Keisha Buchanan covered hits by Adele and Beyoncé at her first solo gig since leaving the Sugababes.

The singer, who was ousted from the group in 2009, performed acoustic renditions of Adele's 'Rolling in the Deep' and Beyoncé's 'Run The World (Girls)' at the launch of London's Jacques Townhouse last night.

Buchanan, who was recently named as the face of Jacques cider, also performed three tracks from her forthcoming album; 'Beautiful Mess', 'Carried Away' and 'Fearless', the latter of which surfaced online last year.

Buchanan told Digital Spy: "I was shaking, I was trying not to look at my mum who was standing in the front row!"

Describing her first solo record, which is "three-quarters finished", she said: "It's got a lot of bass. Some of the songs are quite live-sounding, but there are songs like 'Beautiful Mess' which are a lot more bassy on the record.

"I think I've managed to cover a lot of subjects on there so far - loneliness, being independent, relationships. 'Future Cut' produced 'Carried Away', but I want to keep the other producers on there a secret for now - I think people will be very surprised!"

The 26-year-old also performed Sugababes hits 'Push the Button' and 'Overload', admitting: "I can't ignore my past."

It was recently reported that Buchanan had 'made peace' with her former Sugababes bandmates Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah.
