It’s official: the UK garage girl band Mis-Teeq are officially making a comeback after 20 years.
The group split two decades ago, but are reuniting to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their iconic album Lickin’ On Both Sides.
They will reunite for a one-off show at Wembley in September, and plan to release previously unheard remixes.
Featuring Sabrina Washington, Alesha Dixon, and Su-Elise Nash – the trio were early fusers of rap, R&B, hip-hop and UK garage.
Speaking about the band’s reunion, Britain’s Got Talent judge Alesha said: ‘It feels like it is just slotting back into place, guys. It’s just like it used to be – me saying too much and them two looking at me like, ‘Oh, here she goes!’
Chatting exclusively to Vogue, Sabrina added: ‘We were messaging each other last night saying how excited we were even just to come to the shoot today. Since the group ended, we haven’t done anything public together.’
Alesha revealed they have ‘been offered reunion stuff over the years, but it’s never felt right.’
However: ‘This time, everything just lined up.’
She spoke about their early days as musicians: ‘We were very fortunate that we came about at a time where there was this amazing wave in the UK of a fresh new sound.
‘Along with the likes of Ms Dynamite and Craig David and So Solid [Crew], the UK was doing something that people could really be proud of that felt like their own. We were very conscious of having a British sound.’
The women are planning rehearsals in August for their reunion show.
This is a breaking story, more to follow.
