Sugababes say working in America has energised them

The trio have been recording their seventh album in the US after signing with Jay-Z's Roc-a-Fella label and say they loved the chance to work with singers and producers including Ne-Yo, Stargate and RedOne.

Singer Keisha Buchanan said: "I think it's given us a fresh energy again. I think the one thing we wanted to do was come back with something different. With each album we've always worked with a new producer and come out with a single which is so standout from the rest of the album.

We'll keep going just as long as we're happy. I think the moment when we're not really enjoying it anymore we'll probably call it a day.

"I think with their energy coming in, it's definitely given us some life. It's definitely got the British feel throughout the album - we've not gone away and gone 'All American' on our fans."

Her bandmate Heidi Range added: "We had a fantastic time and worked with some of the biggest producers in the world at the moment. It was a really exciting process for us."

The group have experienced several line-up changes before arriving at current formation of Keisha, Heidi and Amelle Berrabah but despite the upheaval, Keisha - the only remaining founder member - insists they have no plans to call iti a day.

She added to BBC Newsbeat: "We'll keep going just as long as we're happy. I think the moment when we're not really enjoying it anymore we'll probably call it a day. "
