"Strong hooks, memorable melodies and Bebe Buell is still rockin' some thirty years after giving birth to daughter Liv Tyler. All the songs on Sugar are power pop and rock laced with a little punk, strong hooks, memorable melodies and lava-like lyrics. Bebe sings her you-know-what off in this sort of tribute to Marianne Faithfull's Broken English. - Roger Friedman, Hollywood Reporter
"Bebe is my kind of rock chick. [She] does an amazing cover of 'Air Kisses For The Masses.' The video is incredible!" - Paper
"A Princess, a Queen, a mom, a rocker, a model and, of course, an amazing singer!" - JUICE (National Skateboarding Magazine)
Singer Bebe Buell's first record in ten years, Sugar is a deeply autobiographical, cinematic rock'n' roll affair. Wide in scope and intensely emotional, Sugar is quite a ride. It is almost impossible to capture the remarkable life and career of Bebe Buell in a few paragraphs...with her place in rock music history, muse to some of the top rock stars of our time and her own enduring and respected musical career. Her years of razor sharp musical instincts as a singer, songwriter and performer culminate with this new disc.
Bebe has the unequaled gift of being able to delve into a song and spark it to life with immediacy and poignant raw emotion; whether performing her own works or her always groundbreaking choices of songs by other writers. Album highlights include the opening track "When We Were Godhead," Bebe deftly paints a picture of her early days on the scene with her uniquely powerful delivery; "Black Angel" a beautifully heartbreaking tribute to her late friend, Joey Ramone; "Untouchable" - a smoldering performance of a Johnny Thunders' song that he always wanted her to cover; "Timeline" - a venomous tale in a tasty pop setting and the sexy future pop of the title track. |
