Sugar Ray's new album is more mature and varied

By James Tatum | January 25, 1999

Most people associate Sugar Ray with their surprise hit "Fly" from their sophomore album "Floored." The Orange County, California band threatened to be a one-hit-wonder when the overly metallic follow up single "RPM" flopped on the pop charts. While "Floored" was a fitting tribute to the range of influences Sugar Ray draws from, it often sounded disjointed in its efforts to juxtapose so many different sounds. With the speedy release of "14:59" Sugar Ray makes a good case that they will avoid the flash in the pan fate that a big summer hit can cause. The songs on "14:59" still vary from hip hop to punk to pure pop but the band has taken a simpler approach with the aid of former Bangles producer David Kahne. The album's first single "Every Morning" features a light acoustic sound over distinctly hip hop beats.
