Solid HarmoniE - Solid HarmoniE (1997)

Solid HarmoniE (aka SHE) were an even more obvious attempt at making another Spice Girls. They were Brits formed around the same time as the Spices and their music was pure pop. They were fortunate enough to be produced by many of the same people, including Max Martin and Kristian Lundin, responsible for the teen pop revolution and the success of acts like Robyn, Britney, 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys. The songs are good pop tunes, as would be expected. Despite the presence of these super producers, however, the girls didn't make much of an impact in North America. They had a few semi-hits in Britain and were hugely successful in the Netherlands, but North American audiences apparently only had room in their hearts for one British girl group. The girls did manage to record a follow up, but it was unfortunately shelved. Three of the members went on to pursue solo careers, while one, Mariama, briefly joined successful UK R&B girl group Honeyz. (Pay special attention to their reinterpretations of Hi-Five's "She's Playing Hard To Get" and trash pop lovers' fave Bardeux's "When We Kiss".)
