Still hoping for a 2026 release but it looks less and less likely each month >_<

my gut feeling tells me they're gonna drop whatever they've prepared in November or December and call it a day sadly. aren't they independent? I'm thinking the lack of budget is causing the delays.

Last.fm user · lastfm

Yeah, they are :( I thought being independent would give them more freedom to drop whenever they wanted to and with all these festivals and gigs, Mutya doing cooking shows and Keisha doing The Masked Singer they would have enough to invest in the music, but those are my parasocial ruminations I gues
