It’s finally time!
After months of teasing and titilating, the original line-up of the Sugababes, Mutya Keisha Siobhan, have given the first insight into their new material as a reformed three-piece.
Christened ‘Boys’, the track is not confirmed as a single. However, based on their new acapella performance of the cut (which you can view below), we’d be oh so amped if it was!
What are you waiting for? Take a listen below…
It’s been the comeback on the lips of many for months, however the original Sugababes – now known as Mutya Keisha Siobhan – made their triumphant live return at Ponystep‘s New Year’s party today.
Easily and already one of the most anticipated acts of the year, the Brit-Pop trio showed exactly why with a set that can only be deemed as stellar.
Watch below as MKS take Rihanna‘s ‘Diamonds’ to church, while also serving up fan favourites ‘New Year’, ‘Overload’, and ‘Freak Like Me’.
Brit-Pop trio Mutya Keisha Siobhan are revving up their long-awaited comeback campaign.
Due next year, the project is most notable in that it’s the first album the original line-up of the Sugababes will have released in over twelve years.
Already hotly anticipated, the ladies amplify their buzz with a new feature in Ponystep magazine; one which sees them pose it up on the cover of the publication’s December issue and also provide a revealing insight into how their comeback came to fruition.
Excerpts after the jump…
The original line-up of the Sugababes have been fairly quiet since announcing their comeback and new moniker Mutya Keisha Siobhan this Summer.
However, the ladies reunion train seems to have finally left the station; the trio walked their first red carpet together in over 10 years at the Q Awards in London last night.
Watch below as the talk to BBC Newsbeat about their return, new album, and the current line-up of the ‘Babes below…
With the obituary of the current line-up of the Sugababes all but read, the group’s original faces are gearing up to stage a storming comeback. One backed by a major label, who according to new reports have signed the ladies to a seven-figure deal.
Details after the jump…
After burning up the clubs for many a year, Afrobeats are finally roaring their way into the mainstream.
And with the likes of Tiwa Savage leading the way, next up is Kanye West‘s Nigerian protegee D’Banj.
A staple on the music scene of his homeland, the rapper was snapped up by Ye’s GOOD Music imprint last year, and has today unveiled the video for his first mainstream release ‘Oliver Twist’.
Armed with many an African ism (see: “gari”, “omotola”), the uptempo sees the rising star fuse the West with West Africa, blending up a banger of a track.
Hit ‘Play’ on the clip above (which features cameos from West, label mate Big Sean and Sugababe Keisha Buchanan) and let us know what you think!
For three years, former Sugababe Keisha Buchanan has maintained a dignified silence on the drama which saw her ousted from the group she founded in 2009.
And while karma has perhaps served as the best revenge (see: current state of the group, reformation of originals), Buchanan has finally opened up about her time in one of the UK’s biggest ever girlbands.
The segment featured on documentary ‘I’m In A Girl Group!’, which also juxtaposed soundbites from the brand’s 4th line-up.
Check out what Ms. Buchanan had to say after the jump…
Try as they have, the original Sugababes have had their cover blown.
Once shrewd in secrecy, their reformation has been confirmed by many a source – including Emeli Sande, who spoke to That Grape Juice recently about working with the Brit-Pop trio.
And it seems this had led the ladies to make less of an effort to conceal the comeback everyone’s waiting for. Case, point, the shot above, which saw members Keisha Buchanan and Mutya Buena pose it up with UK talent Wretch 32 and Daley at an industry function.
The photo follows months of public teasing on Twitter; a collective practice which frequently includes fellow “original” Siobhan Donaghy.
With the current incarnation of the Babes’ reportedly without a label or future prospects, the path seems clearer than ever for a the ladies who started it all to claim what’s theirs.
Pop belter Jessie J was the belle of the red carpet at the MOBO Awards 2011 tonight. Donning a gothic black ensemble, the ‘Do It Like A Dude’ singer was all smiles as she sashayed into Scotland’s SECC where the Urban annual was held this year. Just as well, as she she scooped the most awards on the night – taking home 4, including Album of the Year for her debut ‘Who You Are’.
Other stars in attendance at the event (which celebrates Music of Black Origin) were Jason Derulo, JLS, former Sugababe Keisha Buchanan, and the legendary Boys II Men.
