Sugababe member Amelle Berrabah has unveiled her A64 acoustic session of track Love Is All We Need for online channel SBTV.

The singer, who is currently focusing on her solo career whilst the Sugababes take a ‘break’ (whether that’s a permanent or temporary thing is TBC), has received positive feedback from fans on the new track. Regarding a reformation with her two Suga cohorts, Berrabah recently told Digital Spy “We’re thinking of getting back together at the end of next year. I’m currently promoting this single now, then my own album. Hopefully after that we can rebuild and see what we’re going to do.”

Check out the A64 of Love Is All We Need below:

Music application Spotify have confirmed that they have received law orders from dance label Ministry of Sound regarding suspected copyright infringement.

According to The Guardian Ministry of Sound are seeking an injunction to remove users’ playlists whereby they have seemingly created mirrored replicas of MoS compilations.

The ability to create, amend and share playlists is arguably one of the strongest draws to Spotify’s service, with over 1bn playlists having been created since the brand’s launch in mid-2008. Whilst Spotify have the rights to add the various tracks to their platform, MoS are suing based on the order that users place these tracks, whilst pushing for Spotify to automatically remove these playlists that replicate the MoS retail opportunity.
