Original Sugababes line-up Mutya Keisha Siobhan have premiered a new track, sampling Kendrick Lamar's hip-hop anthem 'Swimming Pools (Drank)'. Listen below.

Recorded in London with Dev Hynes (the man responsible for turning Solange 'cool' on her True EP), the trio have recorded new lyrics over the US rap track, but at times covering Lamar's original on the laid back cover version, titled 'Lay Down In Swimming Pools'.

The track is the first studio recording from the trio, who reunited in late 2012. The founding members of Sugababes are no longer legally allowed to use the name, which is still used by a trio of entirely different singers.

The trio previously revealed a live recording of new song 'Boys' online and have revealed how they have been inspired by Rihanna while recording their comeback album.

"There’s a song called ‘Drum’ which we all love – it was one of the first songs we did. Actually, before we got signed to our label we’d finished half the album already. It was all about just going in and vibing off each other.," said Keisha in an interview with Popjustice in 2012.
