==Musical style== The style of music S Club 7 has is usually pop, or more specifically [[bubblegum pop]]. Their first two singles had vocals shared equally amongst the seven members of the group, and it was not until their third single, "Two in a Million", that O'Meara became known as their lead vocalist. Although the band were to progressively change their style over the four years they were together, even their first album had many tracks atypical of the pop genre: "You're My Number One" and "Everybody Wants Ya" were [[Motown]]-driven, whereas "Viva La Fiesta" and "It's a Feel Good Thing" were both bouncy, salsa-driven Latino songs. Over the years their style and direction changed progressively with each new album. Their second album ''7'' had songs with styles that somewhat opposed the traditional pop songs that rival pop bands of the nineties were releasing. With the release of "Natural" in 2000, S Club 7 showcased a new [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]]-lite sound. The release of their third album, ''Sunshine'', gave audiences their biggest change: the album contained tracks such as the [[disco]]-influenced "Don't Stop Movin{{'-}}" and the R&B ballad "Show Me Your Colours". The album marked a more mature approach for the band. After the departure of Cattermole, S Club released their fourth and final album, ''Seeing Double'', including the single "Alive", which was called a power-packed dance floor filler. The single has a style similar to that of their final single, "Love Ain't Gonna Wait for You". The album contained dance tracks that varied from their original bubblegum pop stylings, such as the sex for the CBBC generation on "Hey Kitty Kitty". A reviewer for ''[[The Guardian]]'', referring to "Gangsta Love", said "S Club's spiritual home is the suburban disco, not urban underground clubs, and their attempt to go [[UK garage|garage]] on "Gangsta Love" ends up amusing rather than authentic".<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2002/nov/29/popandrock.artsfeatures3 | title=''Seeing Double'' Album Review | last=Clarke | first=Betty | work=[[The Guardian]] | date=29 November 2002 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071015135929/http://arts.guardian.co.uk/reviews/story/0,,849855,00.html | archive-date=15 October 2007 | url-status=live}}</ref>
