Two Shell team up with Sugababes for pulsing collab ‘Round’

Two Shell have teamed up with Sugababes for their pulsing rework entitled ‘Round’.

The enigmatic dance duo have collaborated with the UK girl group to remix their 2002 hit ‘Round Round’ into an icy future garage track.

It follows their single ‘gimmi it’, released earlier in May this year, and their FKA Twigs collaboration ‘Talk To Me’, which dropped in March.

‘Round’ originally appeared in the pair’s 2022 Hessle Audio mix, and has since gone on to become a fan favourite. Two Shell have since reworked the track seven times before its current incarnation, with Sugababes rerecording their vocals specially for the collaboration.

Check out the track below:

Sugababes – consisting of Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhán Donaghy – spoke to NME last year, revealing they “definitely have plans for new material”.

“We’re trying to focus all of our energy at the moment, we’re trying to balance the shows that we’re going to do this summer,” said Buchanan. “September 15 we’re at the O2, we’re here! We’ve got such a busy jam-packed year, but we’ve love to do new stuff.”

Sugababes played a one-off show at London’s O2 Arena in September last year. It was the largest show ever to be played by the original Sugababes trio.

They have previously opened up about how their career was “sabotaged” by intentional leaks and “illegal trademarking” of their group name. The group have previously released material under MKS (Mutya, Keisha, Siobhán), and managed to reclaim their original name in 2019.

“A few people from our past didn’t want [a reunion] to happen unless we were under their wing. And we would rather burn our bras and run down the street naked on fire [than do that],” Buchanan said.

“There was so much manipulation,” the singer recalled. “It would’ve been so easy for us to have thrown our hands up. But we invested our own money for the last 11 years and really, really fought for it. I’m so proud of us, that we stuck together. It was incredibly difficult — and we were getting to know each other again at the same time — but it was the making of us as a band.”
