Jay-Z 'wants to sign Keisha Buchanan'

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.
