Released: September 2007
Stand by for the true sound of summer 2007. The Sheilas are here and
they're bringing pure pop back to the UK charts with their sensational
debut single, "(I'm So) Happy Happy (You're Mine)".
The Sheilas have teamed up with legendary producers SAW to record the
biggest and best pop record of the year by far. SAW are back to their
pop-gold best with a huge feel-good record that puts classic pop back
onto the UK music scene with a thunderous bang
. think Steps meets
The Supremes!
"(I'm So) Happy Happy (You're Mine)" is a magical slice of
out and out pop, featuring soaring vocals, classic lyrics, beautiful
harmonies and a chorus so contagious you just won't be able to get it
out of your head. If you love pop music, you'll love this song, and
its accompanying dance routine that everyone across Europe will be learning
this summer! People across the UK will already be familiar with The
Sheilas from their appearances on the hugely successful and now legendary
"Sheilas' Wheels" car insurance adverts. The group comprises
of Emma Robbins, Carly Romain and Cathi Ogden, three women now infamous
for driving a bubblegum-coloured car and dressing in sparkly pink dresses
with beehives to match.
In the last year The Sheilas have gone from TV adverts to performing
their own Motown-esque gigs all over the country, building up a massive
following at student and gay gigs in particular. The Shelia's Wheels
jingle has reached cult status with fans posting their own version of
the track in their droves on YouTube. "We
never expected in a million years this would happen,"
Cathi says. "We had no idea people
would react the way they did." All three ladies
have musical backgrounds - Carly went to drama school, Cathi sings and
writes pop songs and Emma was in a jazz band. Now this loveable trio
have set their sights on getting to the top of the charts with a little
help from the UK's most successful musical maestros SAW.
Stock Aitken Waterman reunited to promote their collection of greatest
hits, the successful album "SAW Gold". Now after much speculation
and column inches, the dream team are back, and their first project
is The Sheilas. SAW are without doubt one of the most successful pop
writers and producers of all time. A glance down their list of awards
gained tells its own story, with no other writers ever gaining the accolade
of "Songwriter Of The Year" three years in a row. To date
they have had over 200 Top 40 UK hits, including 13 UK No.1's and 3
USA No.1s.
As Emma says, The Sheilas couldn't be any more delighted about their
first musical partnership: "Working
with SAW is just a dream come true. We love pop music and you can't
get any better than working with the true kings of British pop."
Pete Waterman adds: "I know a Bonza
deal when I see one!"
So there you have it. The
Sheilas are here to save planet pop. You have been warned.
