The Sugababes have embarked on a ‘new chapter’ amid the release of their new track Jungle – their first single in two years. 

The trio – formed of Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Siobhán Donaghy – previously released When The Rain comes back in 2023 on major record label BMG.

However, they’ve since parted ways with the label and have gone independent, with their latest track marking their huge return.  

Sharing their elation at the new song, they said in a statement: ‘We are so excited to release ‘Jungle’ and cement this new chapter for us, after what has been an incredible 3 years on the road. 

‘As soon as it was written, it felt like the perfect thing for people to hear first. A song about escaping the 9-5 grind, we hope everyone can let their inner animal out when they hear this!’

The single – produced by Jon Shave (the man behind Charli XCX’s Grammy winning BRAT album) –  mixes the girls’ unmistakable harmonies with a blend of 2 step, garage and alt-pop.

Meanwhile, the Sugababes have been writing new material with none other that Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall, now simply known as JADE. 

In a new interview, the Round Round hitmakers revealed that they’ve so far recorded a verse and a chorus on the track for the singer, but the project has yet to be completed.  

Speaking to NME about about presenting JADE with her BRIT Award for Best Pop Act recently, Keisha shared: ‘It was lovely, and we actually had a writing session with her a couple of weeks ago, which was cool.

Siobhán the asked her bandmate whether they had heard the track back yet, to which Keisha replied: ‘Yeah, I heard it back the other day. I mean, it wasn’t completely finished. We just did a verse and chorus, but it’s definitely got something.’

On writing with JADE, Siobhán added: ‘The whole thing was very relaxed: a no pressure situation. You [Keisha] were putting on your makeup to go out and JADE was putting on her makeup to go out, and we were all just writing. It felt exciting.’

Meanwhile, the girls have set their sights on taking to the coveted Pyramid stage at Glastonbury, noting how it is ‘definitely on out wish list’.

However, Keisha notes that she’d like the girls to have some new hits under their belts first so that they don’t appear to just be another nostalgic act.  

She added that she wants their set to feel ‘fresh and new’ and for them to be ‘relevant’, adding that the girls hate the word ‘reunion’ as it’s not ‘where they’re at’.

Meanwhile, the band are hitting the road for a their biggest ever UK and European tour next month, kicking off on April 8 in Leeds and wrapping in Milan in May. 

Keisha, Mutya and Siobhan formed the iconic girl band in 1998.

However, the lineup saw several shake-ups after Siobhan left in 2001, replaced by Heidi Range – with Mutya and Keisha eventually being replaced in the mid-2000s by Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen, respectively.

The trio won back the rights to their name in 2019 and have since gone on to huge success with a plethora of sold out shows in both in the UK and internationally.
