[@FeggyMin]

IKR?! I still come to their songs almost every day!! I loved them sooo much, their voices, styling, music, concepts, personalities... they had it all... they could have gone soooo far and it always makes me sad. especially wish we had many more music videos, the whole REPLAY album was a masterpiece - ahead of its time

I wish I was born when the original 4 were together I was born p 4 when don't stop the music came out I can't believe the original 4 are all mother now rosie is my favorite I love her solo songs

[@JordanMcCoyFan94]

Yes, I agree! They were all so talented. I was obsessed with their music as a kid.

[@pablocalzadamahave8889]

Actually, she went solo in the years 2012-2014. She quit the music industry in 2014 after her album got shelved. You can check some of those songs in youtube: "Water against the rock", "Silent", "Breathe Out" are some of them. Most songs of the album leaked back in the day but only like 5 are available in youtube now.

[@xocherryblossom4104]

This is kind of random, but I like the soft goth, fairytale-like aesthetic of this music video.

Gosh Faye's voice is killer! They deserved to be bigger than they were. Would love to watch a documentary about these girls about what happened/why they broke up. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some shady management issues involved like most young girls deal with in the music industry

When closeted little preteen me first heard this song it resonated with me in ways I barely understood but I remember understanding I was different and that it wasn’t safe yet for me to be who I am. My home life was homophobic. I saw how the out and proud kids got treated. And submitted to a quiet existence But I just wanted to give in to the young man I was becoming like everyone else but for my safety I knew, I mustn’t chase the boys. I’m sure it not what the song intended but boy. This song made me feel so powerful and that I knew someday I could be me.

Same. Especially knowing how many sleazy industry execs there were back then. I like the song itself though. Genie in a Bottle by Christina Aguilera makes me feel the same way. It's a great song and I still listen to it, but it's super disturbing that she was singing that song and dancing around in midriff tops when she was only sixteen.
