She Moves - Breaking All The Rules (1997)

Ah, God bless the Spice Girls! Thanks to their surprise success, many girl groups popped out of the woodwork in an attempt to take over the charts. Unfortunately, most were nowhere near as successful. One example is She Moves. Comprised of former New York Knicks cheerleaders and dancers Carla Duren, Danielle Flora and Diana Bologna, She Moves was the brainchild of German producers the Berman Brothers, best known for their work with Amber and Real McCoy. They had looks, voices and moves the Spice Girls would have killed for. But they also lacked the unique character the Spice Girls cultivated. Of course, their music is nothing like the Spice Girls. The Berman Brothers were masters of eurohouse, and there are indeed eurohouse tracks on here. Even more interesting are the synth pop and drum n' bass elements on the album. This is certainly a bit more experimental than most pop albums of the time. The song "Breaking All The Rules" was a minor hit. They followed it up with the ballad "It's Your Love", which wasn't a hit but ended up being one in a remake by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill (I prefer She Moves' version, which I've actually sang in karaoke!). The final single "Just For Tonight" fell on deaf ears. But for lovers of girl pop, this album is a MUST!

**UPDATE: Thanks to a tip from Isle friend Liz, I have discovered that Carla released a solo album entitled BlackFolkRockStar, and the music is exactly as the title implies. Find it and buy it on CD Baby NOW! :)
