Emeli Sandé has praised the original line-up of the Sugababes, claiming that the material they are currently working on "sounds great".

Sandé has previously let slip that she had been writing a track with a reunited Sugababes, despite there being little official confirmation that the group were getting back together.

The Sun reports that Sandé has offered an update on their progress, stating that the music is so good people will have to take notice. She said:

"What we've done so far sounds great. They're going to make people stand up and notice."

The talented Sandé recently opened up on the art of songwriting - picking Stevie Wonder and Annie Lennox as the two people she would love to write for most.
