About Soul Sound

"Soul Sound" is a song by British girl group Sugababes from their debut studio album One Touch (2000). It was written by Charlotte Gordon Cumming during a trip to Kenya, Africa, where she was inspired to compose it based on her experiences there. Produced by Ron Tom, "Soul Sound" is a pop song featuring guitar and bass instrumentation. It was released in the United Kingdom on 16 July 2001 as the album's fourth and final single. Critics praised the song for the group's demeanour although some regarded it as inferior in comparison to the album's other tracks. To promote the song, a music video was directed by Max & Dania; it features the Sugababes in an apartment where their souls are released by the music. The trio performed "Soul Sound" at Manchester Ampersand and at the London Notre Dame Hall. The song became the group's lowest-charting single at the time, peaking at number thirty on the UK Singles Chart, and remains one of their lowest-selling singles to date. It was the final single that they released through London Records. It was also their last single to feature original member Siobhán Donaghy, who left the group shortly after the song's release, until the original group members reformed as Mutya Keisha Siobhan (later regaining the Sugababes name) in 2011.

I, touch the sky, all around, it's alright
And oh you wouldn't believe
What's happening to me
Expectations all around
My intuition knows no doubt I could
Lose my way on this merry-go-round

So I, like a bird will fly
To the sea
Just what could it be
And patience I will learn
Before this fire burns
Intuition's got a hold on me
There's magic in the air
I want to breathe
Change, change all around
Go with the rhythm

The soul sound (oh mm)
The soul sound (mm, mm)
The soul sound (oh mm)
The soul sound

So I, like a bird will fly
To the sea
Just what could it be
(What could it be yeah)
Patience I will learn
Before this fire burns
Intuition's got a hold on me
There's magic in the air
I want to breathe
Change, change all around
Just go with the rhythm

The soul sound (oh mm)
The soul sound (mm, mm)
The soul sound (feeling free)
The soul sound

Dun-duna, duna-duna, dun-duna, ooh
Sould sound
Dun-duna, dun-duna, dun-duna, dunn
Wait a minute soul sound
Ah, ooh ah, ooh ah, ooh ah

The soul sound (oh mm)
The soul sound (mm, mm)
The soul sound (mm, mm)
The soul sound (mm, mm)
The soul sound (wait a minute soul sound)
