Mutya Keisha Siobhan inspired by Rihanna on new song 'Drum'
Original Sugababes speak about their new material in first interview
- Mutya Keisha Siobhan: The original lineup of the band are back together under the sparse moniker of ''Mutya Keisha Siobhan'', and it''s all been timed very nicely.

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.
