Filipina Artist: Mutya Buena - New Single

Our very own has released her album single Real Girl this year. The surly Filipina face of Sugarbabes, Mutya Buena, left the girl group, SUGABABES in order to care for her baby daughter Tahlia. The Irish-Filipino Mutya Buena (born Rosa Isabel Buena, May 21 1985), a founding member, is not the first gal to leave the ensemble -– back in 2002 another founding member Siobhan Donaghy left and was promptly replaced by the spritely Heidi Range.
Mutya posted an official statement on the Sugarbabes website:

“I’ve enjoyed an unbelievable career so far and I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved with Sugababes over the years. My decision to leave the band at this point is based purely on my personal reasons. It was very difficult but definitely not a snap decision. I signed up for being in Sugababes at the age of 13 and have spent my entire life devoted to making and performing music. I think there comes a time when everyone wants to re-evaluate their life and what they want out of it. For me that time has now come. For a long time I have been discussing with Heidi and Keisha our plans for the future and it got to the point where I honestly felt that the commitment I would need to make to Sugababes over the next 12 months was something that would become compromised by me. Clearly that wouldn’t have been fair to Heidi or Keisha or most of all to our fans. Certainly, my departure from the band would never mean the end of Sugababes."

The group, formed in 1998, had released 13 songs which made the top 40 charts around the world. Four songs reached the 31 spot in UK chart.
The group’s fourth album Taller in More Ways, which debuted at #31 in UK months ago, is the highest in their five-year carreer. Sugarbabes head off on a sold-out stadium tour supporting Take That with their new member in tow last 2006.

Well, Im not her fan...just proud that a true Filipino is making out in the international music industry. This is her new single REAL GIRL plus a bonus track with George Michael.
