Review by Tony Griggs

Revolution In Me by Siobhan Donaghy: A Genre-Bending Trip Worth Taking Let’s cut to the chase—Siobhan Donaghy’s Revolution In Me is one of those albums that sneaks up on you like a cat in socks. Released back in 2003, it’s a wild mashup of pop, rock, electronic vibes, and enough stylistic twists to make your head spin faster than a DJ at peak hour. And while its release spanned continents from Hong Kong to Denmark (and everywhere in between), this album feels like it belongs somewhere timeless—a place where electro beats meet introspective lyrics over synth-heavy soundscapes. First off, let’s talk about “Iodine,” because how could you not? This track hits hard right outta the gate with its moody trip-hop vibe. It’s got layers upon layers—kinda like an onion but way less tear-inducing. The production team, including Cameron McVey (who also wore the executive producer hat) and Marlon McVey, really brought their A-game here. There’s something hypnotic about the way Siobhan’s voice floats above the brooding bassline; it’s sultry yet distant, as if she’s whispering secrets only you can hear. If I had to pick one moment that stuck with me after repeated listens, it’s when the chorus kicks in—it’s like being hit by a wave of nostalgia for emotions you haven’t even felt yet. Weird? Maybe. Awesome? Absolutely. Then there’s “Man Without Friends,” which flips the script entirely. Where “Iodine” is all shadowy corners and whispered confessions, this track bursts into life with a punchy pop-rock energy. Think shiny synths paired with crunchy guitars—it’s like someone took ‘80s new wave and gave it a modern reboot. Matt Kent and Preetesh Hirji deserve props for crafting such a killer groove, while Siobhan’s vocals bounce effortlessly between vulnerability and defiance. Lyrically, it’s relatable AF—who hasn’t felt like they’re flying solo sometimes? But instead of wallowing, the song turns loneliness into liberation. By the time the bridge rolls around, you’ll wanna grab your air guitar and pretend you’re starring in your own movie montage. The rest of the album keeps things fresh too, jumping between styles like Electro (“Suasex”), Synth-Pop (“Nothing But Song”), and even Post-Rock (“Dialect”). Tracks like “Revolution In Me” and “Twist Of Fate” showcase Siobhan’s knack for blending genres without losing her unique voice. Plus, mastering guru John Davies made sure everything sounded crisp enough to slap on repeat without getting ear fatigue. What strikes me most about Revolution In Me is how personal it feels despite its polished edges. You can tell Siobhan poured her soul into every lyric and melody—and hey, credit where it’s due, the whole crew behind this project clearly knew what they were doing. From Brendan Coyle and Chris Morrison keeping things running smoothly on the management side to Bob Andy throwing his lyrical magic into the mix, this was a true team effort. But here’s the kicker: listening to this album almost two decades later, it still feels ahead of its time. Like, did we accidentally invent time travel, or was Siobhan just psychic? Either way, Revolution In Me proves that great music doesn’t need to fit neatly into boxes—it thrives in the spaces between. So go ahead, give it a spin. Just don’t blame me if you find yourself humming “Iodine” during awkward silences or randomly busting out dance moves to “Man Without Friends.” Oh, and if anyone asks why you’re suddenly obsessed with early 2003 electronica-pop hybrids, just shrug and say, “It’s complicated.”

Siobhán Donaghy is one of the three original members of Sugababes (with Keisha Buchanan and Mutya Buena). Born Eastcote, Hillingdon, London 1984. In 2001 she left the band to pursue a solo career. While signed to London Records she wrote her début solo album Revolution in Me with Cameron and Marlon McVey, which was released in September 2003. The first single from the album was Overrated which made its way into the UK top 20. However, the second single, Twist of Fate, barely reached the UK top 75. Due the lack of proper promotion, and the failure of the second single, the album 'Revolution In Me' only reached #117 on the UK album chart. After the albums lack of success Siobhán left the label and was left without a recording contract. After an extended holiday she started to work on her second album alone. She subsequently signed with Parlophone, part of the EMI group. Parlophone released Dont Give It Up as the first official single on April 16, 2007 which debuted at #45 in the UK chart. Siobhans second album, Ghosts, was released in June 2007, peaking at #92 on the UK albums chart. Siobhan has collaborated with the likes of Morcheeba, James Sanger, Siobhan Fahey (ex-Bananarama and ex-Shakespears Sister). In October 2007, she had her London theater debut, appearing as Mimi in Rent.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a cool fact: Siobhan Donaghy's album *Revolution In Me* is like a musical melting pot. Released in 2003, it blends genres like Pop, Rock, and Electronic with styles ranging from Trip Hop to Synth-pop. What’s wild is how many hands were involved—multiple writers and producers, including her frequent collaborator Cameron McVey. Oh, and here’s the kicker: the track "Next Human (XY)" appears twice on the album but with slightly different titles. Was it intentional? A quirky oversight? Either way, it adds to the album's unique charm.

the sad thing about kesha is that shes actually incredibly intelligent and supremely talented, if you do your research. she simply plays a persona that she felt she needed in order to make it in the business. if you look up "kesha, goodbye" on here you'll find that she has a marvelous voice.

This is a weird arrangement for a song. It's a bit nothing for the first two thirds and then out of nowhere, a catchy chorus comes in. But why wasn't it put amongst the first two thirds of the song?
