'Revolution In Me' is the debut album from ex-Sugababe Siobhan Donaghy. Produced by Cameron McVey (Massive Attack/Neneh Cherry) and Donaghy herself, the album aims for a more contemporary adult pop/rock sound than that of the Sugababes. The singles 'Overrated' and 'Twist Of Fate' are also featured.

Siobhan Donaghy is 18 years old and already a pop veteran. After three and half years with the Sugababes, 11 months of which brought genuine Pop Fame, these days she's doing things the old-fashioned way; a live vocalist, with a live band, who tours in a transit van (for now). "I'm definitely good at roughing it", she grins, "I'm turning into a scummy bitch!"

It's no indie-reinvention, though. Siobhan's debut album, 'Revolution In Me' is sophisticated pop music across a diverse spectrum; 'As You Like It' is twinkling, grooved-out pop-soul, 'Little Bits'', an orchestral dreamscape, 'Man Without Friends', a glorious, strummed-up stroll through the vocal idiosyncrasies of Edie Brickell/Ricky Lee Jones taking a full three minutes to explode into blissful chorus..all sculpted through the multi-layered, playful, production dynamics of Massive Attack/Neneh Cherry producer Cameron McVey. Includes the singles 'Overrated' and 'Twist Of Fate'.

Former Sugababe, Siobhan Donaghy, left the band in September 2001 after their first album, OVERLOAD, unhappy with the musical direction the band were taking. Following an 18 month break, Donaghy released her first solo material--the UK top 20 single "Overrated"--followed by her debut full-length, REVOLUTION IN ME in September of that year. The album barely managed to dent the UK charts--reaching a disappointing number 117--and Donaghy parted company with London Records. Despite having no label, she pressed on with recording her second album, determined to have full artistic control over the material and presentation. In February 2007 it was confirmed that Donaghy had signed with Parlophone in the UK, releasing a limited vinyl pressing of the track "Don't Give It Up" to promote her next album, GHOSTS. The album was a startling progression from her Sugababes material and REVOLUTION IN ME, and was favourably compared to Kate Bush, RAY OF LIGHT era Madonna and even Liz Fraser of indie legends, the Cocteau Twins.
