Sugababes’ Original Lineup Hit The Studio Together
Fri Jan 6 2012 by Robbie Daw
Ah, Sugababes — a hugely-successful UK act that has even warmed the cockles of a small but loyal legion of followers here in the States. Unfortunately, as the original members of the girlie trio have dwindled one-by-one and been replaced over the course of the band's 14-year history, all we're left with is the shell of a trio that attempted to release a new single last year ("Freedom") — only to have it yanked by the label — and that is pretty much on hold while Heidi Range takes part in Dancing On Ice. Thankfully, the latest reports from across the pond have it that the original 'babes — Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy — are back in the studio!

Wed Dec 30 2009 by Robbie Daw
Who needs the original Sugababes lineup to reform when founding member of the group Mutya Buena is turning out grade A trash like "Can You Persuade Me," a cover of Pitbull's smasheroo "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)"?
The track is by the outfit known as NightShift, who, according to their/his official MySpace, "were able to combine the genotypes of 11 international multiplatinum UK, US and Jamaican artists to create a powerful and hypnotic combination."
And part of that combination includes Sisqo. Yes, that Sisqo—the one with the silver hair who sang "Thong Song." Hear "Can You Persuade Me" below! More »

Are The Original Sugababes Going To Reform—And Put Out Solo Records? (Please Say Yes, Especially To That Last Bit)
Tue Nov 3 2009 by Maura
A UK gossip site is reporting that the three original members of the girl group Sugababes—Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena, and the completely brilliant Siobhán Donaghy, all of whom have left the band since it was formed way back at the turn of the millennium—are in negotiations to reform, and put out an album. This bit of rumormongering comes in the wake of the announcement that the forthcoming album by the current incarnation of the band, the American-audience-tilted Sweet 7, has been pushed back to next February amidst internal strife of the legal and medical sorts. And of course it raises the question of what the new/old version of the group would even call itself at this point. (Sugababes UK? The London Sugababes?) But the best aspect of this rumor is this little nugget… More »
Mutya Buena Adds To The Post-Sugababes Shakeup Press Overload
Tue Sep 22 2009 by Maura
The news of founding member Keisha Buchanan leaving the UK pop trio the Sugababes, and being replaced by Eurovision contender Jade Ewen, continued today as the BBC tracked down former member (and Big Brother alum Mutya Buena for her thoughts on the shakeup. Perhaps unsurprisingly, she is calling shenanigans! “Obviously, Keisha being the original that was left out of the band, her leaving doesn’t make it Sugababes. I’m not trying to put my foot into it, but I wouldn’t be surprised [if she had been forced out] in any way just because people were trying to say she was the bully [before the news of Buchanan's leaving broke].” And she even went the “dis the new iteration of the group by complimenting the replacement” route, saying: “She would be a lot better as a soloist, because she’s got an amazing voice. It would kind of seem like she’d be the frontline, and there’d be two backing singers.” Oh, Heidi Range. Are you gonna take that??? The full interview after the jump. More »
