😉
Hey Robert 👋 thanks for leaving a comment. Yeah you're right, much longer than I thought it would be to be honest, particularly when you think that the Lost Tapes comprised of material recorded in 2013/14... I hope its because they're making sure they have the right selection of songs but I also think rehearsing for the summer shows they're doing could be distracting them in a way, or holding things up maybe?
@@DavesDeepDive Either that, or maybe 'When the Rain Comes' is meant to be a stand alone single, rather than the start of a new album or phase of activity.
Hey Lee 👋 Yeah that's such a great song... I love hearing everyone's "missing Lost Tapes" and I hope it inspires the group to release a "Part 2" with masterpieces such as Be Kind, Arrow and Up In Flames included - they have so many great demos that deserve this treatment 🤞😆 Thanks for watching and leaving a comment by the way 👍
@@DavesDeepDive I’ve not heard arrow. There were so many leaked on UA-cam at one point but all got taken down 😢 I always feel like it was Mutya who leaked them. I feel like she’s naughty and would do something like that out of frustration 😂 I think she would have been an amazing judge on something like xfactor. Thanks for uploading the video. I had no idea they released a deluxe version so wouldn’t have known about the additional songs if it wasn’t for you
Hey Lee, sorry I didn't see your reply! Your comment really cracked me up and it's really weird, cause I always thought it would be Keisha who would leak them 🙈 😂 but definitely, you make an excellent point, Mutya would be an amazing judge/coach, especially now she seems so much more confident in general 😍 Ahh that's great to hear, glad you found the tracks from this video 🙏 They are amazing additions to The Lost Tapes 🥰 I can't stop playing Back To Life at the mo 😉😂
Sweetheart , do you prefer the demo of summer of 99 more , I'm quite upset because the demo is just that tiny bit better , I did message keisha and I was very nice as she's responded to me before but I did say if you do release summer to release the demo one coz the guitar and drum just his me harder that the new version , not sure why the needed to change it
Hey Richard! Have to agree my friend, the demo version was definitely my preferred version too... in Keisha's latest vlog she explained that the producers either lost or didn't have access to some of the original recordings which I found interesting, but other than that I can't imagine why they would've put such a heavy production on it... I am still really excited to hear it live because I think that's gonna be the best version of it but fair play for making contact with Keisha to share your thoughts 👏 Like I said in the video, when you've listened to those demos a million times it can be hard to adjust to the changes but I think the demo of Summer will always be my preferred version 😉
I would love for them to do shows that were just The Lost Tapes. As you said, some of their finest work ever. Innovative, great lyrics, uplifting...!
😆 I think we may be in the minority Helen 😂😉 A lot of people seem really keen on seeing the hits... I do get it, I just think it would be unfortunate for any of the Lost Tapes songs to be missed out of a live show and that doesn't leave much time for the classics 🙈 Maybe they could do like a Lost Tapes Sessions-type show if that makes sense?

@@DavesDeepDive Great idea. Here's hoping!
It blew me away when the album straight to the charts on top 10 and this was the best come back. 😍
🥰 It's incredible isn't it!? What a treat for us going into 2023 and I hope its given the group a huge boost too, they deserve some recognition for their hard work and this incredible album!

HAPPY NEW YEAR my friend, I feel very lucky to have met you this year and had such a great time when we met the Sugababes - looking forward to new adventures with you in 2023 😆
@Dave Harris totally agree with you. I cannot wait to see what they have instore for us next. I saw there was a bidding war with record labels to sign them up so big things could be around the corner.
Thankyou, really appreciate that, and was wonderful to meet you also and share the Sugababes experience. Happy New year and here's to a lot more Sugababes! Haven't been this excited about a group for a very long time! 🥰😁🥰
I love like 9 songs of the album I mean I worship these songs(all minus drum, beat is gone and metal heart which didn't resonate w me, I don't reach for flatline either) and didn't even notice that there was a deluxe so I am so happy there are 3 more songs for me to discover. I just love them! Real music from real life, soul! I was so happy to play these songs almost every day since it was launched. Can't take my ears off of it!
Hey Elena 👋 thanks for watching! That's so great you've discovered the deluxe edition, Back To Life was one of the added tracks and it's by far my most played at this point 🙈 I'd love to know what you think to it (and the others of course) when you've had a proper listen! 😆
You make an excellent point there, it doesn't really matter if you're not keen on a few songs, you still love them for the quality music - I love that! You're enthusiasm is definitely infectious - will you be going to any of the live shows this year? I can't wait to see them performing tracks from The Lost Tapes, it's so exciting 😆❤
@@DavesDeepDive I had to pause u to listen and I AM SO IN LOVE, I can't believe the soul, the quality.....oh and btw as a Romanian fan I never listened to the demos because 15 years ago I wouldn't have known where to look for them. I knew music gets leaked and all that but wasn't too nosy. The deluxe got straight into my heart and the spotify fave list.
@Elena Niculescu 🥰 Aww that's so great you had a listen and that you loved it/them!
I see what you mean about the demos, they were really incredible as you've seen from The Lost Tapes, I'd love to see your reaction to the others 😆 it really is some of their best matierial in my opinion 😉❤
@@DavesDeepDive I didn't feel the other lineup first of all sound wise, MKS is the best. I am a Sugababes fan for a long time, since I was a teen(I'm 33). I too thought that this album is one of the best they did. I simply can't choose a fave song.
Holy Moly - what a surprise that was! Did not see THAT coming! What a treat! 🍬🍭🍧
🌺Back to life: I have completely fell in love with this song!!!🥰 - as UA-cam has been my only source to listen to the leaked demos, I had only heard this song a couple of times. Also, It did not resonate at first - but has now become one of my favorites! And I totally agree: It could be an amazing live act!!! I am actually a bit blown away by this song!!! 🌬
🌺Breathe me: What a great take on a beautiful song. But must admit, I think it leans on being slightly overproduced. My hope is that working together with Sia on “Victory” and now this cover might make some Sia fans tap into Sugababes’ music. In general, I just want THE WHOLE WORLD to discover Sugababes!! That is all 😉 !
🌺Only you: Good edition. Its an okay song - high level as the rest of the album, but personally does not resonate like some of the other songs… I do like Electro Pop, but perhaps it is because it is leaning towards House/Dance it is not my one of my personal favorites - again: I might be wrong on the genre 🧐😏😅
Other thought: Now I only need a cd/viny to be released, containing “Arrow” and “Too in Love” too. Perhaps also "Garage Flowers". Then my little musical heart can be completely and utterly content❣🥰🥰🥰 ❣, And even if “Too in Love” (The instrumental part) has been giving to another artist, Sugababes’ version is still quite different AND so many artist samples other artists’ music nowadays… I do still think “Entertainment” and “Lay Down in Swimming Pools” (and Flowers💐) also are some of the highlights of the MKS era, but unlikely to feature on an actual album.
Regarding future live acts/concerts: Oh, I totally agree on, that the songs from The Lost Tapes” can stand alone - from a pr. aspect, I still think it is still clever to include “the good oldies”. Perhaps you can make a dedicated video on which songs people dream of being on the setlist of future concerts in 2023! 🎼🎵🎶
May 2023 be a SUGAlicious year🦚🦜🐝🐞 - and keep making great vids, Dave!!!💥 Cute Christmas shirt! 🎅🤶🧑🎄
Thanks CFSK! Love your comment and hearing your thoughts...
I'm blown away with ya, and really surprised because like you I think I only heard the demo a couple of times before and it didn't jump out at me like this version does! I feel you with the overproduction on Breathe Me, I really do think it's a shame they didn't opt for a more stripped-back version but I'm also hoping that's what they'll do it they perform it live this year 🤞
That's a good point about Only You, I have a couple of friends who are not huge fans of the Sugababes, yet they really like this song because it's a bit more upbeat, so I can definitely see the appeal but I'm with you on this one 😉 And I think you describe it really well, even if it's another genre I totally get you!
🤣 that made me chuckle, we definitely want your musical heart to be content and you're spot-on, a physical release would make the whole thing perfect, I wonder if they'll do it? It seems to me that The Lost Tapes have performed well, especially for an independent release, so it would make sense...
Yes you're right, it would be sensible to include some hits, I think I'm just going a bit hyper on their new stuff 😂 typical me 🙄 but I love your video idea and I'm so excited to see what they do in Feb on the Aus tour, I think that will set the stage for the summer shows etc. 😆😆
Thanks for your support by the way! I appreciate it so much and really hope 2023 is indeed a Sugalicious year 😂 and also a fab new year for you 😘❤
Love that we got 3 extra tracks! Only You is so great.
Dave - have you checked out my Sugababes content over on my channel? 😌
Hey Pop! 👋 it's amazing isn't it, it genuinely knocked me off my feet, I WAS NOT expecting it 🤣 Was Only You always a fave of yours back in the demo days?
You know that's so strange, I think it was one of your videos that popped up in my recommendations in UA-cam a few days ago, I saved it to "watch later" so I promise I will give it a watch and check out your channel! I've neglected those things recently, time has just ran away from me so please forgive me 🙏 I'll definitely make sure to watch and share the love ❤️
@@DavesDeepDive yeah please do and let me know what you think.
Oh and the 3 extra tracks are songs I really don’t even remember from the leaks? I think they might have been much later leaks so I probably didn’t listen to them much
Hi Dave, Don't know if you follow the HonestVocalCoach but she is a big fan of Sugababes and has just uploaded her reaction vid to the National Lottery Performance.

@@DavesDeepDive gosh, thanks Dave - think there are a lot I missed! Much appreciated ☺️
No worries 👍 I've been racking my brain but can't think of any others... if I do I'll reply here 😉
It seems to be quite a long wait for a new album.
Hey Robert 👋 thanks for leaving a comment. Yeah you're right, much longer than I thought it would be to be honest, particularly when you think that the Lost Tapes comprised of material recorded in 2013/14... I hope its because they're making sure they have the right selection of songs but I also think rehearsing for the summer shows they're doing could be distracting them in a way, or holding things up maybe?
@@DavesDeepDive Either that, or maybe 'When the Rain Comes' is meant to be a stand alone single, rather than the start of a new album or phase of activity.
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
😂 ❤❤
Really wish they included ‘Be Kind’
Hey Lee 👋 Yeah that's such a great song... I love hearing everyone's "missing Lost Tapes" and I hope it inspires the group to release a "Part 2" with masterpieces such as Be Kind, Arrow and Up In Flames included - they have so many great demos that deserve this treatment 🤞😆 Thanks for watching and leaving a comment by the way 👍
@@DavesDeepDive I’ve not heard arrow. There were so many leaked on UA-cam at one point but all got taken down 😢 I always feel like it was Mutya who leaked them. I feel like she’s naughty and would do something like that out of frustration 😂 I think she would have been an amazing judge on something like xfactor. Thanks for uploading the video. I had no idea they released a deluxe version so wouldn’t have known about the additional songs if it wasn’t for you
Hey Lee, sorry I didn't see your reply! Your comment really cracked me up and it's really weird, cause I always thought it would be Keisha who would leak them 🙈 😂 but definitely, you make an excellent point, Mutya would be an amazing judge/coach, especially now she seems so much more confident in general 😍
Ahh that's great to hear, glad you found the tracks from this video 🙏 They are amazing additions to The Lost Tapes 🥰 I can't stop playing Back To Life at the mo 😉😂
Sweetheart , do you prefer the demo of summer of 99 more , I'm quite upset because the demo is just that tiny bit better , I did message keisha and I was very nice as she's responded to me before but I did say if you do release summer to release the demo one coz the guitar and drum just his me harder that the new version , not sure why the needed to change it
Hey Richard! Have to agree my friend, the demo version was definitely my preferred version too... in Keisha's latest vlog she explained that the producers either lost or didn't have access to some of the original recordings which I found interesting, but other than that I can't imagine why they would've put such a heavy production on it... I am still really excited to hear it live because I think that's gonna be the best version of it but fair play for making contact with Keisha to share your thoughts 👏 Like I said in the video, when you've listened to those demos a million times it can be hard to adjust to the changes but I think the demo of Summer will always be my preferred version 😉
Beat is gone
Instant classic!!! 😆🥰
