MKShave exclusively chatted to MTV News about their decision to reform without using their old name Sugababes, with Mutya explaining: "That old name - it's so far gone now."

Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy officially confirmed their reunion last month but have already finished recording their album which is due out in early 2014.

When we asked the girls why they chose to re-name using just their own initials, Mutya responded: "To tell you the truth… the old name - it's so far gone now. We just want to start a fresh."

And Keisha went on to explain: "We wanted to start a fresh but a lot of it was to down to the fact that when we started recording we got signed to our label and that was based on us and our sound."

In other MKS news, the girls have pushed back the release of their forthcoming single Flatline. The track was originally due for release on September 1, but will now be available from September 15.

MKS tweeted: "You can pre-order our new single 'Flatline', released September 15th, right here on iTunes #MKSFlatline".
