Thank you for this summary! It's cleared a lot of things up for me!
I should've purchased the Flatline video while it was up, though...

I know what I face, the silence is deafening, I know crying through pain won't make it right *sad face*
I had a conversation with Siobhan a few weeks ago, which I didn't post about as it felt a bit weird writing about a private chat. There wasn't a lot of things that we didn't already know (as it was mostly just a lovely convo with a super talented laid back, kind, warm lady -like a big sis). But thinking back I think it's ok to mention a bit if its any reassurance to us all now.
It sucked (my word not hers) that it wasn't possible to be in the studio at this time, they were planning to do some live shows end of summer/ autumn but of course that was unlikely now; it wasn't ideal that she missed out on the interviews/Facebook stuff earlier in the year but she was sick so there was really nothing that could be done about that. A really lovely thing to hear was that she hopes they can still release at least some of the leaked album tracks as they were some of her best work. ...I confessed that I had some of them and listen to them all the time cause they are amazing but also that it was really just fans that had heard them and we would be thrilled to pay for them officially if they get released.
What I'm getting at is she was raring to get on with it and nothing was ultimately going to stop her from working. So despite this Covid setback and this trademark uncertainty I really believe that they will fight on and carry on when they are physically able to get back outside together. That was enough for me to carry on with my life (in isolation) and be happy that they will bless this underserving world with their godly music. ...soon

Thank you so much! I'm so jelly she actually spoke to you I always get ignored haha! I never had any doubt that she wasn't well although did suspect Baby No 2 tbh! Summer and Autumn shows would have been perfect but I wonder when they were going to make some actual announcements?
Any leaked tracks getting an official release is a huge blessing! That would be fantastic. As a fan I'm always here but sometimes everything being top secret is annoying. I get the whole leaked songs thing but to have some announced plans and dates officially by now would have been amazing. Even if reschedule due to current situation. Here's hoping for a fantastic year next year for Sugababes!
I also get ignored all the time not just by Siobhan though.. I miss the old days of MySpace and the conversations I had.
Regarding the current situation, I have no problem to see and hear them next year, a fresh new start even though it means the wait we‘ll be longer it won‘t harm anyone nor destroy anything it will give them more space and they can perfectly prepare themselves for what‘s ahead in 2021.

I can't believe it's been what, three and half years since the first round of leaks? There's a timeless quality to these tracks that makes them still sound fresh as fuck today. Even the ones where the production is bare-bones or rough-sounding, the melodies, vocal talent, and songwriting shine through.
I’d prefer 100% fresh material. But I’d opt for a light up; open book; Today; beat is gone; and summer of 99 finished track.
It is also my favourite one. By far.
I said it bevor and I´ll say it again: Beat is Gone, I Lay Down, Back In The Day, No Regrets, I'm Alright, Love Me Hard, Only You and Metal Heart NEED to be part of their official discographie.
The material would still be 100% fresh if someone wouldn't had leaked the demos and if we wouldn't have decided it to listen to them. It would be a shame if all of these tracks would go to waste just because a handful of gays have heard them...
Summer of 99, Metal Heart, Im Alright, Today, No Regrets. I think these are the ones i need the most.
RIP poor Love In Stereo

I would be happy for these on an EP, or as a bonus on their next greatest hits/ or deluxe album.
The songs leaked, and there isn’t much we can do. In a way it worked in their favor because it got a lot of people talking, people held on longer, and they were able to show that they still have the magic touch (arguably the line up that have the vocal and writing “it factor”).

Today, I'm Alright, No Regrets, Summer of 99 and Open Book as deluxe edition tracks on an eventual album would be most welcome. But I don't know if I'd necessarily want them to be key songs on the album after so long. Then again, I do trust their artistic judgements. So eh, whatever.
