Sweet, but not so innocent: The Sugababes get raunchy in a photoshoot for their new album Sweet 7

Sweet like Suga: Heidi Range and Jade Ewen pull their best poses for the launch of the new Sugababes LP Sweet 7


Their album hits the shops this week and the Sugababes appear to be on fine form ahead of its release.

The girls took part in a photoshoot for the new album, Sweet 7, and showed just why they have become one of the UK's most popular girl groups - despite several changes to the line-up.

Dressed in black and posing in front of a bright yellow-orange background, the girls looked amazing pulling a range of fierce poses for the shots.


Taking the plunge: Amelle Berrabbah wears a dress with a plunging neckline in the raunchy shoot


Amelle Berrabah, 25, wore a black bikini-style top with a plunging neckline and mirrored detailing, while Heidi Range left little to the imagination posing in a revealing dress with a huge slash across the midriff - the top section appearing to be little more than a bra with a zip down the front.


The end: According to a recent report Amelle, Heidi and Jade have agreed to end the Sugababes if any one of them leave the group


Jade, 21, who came fifth in the Eurovision Song Contest last year, re-recorded some of the vocals on the album that had already been laid down by Keisha.

Speaking of the new record, Amelle said: 'The sound just emerged for us. We wanted to make the album as Sugababes sounding as possible and wave the British flag at the same time, we've pushed ourselves and stepped it up.

'We're working with a new stylist this time round. Different image. Raunchy. Taking our clothes off basically!'

According to a recent report Range, 26, Berrabah and Ewen have agreed to call time on the Sugababes should any of them leave the band.

Heidi Range, who is engaged to TV presenter Dave Berry, said: 'We've said if something happened again we wouldn't carry on the band with someone else. This is it. It's taken time to adjust, but we're really happy now.'

The girls have been known to occassionally play at events that don't cater for a typically 'pop' audience and this year is no exception.

Amelle, Heidi and Jade will headline the Gaymers Camden Crawl on May 1.
The chart-topping trio will open the two-day gig at venues around London's Camden Town, while Lostprophets and We Are Scientists top the bill on the closing night on May 2.

Other acts lined up for the London stages include Mercury Music Prize winners Speech DeBelle and Ms Dynamite, I Blame Coco, Roots Manuva, New Young Pony Club and Gang Of Four.
Sweet 7 hits shelves tomorrow.
