Their debut single may have
flatlined, but original Sugababes line-up Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan
and Siobhan Donaghy were on good form as they made their way into a TV
studio on Wednesday.
The
trio were making an appearance on BBC Breakfast in Manchester just days
after new track Flatline failed to break into the UK Top 40 – a
potential death knell in the fickle world of pop.
Despite
the setback, all three girls – reformed and redefined as MKS – admitted
in a post on their official Twitter account that they had risen at the
crack of dawn in order to prepare for their promotional slot on the
show.
Feeling playful: Keisha Buchanan wears a stylish
patterned playsuit for an appearance on BBC Breakfast in Manchester on
Wednesday morning
‘Morning
tweets! Been up since 5am getting ready for BBC Breakfast :-) Tune in !
Xx,’ they tweeted shortly before taking their seats on the sofa
alongside hosts Bill Turnbull
and Susanna Reid.
Their efforts had clearly paid off –
with Keisha, 28, leading the way in a stylish patterned playsuit, black
leather jacket and red peep-toe heels that revealed a distinctive,
ice-blue shade of polish on her nails.
Flame-haired
Siobhan, 29, also stood out in a stylishly mismatched outfit comprised
of patterned jacket and floral print leggings stitched in red, black and
lilac hues.

It's all behind them now: MKS have vowed to
carry on despite their failure to break into the UK Top 40 with debut
single Flatline
The look was completed
by a pair of distinctive blue heels, while her make-up – reduced to
discreet, natural shades – kept the attention firmly fixed on her
clothes.
While her two
band-mates went for loud prints and playsuits, Mutya, 28, chose a
comparatively conventional pair of skinny jeans and dark blue pumps,
while a burgundy polka-dot shirt gave her look an added wash of colour.
The
three girls – founding members of girl-group Sugababes – reunited in
2011 to record a new album under the name Mutya Keisha Siobhan.

Having enlisted the
help of former All Saint Shaznay Lewis, Emeli Sande and talented
singer-songwriter Devonte Hynes, much was expected from the band – whose
last release together came in 2001.
Hynes
– who records under the pseudonym Blood Orange – had previously helped
reinvigorate the otherwise flagging career of Solange Knowles, who’s
critically acclaimed True EP he co-wrote and produced.
Despite
that success, MKS debut Flatline – which he had a hand in writing –
limped to number 50 on the UK chart following a week of disappointing
sales.
The band has
insisted they will persevere with plans to release an album in 2014,
with Keisha claiming they still have high expectations.
‘We
are taking this seriously. We’d love to break America and do a world
tour,’ she told The Daily Star. ‘It’s a new day. We want to concentrate
on the future and reclaim what we lost. We are very much back as a group
for good.’
