Conception and release [edit]

British creative person Dev Hynes (pictured) produced and co-wrote "Flatline".

In April 2012, it was reported that the original line-upwardly of the Sugababes had signed a £1 million record deal with Polydor Records.[1] In July 2012, it was officially confirmed that the group had reformed under the name Mutya Keisha Siobhan and were writing songs for a new album under Polydor.[2] The proper name was officially registered through the Eu on 27 June 2012.[iii]

"Flatline" was written by Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Siobhán Donaghy, alongside British musician Dev Hynes.[four] It was entirely adult and recorded in Los Angeles in February 2013, after composing about of the material for their debut equally Mutya Keisha Siobhan.[5] [6] The group specifically went to the urban center to tape a "killer" lead unmarried for their album. Travelling to Los Angeles resulted in the trio composing the song entirely in their get-go day in the city.[5] Hynes started randomly playing the keyboard and bass, and invited the trio to "vibe with him".[5] The group pursued a Coldplay-influenced audio for the song's chorus, however afterward realizing that their voices were not "manly enough",[7] Hynes contacted band Spector member Fred Macpherson to sing backing vocals for the runway.[viii]

On four June 2013, Mutya Keisha Siobhan appear the championship of the song.[9] They later uploaded a ane-minute, xi-second preview of the rails to their official SoundCloud page on xiii June.[x] The rail was originally scheduled for release in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland and Republic of ireland on ane September 2013, but was then delayed until 15 September for unknown reasons.[11] The release appointment was then inverse a second time, being brought frontward to 6 September.[12] The release of the actual song was preceded by Polydor sending an EP to digital retailers, including 4 remixes of the song.[13]

Composition [edit]

Having a length of iii minutes and fifty-one seconds (3:51),[14] "Flatline" is styled in the genres of popular and R&B, and was produced by Dev Hynes.[5] [xv] It is composed in the central of 1000 major, and contains a metronome of 128 beats per minute. Musically, it carries out a chord progression of D–Em–Bm–C, while the group members' vocal ranges get from the notes of G3 to E5.[four] Lyrically, the song addresses the deterioration of a relationship, which is more than visible on the song's chorus, where the trio sings "I can feel a flatline, that ought to exist a wave".[16] [17]

It commences with a "noodly" guitar riff,[17] set against a 90s-inspired piano-driven R&B melodies and "bubbling"[15] 80s pop beats, which is reminiscent of the product found in American recording artist Solange Knowles' extended play True—which, much like "Flatline", was produced entirely past Hynes. Siobhán Donaghy sings the offset verse of the rails, being followed by Keisha Buchanan, who gives her vocals during the pre-chorus, in which she references the playing cards King and Queen.[15] Later on the chorus, the second verse is sung past Mutya Buena, and the song eventually enters a crescendo, as the backing vocals get louder and the drums stronger.[15] This section of the song was described by Michael Cragg of The Guardian every bit being "Florence-esque", in which the group sings the chorus repeatedly along with several ad-libs.[17] A author from Fact wrote that the song "build[s] from Robyn-style melodrama into fist-pumping stadium fare".[18]

Response [edit]

Since its release, the vocal has received widespread critical acclamation. Eve Barlow from NME claimed that it was "worth the 12-year wait" and dismissed the current Sugababes line-upwardly.[nineteen] Robert Copsey of Digital Spy was extremely positive most the vocal, awarding it five stars out of v, and commented: "[It] isn't the sort of smack around the face yous'd normally expect just rather one that draws you in slowly but surely before swallowing yous whole."[20] Writing for The Guardian, Michael Cragg said there was "something indescribably captivating" about the song, and likened it to the group's debut single "Overload"—as the Sugababes.[21] Laura Snapes from Pitchfork Media was enthusiastic almost Hynes' production, classifying it as "immaculate", and highlighted the group'due south song harmonies.[22]

Billboard 'due south Jason Lipshutz called information technology an "immediately affecting" 2013 song and favoured the use of the word "miscellaneous" on its lyrics.[sixteen] Robbie Daw from the music website Idolator was in sync with the same comments, calling information technology a "synthy, handclappy, glorious pop gem that comes simply in time for the summer".[23] Carl Smith of Sugarscape.com deemed "Flatline" "a fleck amazing" and believed that the artists' harmonies could rival the group Little Mix, while noting that the song did non follow any electric current musical trend.[24] Bradley Stern from MuuMuse opined that the song had "revitalized the very essence" of the Sugababes, named it 1 of the all-time of 2013 and commented that it sounded like a newly recorded version of Ane Impact.[15] Much like previous critics, Michelle Kambasha of DIY highlighted the singers' harmonies and noted that Hynes had "inject[ed] his solid-gilded formula" to the song'due south production.[25]

Drowned in Sound'south writing staff picked "Flatline" included information technology in their list of 2013'south best songs on number sixteenth,[26] as did Edge on the Net, that put it on seventh place.[27]

The tour is what it's all about actually every bit our live operation is such an of import part of what nosotros are. In that respect, the single has done the job it was meant to do."

Only entering 2 European charts, "Flatline" reached number 14 on the Irish Singles Chart, even so it peaked at number l on the UK Singles Chart.[29] [30] The grouping denied allegations of it existence a "flop": "I don't call up our song got lost on the radio. I think there were certain things that happened backside the scenes that couldn't be helped. Our goal was to put a song out that people liked and we retrieve we've done that".[28] They too expressed preference in going on bout and releasing an album than having a "throw-away hit" on the charts."[28] To NME, Buchanan reiterated those sentiments and denied rumours floating at the time that speculated that the group had been dropped past Polydor.[31]

The trio revealed that they had seen her work on the Italian edition of Vogue and thought information technology was "amazing", therefore, they picked her to movie the visual. The group described the video treatment which Auleta wrote equally having "summed upwards how [they] felt almost the song",[39] and further revealed that they opted to film the video in Los Angeles as it was the urban center in which they wrote "Flatline" with Hynes.[39] The singers teased the music video with pictures of them at the set.[twoscore] The video was ultimately released on nineteen August 2013.[39]

The visual begins with a shot of the three singers walking downward a street in Venice Embankment, followed by them getting ice foam and being on top of a motorcycle. As the singers lip-sync their verses, the camera zooms in each singer. These are interspersed with clips of the trio standing in front end of a wall with several graffitis. Afterwards on, they are seen sitting on chairs on a beach, with "coquettish"[41] sunglasses; walking about the body of water. Equally the song builds to its last compass, they run to an orangish convertible, in which they bulldoze to a desert. They accomplish the desert and are joined by a marching band, who play the drums heard in the vocal. The group exits the auto and offset dancing to the sound of the drums. The very last scene of the music video sees Siobhan driving them away as they have their easily in the air, and the screen fades to black.[42]

For Popjustice, Michael Cragg said that the video did not "help the song", and negatively regarded that information technology resembled a behind-the-scenes video of a photoshoot.[43]
