Aqua Group - Salve Music

The group Aqua is one of the most prominent representatives of the so-called “bubblegum pop” variety of pop music. A characteristic feature of the musical genre is the repetition of meaningless or ambiguous words and sound combinations. The Scandinavian group consisted of four members, namely: Lene Nyström; Rene Dif; Søren Rasted; Klaus Norrén. Over the years of its existence, the group Aqua has released three full-length albums. The musicians have experienced periods of disintegration and reunification of the group. During the forced break, the members of the Aqua group implemented solo projects. Aqua (Aqua): Biography of the group History of the creation and composition of the group Aqua The group Aqua was popular back in the early 1990s. It all started when the duo of Søren Rasted and Klaus Norrén, who performed under the name Joyspeed, and their compatriot, DJ René Dif, were invited to write a song for the film "Naughty Frida and the Fearless Spies." https://www.youtube.com/watch?vZyhrYis509A Музыкантам настолько легко было работать вместе, что после записи трека они решили объединиться в трио. The fourth member, Lena Nyström, was found by the trio of musicians on a ferry traveling between her homeland and Denmark. Lena earned her living by performing humorous mini-sketches. The guys were attracted to the girl because of her model appearance. Rene Dif turned out to be the oldest member of the new group. Already at that time he began to noticeably lose hair from his head. And today he is bald. René performed the part of Kan on the track Aqua Barbie Girl and created the image of Barbie's friend in the video. Aqua (Aqua): Biography of the group Peers Rasted and Norren did not perform vocal parts in the group. They were responsible for composing the tracks and producing the group. In addition, Klaus played guitar and Søren played keyboards. Rastede had white hair and Norren had red hair. It was the original hairstyles that were considered the musicians' distinctive feature. It is known that Lena Nyström dated Dif for a long time. But in the early 2000s, she married Rastede. The family had two children: a daughter, India, and a son, Billy. After 16 years of marriage, the couple divorced. The divorce did not stop the celebrities from performing on stage together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vOG0AvwM_QAI Группа Aqua дважды распадалась (в 2001 и 2012 гг.) и «воскресала» (в 2008 и 2016 гг.). Klaus Norren is the only member who did not return to the team. Thus, the group transformed from a quartet into a trio. Music of the group Aqua In 1997, the band's discography was expanded with their debut album. The collection was named Aquarium. The highlights of the album include the songs Roses are Red, Barbie Girl and My Oh My. The album was received positively by music lovers and music critics. Aquarium has sold over 14 million copies. The track about the Barbie doll had a "double" meaning. The doll manufacturer even filed a lawsuit against the group. The court refused to consider the case, deeming the claim unworthy of attention. The ballad from the first collection, Turn Back Time, was included in the soundtrack of the British film, Sliding Doors. The debut album helped the musicians secure their status as “originals”. A bright entry into the world of pop music ensured the band's musicians their place in the sun. In the early 2000s, the band's discography was expanded with their second studio album, Aquarius. The tracks on this record were more musically diverse. So, the songs not only contain bubble gum pop, but also hints of Europop and country styles. The hit of the second album can be called the track Cartoon Heroes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vmaUPpTiU-mo Третий студийный альбом Megalomania музыканты презентовали в 2011 году.
