Labelled Ireland's
Spice Girls, B*Witched's self-titled debut album mixes snatches of Irish jigs and the girls' mellow Celtic warbles with contemporary hip hop and funk influences. Their first hit "C'est La Vie" opens the album and sets the scene with its catchy chorus and jaunty melody. Their follow-up single, "Rollercoaster", is included, along with other fun and contagious tracks such as "Rev It Up" and "Freak Out". Disney soundtrack-style ballads such as "Castles In The Air" and "Oh Mr Postman" are also interspersed throughout. Guaranteed 100 per cent Irish charm with this album. --

CD Description
Sinead, Lindsay and twin sisters Edele and Keavy make up the bubbly Irish pop group B*Witched. Hailing from Dublin, thegirls exercise an irresistible brand of popcraft reminiscent of England's Spice Girls--these teens display youth, charm, soul and sweetness that can charm even the most resolute curmudgeon. Let's face it-they're just downright cute. The contagious single "C'est La Vie" offers an exuberance that's all about being joyful and young at heart. The girls' flirtatious warbles fly over funky guitar, slippery turntable scratches, cheerful keyboard chords and a thumping beat that culminate in a soaring fiddle jig, giving the music a modern buoyancy with a touch of traditional flavour. This is the kind of contagious fun that charts across oceans.
