‘Breathe’ wasn’t released in the UK when Michelle Branch’s second album was abandoned after one single. But it did, at least, become a modest hit in America.
Michelle Branch – Everywhere
Michelle Branch’s debut single proved true to its name in the early ‘00s because – in America, at least – her music was ‘Everywhere’.
Cleopatra – A Touch Of Love
International success came at a cost for Cleopatra as they attempted to resume their debut album campaign in the UK.
Madonna – Hollywood
‘Hollywood’ was quickly released to try and rescue the ‘American Life’ album. Instead, it led to one of the most iconic moments of the ’00s.
Cleopatra – I Want You Back
If you don’t over-think it, Cleopatra’s version of ‘I Want You Back’ is a worthy – and very ’90s – take on a Motown classic.
Cleopatra – Cleopatra’s Theme
‘Cleopatra’s Theme’ was expertly realised in marketing the group as stars. All they had to do was wait for the rest of the world to catch up.
