Sugarland are so enamored with the singer-songwriter pop sound they heard while on tour in the U.K. that they're looking to move more toward pop themselves. Although the music of Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush is labeled country, the two have said in interviews -- both separately and together -- that they proudly cross musical genres. You can hear that in some of their hits including 'Stuck Like Glue,' which the duo co-wrote with Shy Carter and Kevin Griffin, a founding member of rock band Better Than Ezra.

"I love all kinds of music," Jennifer tells The Boot, noting she and Kristian listened to a lot of songs by the Cure when they were writing songs for 'The Incredible Machine.' "We listened to that and it really blew us away. We had so much fun writing [songs for the album] and exploring different sounds. That keeps us from getting bored."
