艺人资料

原子少女猫(Atomic Kitten), 英国流行女子演唱组合。由Liz、Natasha、Kelly 和Jenny(已退)组成。1999年由OrchestralManoeuversintheDark的安迪•麦克拉斯基(AndyMcCluskey)组建。她们有很多都是经典之作,被歌迷所喜欢。凭借《Whole Again》《Eternal Flame》《If You Come To Me》《Nothing In The World》等歌曲几乎无一例外地都登上冠军位置,在杂志SmashHits年度票选中便进入最受欢迎排行榜的第12位。她们的演唱风格是在强力的旋律加上街头风格的HipHop节奏,完美地将等身大的3人魅力。被誉为当今英国最红的女子组合。

早年经历

经历了接招(TakeThat)、辣妹(SpiceGirls)和男孩地带(Boyzone)等乐队的崛起和殒落后,英国乐坛马不停蹄地开始发掘新的流行偶像。A1、西城男孩(Westlife)、Hear'Say和舞曲流行三人组原子小猫纷纷加入排行榜和媒体之争。乐迷之所以喜欢原子小猫,主要是她们的经历与辣妹组合肥皂剧式的故事颇有相似之处。

1999年,原子小猫由OrchestralManoeuversintheDark的安迪•麦克拉斯基(AndyMcCluskey)组建,来自利物浦的娜塔莎•汉密尔顿(NatashaHamilton)、凯丽•柯塔娜(KerryKatona)和莉兹•麦克拉伦(LizMcLarnon)为实现自己的流行明星梦走到了一起,当年夏天她们与InnocentRecords公司签下合约时,还都是十几岁的青春少女。

原子小猫的《RightNow》和《SeeYa》一经发行立刻打入欧洲Top10排行榜,2001年冬,《WholeAgain》成功夺冠。她们在MTV上独领一时风骚,但是这样的成功并非一帆风顺。早在2000年9月,凯丽公开宣称自己与西城男孩成员布莱恩•麦克范登(BryanMcFaden)拍拖已有一年,而且珠胎暗结,不久两人正式订婚。柯塔娜不喜欢四处奔波,因此离开了组合,Precious的詹妮•弗洛斯特(JennyFrost)填补了她的空缺,此后《RightNow》为原子小猫赢得的赞誉让凯丽对自己的愚蠢之举后悔不迭。PS 13年正式回归组合取代Jenny Frost,

2001年的《TheTideIsHigh》让原子小猫的人气更加旺盛,十多首冠军单曲的成绩直逼TheSupremes和辣妹组合。2002年专辑《FeelsSoGood》中的《BeWithYou》和《TheLastGoodbye》两首单曲的成功,让原子小猫签下了维京公司。当舞曲《LoveDoesn'tHavetoHurt》在英国排行榜上如火如荼时,原子小猫又忙着录制同名的首张美国专辑,这张大碟发行于2003年4月。

演艺经历

原子少女猫(简称AK)是在出产世界超级巨星 披头士的利物浦,所组成的三人少女组。成员有Natasha、Kelly、Liz等三人。Kelly有着金色头发,Liz则有着一头短发, 三人都是相当有个性的女孩。

原子少女猫在正式出道前就跟随师姐Spice Girls相同的脚步,在日本积极的展开宣传活动。 让所有扶桑客对她们产生了兴趣。随后即回到英国发行首支单曲“Right Now”,初登场即跃进排行前十的位置。亲和、平易近人活泼俏皮且非常迷人可爱的E世代风格,更是在英国众多的知名杂志中被堂堂广泛地介绍出来。

原子少女猫起初由三个活泼可爱的小女生:Natasha(娜塔夏)、Liz(丽丝)、Kerry(凯莉)组成,因为Kerry怀了Westlife(西城男孩)团员Bryan的宝宝,被迫暂时退出团体,由新进团员Jenny替换重新组合的原子少女猫2001年再接再厉推出新专辑《Right Now 2001》。

所以说Kerry离开了,并没有自立门户,她好像和Bryan离婚了,有两个女儿。Jenny替代了Kelly。

《If You Come to Me 》是和新成员唱的。

在还未发专辑的情况下就获得了英国《Smash Hits》杂志最受欢迎艺人第12名,而以80年代的迪斯科舞曲伴奏间杂电音效果的首支《Right Now》更突显她们对音乐和潮流的敏锐感。

《Right Now 2001》除了收录2000年发行的《Atomic Kitten》中的9首单曲外,还加收《Follow Me》等5首全新作品,一发行即夺下英国专辑榜第一名。经过多场表演的磨练、歌唱技巧更趋成熟、她们成功地翻唱了Bangles(手镯合唱团)的畅销名作《Eternal Flame》,并连续两周夺下英国单曲金榜冠军,也终于稳坐头号接班女子团体的头名!

继2000年年底推出新专集《Ladies Night》不到两个月时间,来自英国利物浦的美少女乐队组合“原子猫”传来分手的消息。“原子猫”方面的公开说法是,她们将“休整12个月”,让娜塔莎能多点儿时间陪伴儿子乔什。

自走红起,“原子猫”三人组合珍妮•弗罗斯特、利兹•麦克拉侬和娜塔莎•汉密尔顿,不断传出内讧谣言。

2006年12月,乐队重聚。并在2006年12月31日在香港演出。三人重聚后依旧有各自的发展。Hamilton在2010年7月生子,Frost出演了电视剧《Snog Marry Avoid?》,McClarnon出演Hotter Than My Daughter。

在2012年3月,Hamilton透露组织将重聚开启夏季巡演。

2013年2月17日,Atomic Kitten 参与节目The Alan Titchmarsh Show ,Katona透露成员已经签约发行个人专辑。

在2015年11月,乐队发行了合辑《Whole Again - The Best of Atomic Kitten》。

Atomic Kitten are an English pop girl group formed in Liverpool in 1998 whose current members are Liz McClarnon, Natasha Hamilton, and Kerry Katona. The band was founded by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) frontman Andy McCluskey, who served as a principal songwriter during their early years. Sugababes singer Heidi Range was included in the original line-up but was replaced by Hamilton. The group's debut album Right Now was released in October 2000 and peaked at number 39 in the UK. After four top ten singles, Katona quit the group and was replaced by former Precious singer Jenny Frost. "Whole Again" (recorded before Katona left), their next single, became their most successful single when it topped the UK singles chart and became the 13th best-selling single of the 2000s. The group re-released their debut album, with some tracks re-recorded with Frost's vocals. The album hit number one in the UK with the album going double platinum after selling over 600,000 copies in the UK.

Between 2002 and 2004, the group released a further two studio albums, Feels So Good (which also went double platinum in the UK) and Ladies Night, and a greatest hits album before announcing a break following their 2004 tour.To date the group have had three UK number-one singles: "Whole Again", the fourth-best-selling song of all time by a girl group; "Eternal Flame", a song originally recorded by The Bangles; and "The Tide Is High (Get the Feeling)", a song originally recorded by The Paragons and by Blondie.The group split up in 2004 after selling over 10 million records worldwide.

After making sporadic appearances in 2006 and 2008, it was announced that McClarnon, Hamilton, and Katona would reunite for the ITV2 series The Big Reunion, along with five other pop groups of their time—B*Witched, Five, Liberty X, Honeyz and 911. Frost was unable to take part in the comeback because of her pregnancy, but Hamilton has since confirmed that Frost would be welcomed back if she wanted to rejoin the group in the future.

The group reunited in December 2006 for The Nokia New Year's Eve Music Festival, performing in Hong Kong on 31 December 2006. They once again reunited to perform at The Number One Project at the Liverpool Echo Arena on 19 January 2008, which celebrated Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture and the fact that Liverpudlian artists have had a collective 56 UK number one singles. Also to mark the event, the same month the group released a cover of "Anyone Who Had a Heart", which peaked at number 78 on the UK Singles Chart.

Although a reunion was due to surface after reuniting in 2008, it never materialised and the girls continued with solo projects: Hamilton gave birth to her third son Alfie in June 2010, Frost presented the first four series of Snog Marry Avoid?, and McClarnon presented Hotter Than My Daughter and also appeared at the Liverpool Empire in December 2012 alongside Coleen Nolan in Cinderella.

In March 2012, Hamilton confirmed that the group were reuniting for a summer tour, and that they would love to perform at the Diamond Jubilee Concert. She also stated that the group were in talks to star in their own reality television show regarding the comeback, following on the success of the 2011 Steps reunion and reality show.On 20 November, the girls were spotted leaving a recording studio together. The Daily Mail reported that they were seen filming their reformation for The Big Reunion.

On 17 February 2013, Atomic Kitten made an appearance on The Alan Titchmarsh Show and Katona announced that the group have signed a deal to release their own perfume fragrance.

The group revealed on ITV's Lorraine that they plan to put on their own headlining tour in 2015 as a thank you to the fans. In November 2014, Katona revealed the group would release a new album in 2015, which would go back to their original "cheesy pop sound" and tour it "around the world". The group's planned '15: The Greatest Hits' tour was cancelled in mid-May 2015 with no announcement as to why. In November 2015, the group released a compilation album entitled Whole Again - The Best of Atomic Kitten.
