Flatline was produced by Dev Hynes, who has worked with The Chemical Brothers, Solange Knowles and Florence and the Machine.
"It's a lot more grown up obviously still soulful," added Mutya.
MKS band member Siobhan Donaghy, 28, admits that the trio are under pressure to re-create their original success.
"It's difficult because there were always going to be expectations about what we do," she said.
"The comeback single couldn't be obvious but it also couldn't be too out there and left field but I think we've hit the nail on the head.
"As for the album I think it's important there's not one sound because we all like different music."
