Original Sugababes speak about their new material in first interview
- Lily Allen: But she said she''d retired from the music industry? Well, yes and no; she said she would never again record and perform under the name Lily Allen. So, the now married Lily Cooper can do what she wants. That is some flipping impressive long term PR planning

Mutya Keisha Siobhan have revealed they have a new song inspired by Rihanna and Afrobeat.
Speaking in their first interview since reforming, the original Sugababes line up told Popjustice that they were keen to keep things as current as possible with their new material, citing a song called 'Drum' in particular.
"There’s a song called ‘Drum’ which we all love – it was one of the first songs we did. Actually, before we got signed to our label we’d finished half the album already. It was all about just going in and vibing off each other.," said Keisha.
Band mate Siobhan then added, "In the beginning we were left to our own devices to figure out exactly what we wanted to do. And the nice thing about ‘Drum’ is that we were working with a guy called MNEK who’s 17, and he’s incredible. It’s really exciting to work with someone like that who’s really fresh. ‘Drum’ is kind of Afrobeat."
There is no official release date for Mutya Keisha Siobhan's album though it will definitely be in 2013, according to the girls.
