Their U.S. chart debut was in 1995 with "Tonight Is the Night" (which featured La Bouche's Melanie Thornton on vocals and was included on the double platinum-selling U.S. edition of La Bouche's debut album Sweet Dreams). They had another hit in 1997 with the single "Call Me", which climbed to number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as number 4 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.[2] The track reached number 38 in the UK Singles Chart.[1] Its follow-up, "Don't Go" peaked at number 62 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 19 on the Billboard Dance Club Play Chart.[3] Their album, Tonight Is the Night peaked at number 49 on the Heatseekers chart.
The lead singer Shekoni was already an established artist in her native Sweden, and has since gone on to have a successful television career.

These are 3 tracks recording sessions from the "S.O.S." and "A Moment of Love" album of La Bouche that did not make the final cut.
