Siobhan in the studio

And tonight Siobhan Donaghy confirms that she has given up her job to return full-time to music. That must mean a good contract....

@DazAstir I've never worked in the city. I worked for Storm Model Agency as a booker. Extremely sad to leave. But music is a callin'

The Reunion - the facts

The papers are now reporting The Reunion as fact. I wish it were - and really hope it is true.

Todays Press Association report - 'Original Sugababes back together'

But what are the facts?
Song-writer Emeli Sande has given one interview to MTV saying she has written a song for Keisha, Siobhan and Mutya.
There was evidence that Mutya and Keisha were in a studio with Professor Green earlier this month. Both have since denied they were recording together - but they might have been.
Keisha is currently in California, continuing her protracted solo recording, so far as can be ascertained.

So what else could be happening?
They could be testing out a reunion, which may or may not have been successful.
They could be recording a single track together - maybe for Comic Relief.

The Mirror appeared to have spoken to somebody else, possibly Mutya, who talked about Siobhan leaving a City job.

It would be great to get more hard evidence. But most of the reports seem to be recycling the single Emeli interview.

Another new album

Meanwhile the Sugababes Tribute Band has set a date for their new album.

It is April 9th and you can find it on Amazon. It doesn't have a name or a track-listing - so probably not worth investing £8.99 yet.

Are we looking at a head to head between the original Sugababes and the new ones?

One Touch - again?

All credit to Popjustice for this brilliant scoop. Love the idea that Keisha, Siobhan and Mutya would call themselves One Touch. These three could only produce brilliant music together:

But why can't they write their own songs? Siobhan and Keisha between them are definitely capable of great songs.

And before we all get too excited Keisha has tweeted this today (Tuesday):

hun there's no new song with me and a group??? Not sure what you heard xxx

Meanwhile last night (Wednesday 25th) MTV claimed to have confirmed the story:

Is this getting exciting or what?
