Keisha Buchanan Not much info on this one yet, but as you are probably aware, ex-Sugababe Keisha Buchanan has quietly been working on solo material since her unceremonious sacking from the band in late 2009. ' Fearless ' is the first clip we've heard from these session, and is rumoured to be taken from her forthcoming debut solo album.

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 [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. Despite rumours that the original Sugababes were planning to reform, it seems that Mutya Buena has other ideas. Here she is making a guest appearance on an unusual project under the name of Nightshift , a crew of rappers covering Pitbull 's ubiquitous summer smash 'Calle Oche'. Apart from the mighty Mutya, the record features Sisqo (Sisqo!), Megaman, DJ Ironik, Tanto Metro & Devonte, TQ, Steelo and Juxci D.
It's settled, Keisha Buchanan is over her little fib with her former Sugababes colleagues, especially her long time friend Mutya Buena… or that's the general idea she's trying to confirm. Keisha Buchanan is apparently going to be working with her former band mate, Mutya Buena. She wrote the following on her twitter page: "I'll hopefully be working with mutya on my album! Lets see if i can get her attention 4 3 seconds first lol She's a busy bee. I think we both agree that we didn't get on, we were 12 when we met and sometimes we would argue [...]
It turns out that The Sun's 40th birthday TV campaign is a series, so last night we were treated to a new one about how great The Sun headlines are. Or rather were, as there didn't seem to be anything in the advert from since MacKenzie left. Gordon Smart is again stood, blinking awkwardly at the camera, trying to convince us that Sun headlines were something "you'd talk about in the pub later". Really? The headline ? There's probably only one headline which people were talking about hours later, but for some reason, The Sun [...]
According to HolyMoly , Keisha, Siobhan, and Mutya are reforming as the original Sugababes trio once again. Apparently, it's not just a vague rumor floating in the stratosphere: The site reports that the girls are already in meetings with producers and labels (reportedly William Orbit and Warner Records, respectively.) Additionally, Mutya all-but-confirmed that she is , at the very least, working with Keisha in an interview a few nights ago in Croatia. Too exciting! I wonder what they'll call themselves? Sugawomen?
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 [...]
Matt W emails to point out that, if you Google the Sugababes, the official site's metadata seems to be coming from some other, happier, time and place: As Matt points out: "The official website of the female pop group (consisting of Keisha, Mutya and Heidi)" So, not only is it out of date in terms of Keisha, but also, Mutya's in there too. Four years after she left, no less! You'd have to bet on Mutya being the only one who could do decent HTML coding.
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 [...]
Mutya, having failed to be evicted, has walked from the Big Brother house . She says she couldn't stand being away from her child any longer; the reality, and there's no shame in it, is that she wouldn't want to spend another second listening to the self-obsessed perpetually-confused Coolio. Coolio's defence, when challenged on being as boorish as he is balding, is that he's playing a character, or playing games. Clearly, he doesn't like himself much, either, the speed with which he denies himself.
Ashley Walters featuring Mutya Buena? I'm not gonna like that am I?! Well actually, I was pleasantly surprised. Whilst I wouldn't consider myself a fan of either artists, I approached this with nigh on a closed mind and it managed to prise the gates to my psyche open enough to squeeze its way in. It's Swindle's production that really does it for me here – the piano-led, modern gentle funk flavoured backing drew me in. Ashley is a skilled writer and his delivery is extremely on point. Beyond the typical boy/girl playoff this actually has a [...]
So, in yesterday's batch of highlights from Channel 4's rest home for the famous but confused, the producers injected a note of cruelty into proceedings by making people demonstrate the skills which made them famous-enough-for-celebrity-Bi g-Brother. Poor LaToya found herself singing along to one of her brother's songs and Mutya was invited to do a Sugababes song, rather than one of her solo efforts. At least Michelle Heaton was allowed to do a Liberty X song - although that turned out to be even crueller, given that she could no more hit a note than a [...]
i don't usualy get into the celeb reality shows, partly as i don't usually know who the 'celebs' are. the last celeb bb scraped the barrel but ended up the most controversial yet. i kind of hope standby contestant tony mortimer gets a go. ben adams was apparently in a band called A1. i don't remember them at all. i didn't remember the band ziggy from the last bb was supposedly in around the same time either. clearly i wasn't paying attention. mutya buena [...]
The cost of inviting O'Meara et al on two years back: This year, not only is Celebrity Big Brother sharing a sponsor with "prime time on ITV3", but they're even using the same break bumpers. Oh, the shame. So, Davina - dressed in an ostrich with Freak-from-Cell-Block-H gloves - is here to detail which C-Listers are prepared to risk everything for a chance to get invited back onto the B-List. Brought to you by Dreams, who must also be quivering alongside the collapse of MFI and the difficulties of their sofa-pushing brethren. Who do you have, Davina? [...]
A vague couple of words speculating that LaToya Jackson might be this year's Jackson in the Big Brother house unleashed an enormous monster of a Jackson fan in the comments: You would only have to bother Googling La Toya Jackson to know that she too is representing the pop world, with 10 albums released since 1980, a Grammy nomination for her songwriting. A few people out there may also know her recent US club chart hits Just Wanna Dance and Free The World under her alias 'Toy'. She was also part of USA for Africa - [...]
a collection of tunes that are crying out for a super kitsch cartoon video. download here amerie - crush possibly just meant to sound happy, not kitsch, but this remix conjures up images of bubbles, flying candy and glitter and there's nothing amerie can do about it... basement jaxx - romeo you can tell the jaxx heart kitsch by their album covers, even if you haven't heard the music. who else would put snowflake, [...]
Okay, I won't be at home for the next few days, so this is probably my only post for this week. For that reason, I double the treats. So I've got not only 5, as per usual, but 10 covers, collected from various compilations. You know, cover compilations are always hit-and-miss, of course you're not entitled to like every cover they slap on the tracklist. Well, here are the good bits. There's something for everyone, so I hope these will tide you over until I come back. Sorry if I sound hasty, it's just that I haven't packed anything for [...]
1, Sugababes plus or minus Mutya Buena If you're into British pop like me, I'm sure you've heard of Sugababes, aka Girls Aloud's resident not-as-hot-but-more-talented peer girl group. I'm not sure when this cover was done, while Mutya Buena was still a Sugababe or afterwards. mp3: Hey There Delilah (Plain White T's Cover) [Sugababes] Crazy MV to [...]
I just felt intrigued by the idea of Debbie Harry, Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse and Mutya Buena being under the same roof, in the same room, having a tea party. But since that probably won't happen any day soon, I'll make it do in the form of a blog post. You know, at the end of May, Blondie made an appearance on The Today Show singing 'Heart of Glass' with none other than Lily Allen (who's been covering the song in her gigs). It took a while for the video [...]
Ah, so that's what the years of festering resentement and the stench of loathing which the Sugababes were known for was all about: unreturned lipgloss , reveals Mutya: "We'd steal each other's clothes, make-up, you name it, just before we went on stage. We got pissed off with each other if we never got them back, though." Now, though, Mutya Buena is concentrating on her solo career - we imagine that it calls for concentration, like threading a needle: getting something soft and ill-defined through a tiny, tiny window: [...]
