Sugababes' Amelle Berrabah recording solo material

Sugababes star Amelle Berrabah is thought to have started recording a solo album.

The singer revealed that she is currently in the studio working on new solo material, while the Sugababes take time to pursue their own individual projects.

Berrabah confirmed plans to work on her own music yesterday, after she tweeted: "Right got everything I need and about 2 leave 4 studio! Can't wait 2 get these ideas out of my head and hear what they sound like! (sic)"

She later messaged producer Pete Kirtley: "See u soon! Can't wait 2 finish THE track!" 

Kirtley then responded: "yep this record is going to be a big hit in 2012! Ssshhhh!"

A few hours later after the pair had started work on the new song, Berrabah teased: "This track is ridiculous!!! In a good way!"

Kirtley's credits include a co-write on Hear'Say's debut hit 'Pure and Simple', as well as working on previous Sugababes album Taller in More Ways and Mutya Buena's solo LP Real Girl.

Fellow band member Heidi Range recently told Digital Spy that the Sugababes are not currently concentrating on music together and maintained that they haven't split.

Original Sugababes lineup not reuniting, says Mutya Buena

Mutya Buena has denied that she is working on new music with the original Sugababes lineup. Despite claims that Buena has reunited with Siobhan Donaghy and Keisha Buchanan, the singer has insisted she is focused on her solo career.

Rumours of an original Sugababes reunion were started by the website Popjustice, which reported on Friday that staff were going to "break down and cry" over the "stupidly amazing" news. According to its sources, Donaghy, Buchanan and Buena "met up last year" and agreed to work together. The re-formed trio would be managed by Felix Howard, who wrote Sugababes' hits Overload and Stronger, and were apparently in talks with producers Cameron McVey and Xenomania. "It's going quite well," Popjustice reported.

At the heart of this report were two tweets from 5 January: "Hanging out in the studio with @professorgreen and two lovely ladies with bags of talent :-p lol," wrote Buchanan. Buena's tweet was similar: "@ studio wit professor green in tha building and 2 beautiful ladies." In an almost too-neat coincidence, Donaghy made her Twitter debut the next day, 6 January. Although she has made no mention of Buchanan or Buena, her second post was a message to Felix Howard.

However, Buena is the only one to have addressed the reports directly. After a fan asked about her plans, Buena dismissed the reunion rumour. "No track [with] keisha or professor G he was around tha studio," she wrote to a fan (@Pablo_Bre) . "im jus workin on my stuff @ tha moment."

Buena's comments seem in line with a statement from Buchanan's spokesperson: "[Keisha] is in the final stages of completing her much awaited solo album and believes her fans will be equally excited with what's to come," they told Australia's Sky News.

If the original lineup did reunite, they would not be able to use the Sugababes name. Despite forming the girl-group in 1998, they left the trio one by one: Donaghy in 2001, Buena in 2005 and Buchanan in 2009. The group currently consists of Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen. While Buena is entitled to use the Sugababes brand on merchandise, the Range/Berrabah/Ewen iteration retains principal ownership of the name.
