Sugababes 'Ghost' by Thomas James

Rob Ulitski - 28th Sept 2026

In one of the least expected match-ups of the year, girlgroup legends Sugababes go gothic, lured into a nighttime funeral by Thomas James, music video's reigning Prince of Darkness.

James brings his unmistakeable aesthetic to the Sugababes' video for Ghost, placing the trio in a funeral procession, setting off to the graveyard in the dead of night. 

Decidedly darker and more surreal than the groups' past videography - with the notable exception of their vamp-horror classic for Freak Like Me - James creates a rousing atmosphere that perfectly matches the direction of the track.

It's a real double-take of a commission, but it turns out that the 'Babes and Thomas James is a match made in Heaven. Or elsewhere...
