Mutya Keisha Siobhan have taken to NME to confirm that the trio (often shortened to ‘MKS’) are still signed to Polydor records.

The three-piece band, originally of Sugababes fame, told the music publication in a bit to quash rumours of the band being dropped after ‘debut’ single Flatline stalled outside the Top 40 in the Official UK Singles Chart.

Speaking to NME, Keisha Buchanan said, “we’re still with Polydor. 100%…. For us we weren’t expecting the single to chart. On the first day it went to 16, then we did one TV show with Alan Carr and it went to Number 10… If we’d done more TV and there had been more promotion around us then we definitely would have had a bigger single. But it did what we wanted it to do. On our Soundcloud we had 100,000 views on one hour. We sold out at the Scala in 60 seconds. For us, I mean I’m not gonna say chart position isn’t important, but we are about the album.”

Flatline was the girl-group’s first official release since reuniting in 2012, and their new material has been strongly anticipated by both the industry and fans alike. During the group’s live debut in London in August (and again last month on their UK tour), new material was unveiled, whilst Siobhan Donaghy recently told various publications that the second release “…. will be something we’ve held back, that no-one’s heard yet.”
