Mutya Buena's International Women's Day Playlist

To celebrate International Women’s day, Mutya Buena takes us through her life in music, playing the songs she grew up with to the musicians that continue to inspire her career as a solo artist and in the Sugababes.


From Lisa Stansfield to the Spice Girls, Whitney Houston to Destiny’s child… Mutya’s got a story for them all. 


Hear about her fateful recording session with George Michael, the song she sang on the Michael Barrymore show and the female artist that just beat her debut single to No.1 in the UK charts.
