One of the most anticipated re-unions of the year is MKS - MutyaKeishaSiobhan (orginal gals from the Sugababes) have just dropped their first video - FLATLINE. The song has received mixed reviews but I kind of like it. Its not got BIG HIT DANCE ANTHEM written all over it. Its more MELODIC COOL UNDERSTATED POP which I love! The Video was shot in LA LA LAND and has a great summer vibe. The single is officially out on 15 September 2013. Check it out below.
Emeli Sande has confirmed to MTV News that she has penned a song for the original Sugababes. I recently posted that the Sugababes were not reforming which was confirmed by some of the members (and is now obviously cobblers). Emeli said when asked of the rumours of the Sugababes reforming:
"Yes, that is true. I’ve written for the original line-up of the Sugababes, which I’m very happy about because I just loved them when they first came out."
"I loved their sound, it was so cool. It was very different, so I’m happy to kind of be involved in what started the whole Sugababes journey. It sounds amazing."
Gird you loins pop lovers as we get ready for the return of the original anti-girl band band! They haven't even released a tune and there's drama. Great to have you back girls and can't wait to hear your new tunes.
I LOVE the Sugababes. Let me re-phrase that, I loved the Sugababes circa 2000 to 2006 (thats version 1.0 and 2.0).
Siobhan left in 2001 and that was forgivable. Once Mutya left in 2006, it really wasn't the same band anymore. When Keisha left, it was like 'isn't it time to call it a day girls'? Apparently the pop juggernaut website that is Popjustice announced a re-union was in the works last Friday but this was refuted yesterday on the Guardian website with all three girls focussing on their "solo careers". Siobhan's 2 solo album's, 'Revolution in Me' and 'Ghosts' are both amazing records. Mutya on the other hand has not been so fortunate on the solo front. Her debut album didn't set the charts on fire but her collaboration with Groove Armada SONG FOR MUTYA was a POP Classic and my TOP SONG of 2007. I didn't realise she still had a solo career? Apparently Keisha is working on her debut album.
I am not sure who to believe or whats going on in the Sugababes world. If they did re-unite it would be one of the best POP Re-unions in recent years. Being in one of the bitchiest bands cannot be easy and if we think about it, that has been the main reason for all the changes in the band's lineup over the years.
I managed to see Sugababes live in London in April 2007 at the Hammersmith Apollo. Armelle was very new and very nervous from what I remember. She was focussing on her dance steps and staying out of Keisha's harms way. Keisha owned the stage and had STAR POWER and I was scared of her, just watching her sing in concert. I clearly remember going to front of the stage with my friend Fran and grabbing a random child and pretending I was a parent so I didn't have to go back to our crappy seats! Good times.
Here is one of the best Sugababes songs of all time - 'Run for Cover'.
2011 was an eventful year for moi, i finally bit the bullet and purchased a flat, i started this blog and I became obsessed with Twitter ( i now have 90 something followers - not sure how that happened). 2012 for me will be about my Europe trip in April/May and my 40th birthday and all my friends who will be joining the 4 Oh club. Not sure why i am advertising it here as i will be in a state of psychosis no doubt come 19 May 2011. I hope to hear new music from the Madonna and the Pet Shop Boys and am looking forward to hearing long players from new aussie bands Alpine and Strange Talk (my 2 hot faves from 2011)! So from vinylluver have a fab 2012 and thanks for visiting my little blog. Heres a song by the Sugababes singing their 2000 song NEW YEAR on UK tv show Top of the Pops.
