Kelly O* – Follow Your Heart

The Ipswich native best known as Cappella's ex main woman released this, her first (and to date only) solo single in 1995 after leaving the group. It could have been a good way to get out on the stage solo - but ultimately suffered because it was clearly created with the mindset that it would become a huge worldwide hit because it was Kelly and everyone recognises her as the girl from cappella. The sad thing is that the track itself isnt even bad or anything - the Northern Light mix is quite serene. The issue is that it didnt have much appeal for commercial audiences as it was too "trancey" for their appeal which is why it didnt achieve as high as it couldve. As unfortunate as it is that this was Kellys only solo release, its hardly surprising.

Yeah believe it or not the singer from Cappella released a solo single.

Now I could be harsh and say how the phrase "singer from Cappella" is a stretch of the truth, given how many tracks were merely vocal samples of old disco / house tracks, but I'll let it slide (not so easily) to the back of the line.

Fact is, this is a quite decent Eurodance tune. Musically it's strong, if not a bit cheesy. Kelly's vocals are decent, though her hooks appear to be taken from older Cappella tracks (Don't Be Proud etc).

The girl may have been better off demanding more control of Cappella instead of agreeing to mime for so long.
