"Flatline" - Mutya Keisha Siobhan

The band Mutya Keisha Siobhan recently released the lyric video for their debut single, "Flatline":

Interestingly enough, although this is the band's first single, it is not the first single from Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy, the band's members. The women are the founders of the band Sugababes, which they formed in 1998; however, Donaghy left the Sugababes a short time after their first studio album was released and was replaced by Heidi Range. Buena left the band in late 2005 and was replaced by Amelle Berrbah; in 2009, Buchanan was removed from the band and was replaced by Jade Ewen. Buchanan's removal marked the departure of all original members from the Sugababes.

Buena, Buchanan and Siobhan formed MKS last year and will release "Flatline" in September. I hope that the three women will stick with the band after their first album and that the history of the Sugababes won't be repeated under a new name. As for the the three current members of the Sugababes, their most recent album, Sweet 7, wasn't exactly well received and it's not known what the exact status of the band is; Ewen recently stated that they're "pretty much done" but she was contradicted by Berrabah. I hope they'll continue, although I am concerned that with the unpopularity of Buchanan's depature combined with the original members forming a new band, it might not be far from the end of the Sugababes, at least in their current form, anyway.
