Former Sugababes star Keisha Buchanan is in talks to sign up with Jay-Z's Roc Nation label, a report has claimed.
The news comes following rumours that her ex-bandmates have been quietly dropped by the US record company, with whom they signed a deal in early 2009.
Buchanan has been busy working on a solo album in recent months after being ousted from Sugababes last September.
A source told The Mirror: "Jay is serious about getting her on board. They hit it off at the Brits after-party in London."
On Sugababes' current woes, the insider added: "Keisha will be gutted that things have not worked out so well for the band she helped create."
Sugababes' latest album Sweet 7 failed to crack the top ten following its release last week.
I agree tbf. They meddled with the Sugababes and horrifically altered their sound.Jark wrote:I bloody don't. She doesn't need US producers to make a decent album. I doubt Roc Nation are interested anyway but hopefully she'll just give us something decent and British-sounding.

Source: http://entertainment.stv.tv/tv/170418-k ... -strictly/Former Sugababes singer Keisha Buchanan is said to be considering an offer to appear on 'Strictly Come Dancing'. The former Sugababes singer - who is currently working on her debut solo LP - is said to be "seriously considering" an offer to appear on the BBC1 celebrity dance contest but is unsure whether she can fit it into her schedule.
A source said: "Keisha is recording solo material in Los Angeles and has deals on the table including music, a book, and 'Strictly'.
"It's simply a case of deciding what is the right next move."
However, insiders expect the 25-year-old singer - who was replaced in Sugababes by Jade Ewen last September amid accusations she had bullied bandmates Amelle Berrabah and Heidi Range - to sign up for the show after seeing how it transformed the career of Alesha Dixon, who is now one of the programme's judges after winning the competition in 2007.
Another source said: "Keisha was thrilled when asked to be part of the show. But she is a little apprehensive.
"In the Sugababes, it was all about the singing. They never really danced. So the training would be really hard for her.
"Her pal Alesha Dixon saw her solo career really take off after 'Strictly' and she's hoping that it could help her, too.
"She has so much on, it depends on whether she can fit it all in. But she is seriously keen. It's one of the only reality shows she would ever consider."
