It was written by band members Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena, Heidi Range, and Brian Higgins, Miranda Cooper, Tim Powell, Nick Coler, Shawn Lee, Lisa Cowling, and Bob Bradley of the Xenomania team. It is the first single to feature vocals by Amelle Berrabah. Produced by Higgins and Xenomania, the song was released on 6 March 2006 by Island Records. It contains a sample of Northern Soul track "Landslide" recorded by American singer Tony Clarke. "Red Dress" has prominent dance-pop, electropop, europop, house and synthpop characteristics in addition to influences of feminism and heterosexual attraction.

"Red Dress" received mainly positive reviews from contemporary music critics. It achieved a peak of number four on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the group's third top ten hit in the United Kingdom from their fourth album, Taller In More Ways. It also garnered international chart success, reaching the top ten in Hungary and The Netherlands, and the top twenty in Ireland, New Zealand and Norway.

The music video accompanying "Red Dress" was directed by the late Tim Royes and premiered on 10 February 2006 on TRL UK. The video has a glamour theme, showing the group's members walking up and down a catwalk runway in the fashion of supermodels wearing red dresses. Sugababes have performed "Red Dress" as part of their set-lists for their Taller In More Ways Tour, Overloaded: The Singles Tour and Change Tour.

[edit] Background

"Red Dress" was co-written by Sugababes band members Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Heidi Range in the following manner: "The three girls sit in separate corners of the studio each writing a verse or chorus."[1][2] The group co-wrote the song in collaboration with the Xenomania team that included: Brian Higgins, Miranda Cooper, Tim Powell, Shawn Lee, Lisa Cowling, Nick Coler and Bob Bradley.[1] "Red Dress" was one of two Sugababes-Xenomania-produced tracks chosen to feature on the group's fourth studio album Taller in More Ways, the other track being "Ace Reject".[3] Xenomania are most well known and highly acclaimed for their work with Girls Aloud on their singles in addition to their work on previous Sugababes singles: "Round Round," "Hole in the Head" and "In the Middle."[1][4] The song was mainly produced by Higgins with the assistance of his Xenomania team and Richard Edgeler.[1] "Red Dress" was mixed by regular Sugababes mixer Jeremy Wheatley and Xenomania team member Tim Powell at the TwentyOne Studio in London, England.[1] The track's vocals were recorded by Dario Dendi with the assistance of Chris Poulter and Zoe Smith at Eden Studios in London in 2005.[1] The song's mastering was courtesy of Chris Parmenidis.[5] The keyboard instrumentation in the track has been credited as being done by Tim Powell and Brian Higgins (also keyboard programmers), and Tim "Rolf" Larcombe and Jon Shave.[1] The bass to "Red Dress" was developed by Bob Bradley (namely the opening track riff) and the track's guitaring was produced by Nick Coler and Shawn Lee.[1]

On 17 December 2005 "Red Dress" was revealed by HMV as the third single to be released from Taller in More Ways.[6]

On 21 December 2005 it was announced that Mutya Buena had left Sugababes, according the announcement on the group's official website: "Mutya's decision was based purely on personal reasons and she will continue to remain the best of friends with Keisha and Heidi."[7] Amelle Berrabah then joined the band and replaced Buena's vacancy in order to continue the Sugababes brand.[7][8] Because of this situation, Berrabah had to re-record Buena's vocals on "Red Dress" for its single release in addition to re-recording Buena's vocals on "Gotta Be You" and "Follow Me Home" for the re-issuing of Taller in More Ways.[3] The re-recorded version of "Red Dress" with Berrabah's vocals features on the group's first compilation album Overloaded: The Singles Collection.[9]

On 17 January 2006 Jo Whiley premiered the re-recorded version of "Red Dress" for the first time on BBC Radio 1.[7] The version which features Berrabah's vocals gave the fans of the band the opportunity to hear her voice for the first time, Berrabah's vocals on the track were described by John Murphy of musicOMH as being "Not all that different" to the original vocals of Buena.[7][10]

The single cover art for "Red Dress" was revealed on 10 February 2006 and has been said to resemble the cover art that was present in the covers of the group's Angels with Dirty Faces era.[11]

Like previously Xenomania-produced Sugababes singles "Round Round," "Hole in the Head" and "In the Middle" - "Red Dress" was developed to an electropop, europop and synthpop up-beat groove, being composed to a tempo of 120 beats per minute and in a key of E/Em.[12][13] "Red Dress" is constructed in the following manner: Intro - 1 verse - bridge - chorus - 1.5 verse - bridge - chorus - chorus - outro.[14] Amelle Berrabah sings the song's intro, two bridges, chorus melody and outro.[14] Keisha Buchanan sings the first verse, chorus harmony, a third of the second verse and the ad-libs before the outro.[14] Heidi Range sings two thirds of the second verse and in the call-response outro with Amelle Berrabah.[14]

Lyrically, "Red Dress" is influenced by feminism and deals with issues of self-confidence and attraction. The song's lyrics mainly refer to how a woman does not want to wear attractive clothing or engage in seductive dancing to attract a man because she has done that in the past, and in the past it attracted the type of men she did not want.[15] In contrast, the lyrics aim to portray that a woman should be herself, be confident in who she is and if a man does not want her for who she is then she is better off without him.[15]

The song makes use of a rejiggered horn section sampled by a '60s Northern soul cut from the song "Landslide" recorded by American singer Tony Clarke.[16]

[edit] Critical reception

"Red Dress" received critical acclaim from contemporary music critics alike in addition to garnering comparisons for Sugababes in similarity to the singles released by rival British girlband Girls Aloud.

Stuart McCaighy of This Is Fake DIY said: "Red Dress is top of the range pop [...], demonstrating that Xenomania don't keep all their best songs for Girls Aloud."[16] Peter Robinson of The Guardian highlighted the song as a stand-out track on the group's fourth studio album Taller in More Ways and further mentioning: "Red Dress is a thumping tour de force from Xenomania, the hitmakers behind signature Sugababes hits 'Round Round' and 'Hole in the Head'. Not unexpectedly, it flirts vivaciously with pop songwriting convention, boasting not one but two killer choruses."[17] John Murphy of musicOMH reviewed the single as follows: "Red Dress is fresh, sassy and catchy as hell, with new girl Amelle Berrabah's vocals sounding, well, not all that different to the departed Mutya's to be honest. There's also thankfully no 'message' behind the song unlike the rather contrived 'why can't we all just get along' lyrics of the girls' last single Ugly. It also sounds a bit similar to Girls Aloud, which is no doubt due to the presence of the Xenomania team on production and writing credits. Another great single."[10] Ross Hoffman of Allmusic reviewed as follows: "[...] the monstrously funky "Red Dress," a Xenomania track reminiscent of their frisky Girls Aloud productions, that makes excellent use of a rejiggered horn section sampled from a '60s Northern soul cut."[18] "Red Dress" also got a thumbs-up from Virgin Media: "Red Dress is an irresistibly funky effort from the amorphous trio and their producers - good enough, in fact, to erase all memory of its disappointing predecessor, Ugly. On first impression it sound rather like they've swiped a large leaf from Girls Aloud's book [...] - shedloads of quirky sassiness mixed with an infectous fuzzy bassline, borrowed from Tony Clarke's Northern soul classic, Landslide."[19] Liz McGrath of Electronicbeats.net said that the song is the group's "token housey song" from Taller in More Ways.[20] Nick Southall of Stylus Magazine referred to the track as being an "up-tempo floor filler [...] with maximalist stomp."[21] BBC used the adjective "foot tapping" in its take on "Red Dress".[22] Sputnikmusic positively reviewed the track: "Red Dress is one of the stand out tracks on ''Taller in More Ways'' is a superb dance/pop song where they [Sugababes] claim they are "cooler than the red dress". Even with just one chorus it would be a good song, but Red Dress has two, one following the other to make it super catchy."[23] Dooyoo.co.uk said that the song is: "Quite similar to Joy Division, a very pop feel to it, sounds slightly Girls Aloud".[24] IndieLondon.co.uk's review: "[...] the effortlessly catchy Red Dress [..] evokes memories of the easy-going style of [Sugababes] past hits Round Round and Hole In The Head."[25] MTV gave "Red Dress" a four-star rating, mentioning: "Red Dress is undoubtedly one of the better songs in the album [Taller in More Ways]. Its dancefloor[disambiguation needed ] destroying beats and two catchy choruses showcase the true Sugababes brilliance that we've known from their previous #1's, Round Round and Hole In The Head to name a few."[26] Digital Spy said that "Red Dress" is among the group's most danceable of songs.[27] HMV reviewed the song as follows: "Impossibly catchy [...] with a thrillingly infectious pop chorus that will burrow into your brain and take up residency for the rest of the year."[28]

[edit] Chart performance

"Red Dress" was a chart hit both in the United Kingdom and internationally.[29] It is the group's most successful third single to-date in terms of its chart peak of number four in the United Kingdom, but is yet to surpass the sales of "Stronger"/"Angels with Dirty Faces", the third single from the group's second studio album Angels with Dirty Faces.[30]

On 18 March 2006 "Red Dress" debuted at number four on the UK Singles Chart, and in addition it was also the highest new entry of the week on the chart.[31] In its second week, for the chart issue date of 25 March, it dropped three places to number seven and then a further three places to number ten in its third week in the UK top ten.[32] It then continued to steadily drop down the chart, falling six places to number sixteen in its fourth week and then a further six places to number twenty-two in its fifth week on the chart.[32] On 22 April the single fell a mere three places to number twenty-five in its sixth week on the chart before freefalling to number thirty-seven and then to number fifty-three in its seventh and eighth weeks in the chart.[32] The single was at number fifty-five and then number sixty-seven in its ninth and tenth weeks on the chart before exiting the chart on 27 May 2006.[32] At the time it became the band's sixth highest charting success in the UK, behind Sugababes number-one singles "Freak Like Me," "Round Round," "Hole in the Head" and "Push the Button", and previous single "Ugly" which peaked at one position higher than it at number three.[30] This, in turn meant that Taller in More Ways" became the first Sugababes album to yield three top five hit singles.[30] In addition to the above mentioned singles, "Red Dress" failed to outsell the following Sugababes singles which peaked lower in the charts than it: "Overload," "Stronger"/"Angels with Dirty Faces" and "Too Lost in You".[30] As of 29 June 2009 "Red Dress" had sold a total of 98,428 copies in the United Kingdom alone.[30]

"Red Dress" missed out on becoming the band's seventh top ten hit in Ireland due to greater popularity in other chart debuts of that week: George Murphy's "Something Outta Nothing" which debuted at number seven and Bow Wow's "Like You" which debuted at number nine - "Red Dress" debuted at number twelve on 9 March 2006 as the third highest new entry of the week.[33] It went on to spend eight weeks within this chart and become Sugababes's eleventh Irish top twenty hit.[29] On 18 March 2006 the single debuted at number seventeen on the Dutch Top 40 before climbing seven places to reach a peak of number ten in its second week on this chart.[34] It spent a total of thirteen weeks in the chart and became Sugababes' seventh top ten hit in Netherlands and second top ten chart placing for "Red Dress".[29][34] "Red Dress" debuted at number thirty-seven on the Mahasz Singles Chart on 27 March 2006.[35] It went on to peak at number ten for two consecutive weeks and spend a total of fourteen weeks on the chart.[36] This became the single's third top ten chart placing after "Red Dress" also reached the top ten in the United Kingdom and Netherlands.[29] It became Sugababes' fifth top ten and fifth most successful hit in Hungary behind "Hole in the Head," "In the Middle," "Push the Button" and "Ugly".[36] On the Ultratop Flanders Chart in Belgium, "Red Dress" debuted and peaked at number thirty-five on 22 April 2006.[29][37] It spent four weeks on the chart and became Sugababes' tenth top forty hit in Belgium.[37] In Australia, the single debuted and peaked at number twenty-two on 14 May 2006.[38] In turn becoming the band's fourth most successful single in Australia behind "Push the Button," "Round Round" and "Ugly".[38] It went on to spend a total of twelve weeks on the chart, and became Sugababes' tenth and last top forty hit in this country.[38] On 21 May 2006 "Red Dress" debuted and peaked at number thirty-one on the Swiss Singles Chart, spending twelve weeks on the chart and becoming the trio's twelfth top forty hit in Switzerland.[39] "Red Dress" debuted and peaked at number seventeen in week eighteen of 2006 on the Norwegian Singles Chart, becoming the twelfth top twenty hit for the 'Babes in Norway.[40] The single debuted and peaked at number sixteen on the RIANZ New Zealand Singles Chart, spending seven weeks on the chart and becoming the band's sixth top twenty hit in New Zealand.[41][42]

"Red Dress" also garnered chart success for Sugababes in Austria, Czech Republic, Germany and on the European Hot 100 Singles Chart.[29][43][44][45]

On 17 December 2005 MTV revealed the following details regarding the music video for "Red Dress":

The video for Red Dress will be shot in black and white with only the color 'red' visible. The story features two alternate versions of the girls: one group will show them as prostitutes working in a bar (all three wearing red dresses), and one group will show them as clean, goody-goody girls. It will be filmed in Tokyo on February.[26]

In an interview prior to the video, Berrabah announced: "We're re-shooting the video with director Tim Royes. We're really looking forward to it as there are going to be lots of costume changes. Its going to have a catwalk show theme with lots of mad outfits, very over the top and extravagant, we can't wait!"[46] The video premiered on TRL UK on 10 February 2006.[47] The video was directed by the late Tim Royes, well known for his work with Holly Valance, Rachel Stevens and Emma Bunton among others, as well as for later directing the music video for Sugababes 2006 single "Easy".[48] Royes later passed away on 13 August 2007 after being struck dead in a car accident in New York City, Sugababes later dedicated the music video for their single "About You Now" to Royes.[48] As part of their endorsement with Pretty Polly, Sugababes wore endorsed hosiery in scenes in the video.[47] As The main theme of the video is glamour, with flashing lights, reflective surfaces, and classy surroundings heavily effected by stage lighting instruments mostly in the colors of pink, red, blue and black in addition to the circular orange spotlights that continuously focuses on Range, in a strapless red dress and black outfit throughout the video. The video begins with Berrabah modelling up and down the catwalk runway wearing a red polar-necked dress that is cleaveged on her upper back and held together by a black material belt around her waist. Her hair is short and covered in a black-netted veil. In the next scene, Buchanan is hiding behind massive feather fans overshadowed in sharp light blue lighting. The main scene involves all three girls engaging in synchronised attitude-marching. Buchanan is wearing a traditional red dress, with her hair tied back in a ball and her nails polished in black - she models with her one hand on her hip. In another separate scene, Buchanan is dancing like a stripper in an enclosed room, wearing a polar-neck top striped in the colors beige and red. Her hair is loose in this scene and large circular ear-rings are also visible in this scene and throughout the video she is against a wall dancing to the camera. In another scene, Berrabah is singing whilst lying on a black chaise longue in a black outfit with her hair long and loose. Range is seen is sitting and swinging on a massive suspended steel hoop, and dotted throughout the video sitting on a red floor playing with a large disco ball under her high heel, and later leaning on it seductively with her elbow. She is wearing large stick-like earrings, a black outfit, loose hair and a black strap-like accessory around her wrists. There are several closeups of the girls' faces, and main group shots of them all in a room with pink colored shag carpets and cushions all around them with a light purple curtain as a backdrop, laughing, smiling and conversing with one another. In this scene, Buchanan is wearing a pink sleeveless top with matching knee-height socks and baby blue beach shorts. Berrabah is wearing a white sleeveless top with pink beach shorts and matching pink knee-height socks. Range is wearing a baby blue sleeveless top with matching knee-height socks and black beach shorts. All the girls' hair is loose in this scene as they roll around and pose on the carpet. The video runs and switches between scenes at a very fast pace, namely between the shagged carpet, runway and solo scenes to contribute to its glamour/dance floor vibe and theme. The video itself garnered comparisons to the music videos of En Vogue's "Free Your Mind" and Sophie Ellis-Bextor's "Get Over You".[47]

[edit] B-sides

According to an announcement MTV made in December 2005, the CD single of "Red Dress" was to be accompanied by two brand-new b-sides entitled "Lustful Dancefloor" and "Heatwave" - both of which were Xenomania-produced. This plan was later aborted.[26] Instead, the b-sides to the single were: "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" originally done by British rock band Arctic Monkeys and "Obsession" an album track from the group's album Taller in More Ways originally recorded by Animotion.

[edit] "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor"

In January 2006 the group announced they were going to cover Arctic Monkeys' number-one hit "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" as a b-side to "Red Dress".[49] This was to be the first Sugababes song with Berrabah on vocals that were not originally recorded by Buena.[50] The girl group unanimously decided to recreate the rock band's song, saying: "We loved it even though it knocked us off number one! ("Push the Button" in October 2005) When our bosses asked us to think of covers for the b-side, we knew which song we would all love to do."[51] A thirty-second preview audio clip of the song leaked on 15 February 2006 with the full version leaking two days later on 17 February.[50] Sugababes performed a live cover version of "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" on Top of the Pops which later aired on Sunday, 14 May 2006.[52] Q named the b-side within the top twenty best cover versions for the last twenty years (1986–2006) where it features as the second track on Q's Best Of compilation album for this particular recognition list.[53] Jimmy Draper of Time Out said: "Sugababes transform the punky rave-up into a disco stomper that [...] could make even the staunchiest pop-hater get up and dance."[54] The song was produced by Dennis Christopher, the primary remixer for the single release of "Red Dress".[55] The group's cover version, in addition, went under the alias of 'Arctic Babes Mix'.[55]
