...do you think they'd have been more successful than what they were?

 

I ask because I was reading an article yesterday about them in the local music mag and the writer was basically saying that Siobhan's 'Ghosts' probably would have done better had it been released this year with the right promotion. He mentioned someone called Little Boots who seems to be doing the electro-pop/alternate thing Siobhan did and said she's had a good year with it. Then he spoke about Mutya's record and how that probably would have done better, too.

 

I just thought it was interesting and wondered what you guys thought.

 

I didn't listen to Mutya's record, but I can see where he's coming from when talking about Siobhan's. I think she'd have had a better chance if it was released now than when it was two/three years ago. Especially songs like "Medevac" and "Gold Fish" ... and even the two singles that were released. That type of sound seems to be becoming more popular.

Mutya's album about the same and Siobhans maybe slightly better.

Probably not, Siobhan's solo work was never going to do well. Mutya seemed to have potential when Real Girl was out but for some reason Song 4 Mutya wasn't as huge as I thought it would be, don't see why it would be any bigger 2 years later.

Mutya's campaign was handled badly. If crown and Island hadn't been so f***ing incompetent and moronic then Real Girl would have done so much better.

I don't think sibhans sound was electro or boots-like, its all timeless and epic so probably not much different. The thing is though, siobhans album could have had a chance if they'd released the more conventional but stunning tracks like coming up for air, as singles. She could have totally kidnapped the natalie imbruglia type fanbase with that.

Mutya probably less successful. People wouldn't remember her even from the babes any more and the whole soul angle is dying off again

 

Can't wait to see what they do next though. Give these girls a solo album then 1.0 please!

Siobhan most certainly have done alot better this year had she been given the right promotion and push.

 

Mutya still would have flopped horribly (rightfully too, sorry). 'Song 4 Mutya' however, would have been bigger I think :o
