Revolution in Me is the debut solo album by Siobhán Donaghy, on 29 September 2003. The album debuted, and peaked, at #117 on the UK Albums Chart. Her forename is stylised as 'Siobhan' for this album, as opposed to the correct styling of 'Siobhán'. The album was reviewed well in European countries, including Sweden and Finland.[2] The album was released with the Copy Control protection system in some regions.[citation needed] Two singles were released from the album: "Overrated" and "Twist of Fate".

A 20th anniversary edition of the album was released on 8 December 2023. It was preceded by the release of an album outtake, "Pop Illusion", as a promotional single.[3]

Background

Donaghy was twelve years old when she signed a management contract with producer Ron Tom, who helped form British pop group All Saints in the mid-1990s. Two years later, in 1998, Donaghy became a founding member of Sugababes when Tom introduced her to Mutya Buena and Keisha Buchanan. The group signed to London Records, and their debut album One Touch was primary produced by Cameron McVey. She was sixteen years old when their first single "Overload" was released in 2000. The song and album were critical and commercial successes, with "Overload" receiving a nomination for Brit Award for British Single of the Year.[4]

However, Donaghy acrimoniously exited the group in August 2001 during a promotional tour in Japan. Tensions between Donaghy and her bandmates were reported by numerous publications during the album's promotional cycle. Donaghy said she and Buchanan "had nothing in common at all, and we went on not to get on. She was Mutya's friend, so I ended up being the odd one out." Buchanan and Buena reportedly invented their own coded language to exclude Donaghy from conversations. Buchanan and Buena said Donaghy never returned after she "excused herself to go to the toilet" at an airport,[5] while Donaghy said she and Buchanan had a "falling out" when in Japan.[4] Donaghy later accused Buchanan of bullying, saying: "It was clear that there was someone in that band who never wanted me in it and that's Keisha. She never wanted me in that band and made my life a living hell."[6] Buchanan has denied accusations of bullying other members of the Sugababes.[7]

Immediately after quitting the band in Japan, Donaghy flew back home to her family in Eastcote, Middlesex. She said she suffered panic attacks and a nervous breakdown in the following months, explaining that at this point she would have been "happy never to work again. I had got to the point where I'd look in the mirror and not know who I was. I felt like I didn't have a personality. I'd lost my identity... I felt like a zombie. A dead person."[4] She was later diagnosed with clinical depression,[8] and prescribed anti-depressants.[5]

Composition and recording

Following Donaghy's departure from the Sugababes, the group was dropped by London Records, although the label opted to retain Donaghy's contract as a solo artist. She was then sued by the band's manager. Donaghy said she spent all the money she earned as a member of the band fighting the lawsuit. Several months after leaving the band, she traveled with her sister to Ibiza for a holiday, where she met Johnny Lipsey, who had produced several tracks on the first Sugababes album. On returning home, Lipsey reintroduced Donaghy to Cameron McVey, who invited her to record at his home studio in Eastcote. Donaghy then began writing material with a new team of songwriters. During this time, the Sugababes – who had replaced Donaghy with former Atomic Kitten singer Heidi Range – had a UK number one single with "Freak like Me". Donaghy commented: "If I'd still been in that band, I wouldn't have given a fuck that I was number one."[5]

Several songs on Revolution in Me contain lyrics dealing with Donaghy's time as a member of the Sugababes. She said it contains lyrics describing "how being in the Sugababes made me feel. I learnt a lot—about how awful people can be. But it's not completely melancholy and about depression. It is positive. I was very bitter when I left the [band]. But one day I woke up and realised: shit happens. Get over it. I had enough of dwelling on it and blaming others. I felt I needed to become a better person."[1] Yahoo! Music said the record incorporates lyrical themes of "taking stock of life, controlling your destiny and searching for support."[9]

Donaghy said she and Cameron McVey "made a point" of the album being "quite rough-around-the-edges." She said McVey was inspired by their experience of recording "Overload", which was "done in one take on a 58 hand-held mic. That was what he saw in me and wanted for [the album]... A live band, a one-take vocal."[6] The record was primarily produced by McVey, his son Marlon McVey, and Marlon's Mattafix bandmate Preetesh Hirji. It also features production contributions from Matt Kent, Jody Street, Neil Pearson and Silvio Pacini.[10] The album was described by media as a pop rock record.[5][1] It additionally contains songs ascribed to the trip hop, hard rock,[1] alternative pop,[11] and alternative country genres.[12]

Musically, The Guardian journalist Alexis Petridis said Revolution in Me was "a world away from the R&B influences of the Sugababes", saying the album "has a peculiar character of its own".[5] RTÉ said: "It's clear from the opening moments of Revolution in Me that the ex-popstress has an edge under her belt that [other musicians] could only dream about." They said that from the opening track, Donaghy "lays out a stall with something decidedly more interesting to offer than that of her sickly sweet contemporaries."[13] Yahoo! Music described it as a "mostly refined, sophisticated pop, as might be expected, with Donaghy's undeniably powerful voice sitting centrally in the mix, never overbearing but never understated. The gently skittering beats are reminiscent of TLC's laidback soul-pop but there are twists and turns thrown to avoid the album sounding one-dimensional."[9] Although Drowned in Sound said it was "unfair to pass this off as One Touch Part 2", they also described that as "a fair conclusion", explaining that "The tripping beats and staggered vocal phrases make a welcome return here, along with a newly acquired sense of real songcraft."[11]

Songs

"Nothing but Song" is the first song on the album.[10] The track contains sampled audience noise and scratching,[9] a prominent bass riff and looped piano.[13] Drowned in Sound said the song "floats on unfinished piano lines and 'Disco Inferno'-style sampled crowd noise that becomes remarkably and inexplicably affecting."[14] RTÉ said the track exemplifies how Donaghy "lays out a stall with something decidedly more interesting to offer than that of her sickly sweet contemporaries."[13] "Man Without Friends" begins with gentle guitar lines, but gradually builds to a sing-along coda featuring the lyric "I start to unravel in my mind". Yahoo! Music said the song was subversive, saying its "laidback mood" dilutes the "acidity of the words".[9] "Overrated" is an alternative pop song,[11] and directly references her time as a member of the Sugababes.[4] RTÉ described it as "a frank account of disappointment and misery."[13]

Donaghy said "Little Bits" was one of her favourite songs on the record. She said that on the track, "I talk about my depression quite frankly, and it's a most beautiful piece of music—quite Massive Attack. It starts slow, raw and basic, with guitar-picking and a shaker, and builds up into this full-sound instrumental boom. It catches everyone. I always thought it should have felt like this before – really magical – but it never did."[1] The song builds to a crescendo featuring woodwind and string instrumentation.[9] "Next Human (XY)" features a xylophone, and the lyrics to the song use chromosomes as a metaphor for a romantic relationship.[9]

"Twist of Fate" had the working title "Hate", with its chorus containing the lyric "To say that I hate you is not an easy thing to say".[1] It is an alternative pop song,[11] with Yahoo! Music saying it "leaves behind the beats for close on five minutes of pure radio-friendly pop-rock with a naggingly catchy chorus".[9] Stylus praised Donaghy's vocal performance on the track, saying that during the chorus, her voice "opens up to reveal voices within voices, a meaningless platitude invested with phenomenal power", saying that her vocals created "that perfect unison of melancholy and hopefulness".[14] "Faces" is a sparse song built around a steel drum loop.[9] The track features a contribution from American musician Ry Cooder.[10]

"Dialect" is a hard rock song,[1] featuring electric guitars and heavy drum loops.[9] The Independent described it as being "as far removed from Sugababes as possible; it rocks." When describing her vocal performance on the track, Donaghy said she "was screaming on that one".[1] "Iodine" is an alternative country song.[12] Drowned in Sound described it as "the world-weary cousin" of the Sugababes's "New Year".[11] The track contains political lyrics, such as "There is no left-wing to fight the right-ring". RTÉ said that on first listen, "you actually do a double take. While Donaghy may seem a bit young to know much about the intricacies of global politics, her efforts have to be admired". They said Donaghy's work was "a lot of lot more ambitious" than the work of other female artists active at the time.[13]

The album received positive reviews from music critics upon release. Drowned in Sound praised Donaghy's songwriting, saying Revolution In Me demonstrates "exactly how much of an influence Donaghy had on the first Sugababes album." They went on to compare the two, saying neither were records that one could "fully digest on first listen." They said the album "makes you work for your pay off and thus will probably be largely overlooked by the masses. The sad thing is, given the proper attention, this could be the album to revitalise the woeful current state of pop music. Instead, it will have to make do with being the pop album of the year for those few in the know."[11]

Similarly, RTÉ said the album made it "clear the deeper-thinking Donaghy took the soul" of the Sugababes "with her when she left". Their writer contrasted Revolution in Me to Three, the album the Sugababes released around the same time. They noted that while Three was "likely to outsell Revolution in Me ten times over", they said this would be "a shame". They praised the quality of songwriting, but said the album was "difficult to categorise: it's too smart to sit alongside Girls Aloud in the commercial pop world, but it's not quite offbeat enough to be embraced by the indie masses." [13] Yahoo! Music said it was "refreshing to see Donaghy take the road less trodden. It's unlikely to put her at the top of the charts, but then one suspects that was never really the point. More power to her for making a debut that shows flashes of real intelligence and inspiration instead of going for the cheap thrill."[9]

The Observer described Revolution in Me as a "fine album", and a "rounded meditation on the teenage psyche."[15] Stylus praised the quality of the songwriting, performances and production, saying: "The words are hollow enough to climb inside, and the music is warm enough to keep you there once you're in, acoustic guitars, fathomless beats and skittish electronics binding songs together. And Siobhan, the ancient naïf, with her voice like syrup and cut glass."[14] In a mixed review, The Guardian commended the quality of Donaghy's lyricism, saying that her "unstinting candour provides a welcome edge to a set of songs that sometimes feels neither here nor there." However, they went on to lament the lack of "pop" refrains, complaining that as "pleasant as the album is", the absence of hooks "may be to its detriment."[12]

  • As the booklet includes eight additional front covers, there is no official album cover, as anyone can change the cover.
  • Interviewed on BBC Three's Liquid News show around the time of the release of "Twist of Fate", Siobhan mentioned the turkeys in the video, and said that they were more relevant to her upcoming Christmas single, "Iodine". However, no further single was released.
