Debut song by a 90s Western girls' band
The early recordings of a band are always so energetic and captivating, aren’t they? Especially when it comes to their debut single…
The technique and polish may feel a bit raw at times, but the intensity is on a whole different level.
As their career goes on, their musical style evolves, too.
That’s exactly the charm of it.
This time, I researched debut singles by ’90s Western girl bands.

Cleopatra churned out hit songs over the two years starting in 1998.
Despite repeated breakups and reunions, they have continued their activities for a long time.
Their debut single, “Cleopatra’s Theme,” was an immediate smash, reaching No.
3 on the UK charts, and it also became a modest hit in the United States, peaking at No.
26.
You Don’t Wanna MissFor Real
For Real is a four-member R&B group.
They were reportedly scouted by someone from A&M Records after performing an a cappella set at an airport, which that person happened to witness.
Including this debut single, they released about seven singles, but ultimately didn’t sell well and ceased activities in 1999.
Stroke You UpChanging Faces
Changing Faces is an R&B vocal duo.
Their debut single, “Stroke You Up,” released in 1994, reached No.
3 on the Billboard chart.
Their follow-up, “G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T.,” was also a top ten hit, but they disbanded in 2000.
They have since reunited and are currently active.
Hold OnEn Vogue
After forming in 1989, En Vogue has remained an enduring group, continuing their activities while undergoing lineup changes.
They have had many Top 10 hits, and “Don’t Let Go (Love)” in particular was a major hit around the world.
Their debut single “Hold On” also climbed to No.
2 on the Billboard charts.
Good LifeThe Braxtons
The Braxtons debuted with the unusual lineup of five sisters.
Perhaps due to their low-key activities, they went on hiatus, and their singles didn’t sell at all.
However, one member, Toni Braxton, later scored a string of major hits.
It became a rare case of a big star emerging from an unsuccessful group.
