Dream is the brainchild of 2620 Management. The Los Angeles based management firm held auditions in search of a Dream. The result was Ashley, Melissa and Holly. With a little more searching they found the missing link in their own back yard, Holly's best friend Diana. "The idea of having a pop group on Bad Boy Records is so oh my gosh," says Holly." People are gonna check just because." The girls maintain individual style and character that combined are the perfect ingredients for the next pop sensation. Ashley with her urban chic vibe and obvious confidence reigns from Blythe, California. Ashley found out about the Dream audition after calling a 1 800 new talent search number. To her dismay 10 other hopefuls performed her song of choice, Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On," but Ashley's edgy style and vocal ability prevailed, management knew she shared the Dream. Holly is the emotional rebel who can paint a picture with her voice. The North Hollywood native began acting at the tender age of eight and spent most of her youth performing in musical theater. When Holly reached the eighth grade, she knew that she wanted to concentrate solely on her singing career. Holly attended the Dream audition at the recommendation of her vocal coach and was signed shortly after. Diana possesses a soft-spoken strength and an angelic voice. The youngest of four girls, Diana is a native of the San Fernando Valley. She is the last member to join the Dream team even though she always knew she wanted to be a performer. Melissa is a warm blonde with great sense of humor and a bright positive outlook on life. A native of San Clemente, California, Melissa is the eldest of five girls. Melissa entered the Dream audition at the direction of her singing coach, and although she felt overwhelmed by the number of girls competing for the group, she was able to display her true talent and made out with flying colors. Dream's debut, It Was All A Dream, due for a January
2001 release, is Puff Daddy's version of "New Pop America". The album
is a mellifluous fusion of pop, hip-hop, dance and R&B. Dream worked with
eclectic producers including Guy Roach, Mario Winans, Todd Chapman and Sean
"Puffy" Combs to create an edgy, radio-friendly sound that heralds the
emergence of an exciting new phenomenon. The Southern California-bred cuties
command each song with their ethereal vocal styling and unapologetic attitudes.
The first single "He Loves U Not, " produced by Steve Kipner and ex
System member David Frank (who also produced Christina Aguilera's "Genie In
A Bottle") bangs with a bouncy, synth-heavy rhythm and oozes with sassy
lyrics: "You can pout your cherry lips/ Try to tempt him with a sweet kiss/
You can flirt your pretty eyes/ He ain't got his hands tied/ No matter what you
do/ He's never gonna be with you/ He's into what he's got/ He loves me/ He loves
you not." |
