History Music / Stooshe

Though their image is prone to people thinking of three [[Music/JessieJ Jessie J]]s put into one group, their music is actually soul reminiscent of groups such as The Supremes. However, their lyrics are often more explicit and [[ClusterFBomb swearier]] than the Motown songs they were inspired by.

* DevelopmentHell: Their debut album, which had the WorkingTitle ''Swings and Roundabouts'', was due to be released in in June 2012, but was pushed back to November after the band underwent a change of image. ''Then'' it was pushed back to March 2013 after their cover of "Waterfalls" didn't do so well in the charts. However, since the "original" album has already [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes leaked in its entirety]], this may not have been a wise decision to make.
** The album, now titled ''London With the Lights On'', was finally released in May 2013.
