Mutya Buena open to reclaiming Sugababes name for MKS
Published Thursday, Nov 7 2013, 10:25 GMT | By Daniel Sperling |
Mutya Buena has told Digital Spy that she is open to taking back the Sugababes name.
The 28-year-old is recording with original bandmates Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy under the name MKS, though it would appear the Sugababes name is no longer in use after Jade Ewen revealed to DS that the current line-up of herself, Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah split two years ago.
Speaking to us at Disney's 'Share the Magic' Christmas party on Oxford Street last night (November 6), Buena said that she is keeping "an open mind" about becoming the Sugababes again.
"You never say never," she said. "I think you should always have an open mind. And it is our name!"
Buena currently owns rights to use the Sugababes name on paper, cardboard and goods made from these materials, stationery and gift wrapping products.
The singer also claimed that she is not worried about MKS's debut track 'Flatline' only reaching 50 in the UK singles chart.
"I'm happy, and I love the song," she said. "I think it's probably one of the best songs we've ever done.
"It's not always about chart positions, it's about having fans that love your music and we've got such dedicated fans.
"We're able to go out and release music and feel like, 'Oh God, we never made it to number one'. I really didn't care if it went to number one or number 100. I just wanted people to recognise we were back together and we were enjoying ourselves."
Asked why she thought buzz about MKS and 'Flatline' hadn't transferred into more sales, Buena replied: "There wasn't a lot of promotion, to tell you the truth. And it came out on a Friday and charted on the Sunday - when does that give you enough time to promote your music?
"But you know what, I thought we did well. I'm looking towards the tour and coming back next year with the album and more singles."
