I just rediscovered her music and wow is it good.

This track had so much potential as a single

    She's amazing! Her Ghosts album is one my favourites of all time, every track is fantastic! I really hope that one day she will make another album, i think at one point she said she was going to retire from music but i don't know if that is still the case.

    That track "Ghosts" is absolutely fantastic! I'd caught bits of some of her solo work and thought it was interesting, but this is so far beyond your typical girl band music you wonder what she was ever doing in the Sugababes.

    LOVE her. Have a listen to this song, which didn't even make the album.

    Adore her - both albums mean so much to me (I've lived a few traumas listening to them) - have the Revolution In Me Red Indian tattooed on my right arm

    Her music is fantastic. Revolution In Me was great, but Ghosts managed to top that. No idea why things didn't work out for her.

    Gotta thank this thread for bringing this album, and the title track of Ghosts to my attention - its a truly fantastic album, and Ghosts is almost epic. The use of the beatles style reverse recording is beautifully done.

    Not surprised it wasn't huge though, whilst it is fantastic, its probably not the sort of music you'd expect from an ex Sugababe - way too mature really. Sad that music of this quality doesn't tend to have much in the way of commercial success, its primarily the sort of thing that reviewers go mad about.

    I can't stand the Sugababes but Siobhan's solo stuff is fantastic.

    It's very sad that both of her albums were pretty much flops. I think he music isn't as instantly accessible as the crap the Sugababes release and because she never had a big budget behind her then she didn't really make it.

    The title tracks from both albums are my favourites, along with Man Without Friends, Dialect and 12 Bar Acid Blues.

    Anyone with the Sugababes first album, would know the original 3 are capable of anything :) their first album is mature, especially for a bunch of 16yr olds.

    I think her stuff does sound like early sugababes. I don't think I'll be rushing to listen to this song again. It scared me.

    Shame they went completely downhill with throwaway pop after Siobhan left ;) (it's even worse now; some of their tracks are absolutely dire)

    Well Siobhan never would have left if Keisha wasn't such a cold human being

    Shame this has turned into yet another Sugababes-bashing thread.

    But staying on topic, is Siobhan's first album worth buying? Because I'm always seeing people praising Ghosts, but hardly ever Revolution In Me.

    I think Ghosts is absolutely brilliant by the way, especially the title track and Medevac.

    I think her first album is better than Ghosts, but if you're in doubt I decided to be nice and post links to the tracks:

    1. Nothing But Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT_EwNXHjgc
    2. Man Without Friends: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJfQ8LDJQcg
    3. Overrated: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBLMSX09ZME
    4. Little Bits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s6mXGTHSes
    5. As You Like It: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmy-D_RKZhk
    6. Next Human (XY): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeS78Ckzfa4
    7. Suasex: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re-qFTPsVF4
    8. Twist Of Fate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-t1e_HJLZs
    9. Faces: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9t2B5QDu3k
    10. Dialect: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TavKs2_VQMM
    11. Revolution Me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rjteG1lpLQ
    12. Iodine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tg4JSTiLTT8

    It's a bit darker than Ghosts and less produced.

    I'm not normally one to refer people to reviews, but it has 5 stars on Amazon from 46 reviews (39 5* and 7 4*). Considering it was such an under performing album, I think that's pretty good.

    Thank you so much for posting all the links! I'll have a listen to them tonight :)

    I do really love Overrated, so hopefully I'll like the rest of the album.

    I was going to buy Ghosts when it was first released because i really liked the singles.

    However when I saw it in HMV they were selling it for something like £16.99 so i gave it a miss and told myself i'd get it either online or when the price went down... but i never did either :o
