Electrik Red

Once again I feel like it's my duty to inform the public about artist that are talented and overlooked. This time I want to inform you guys about Electrik Red, signed to Radiokilla/Def Jam.

I first found out about Electrik Red in early 2009 when their first single "So Good" was released. They were introduced to the world as Electrik Red, a group signed to the Dream's record label Radiokilla. The group is made up of four women, Binkie, Lesley, Naomi and Sarah. Binkie and Lesley are childhood friends from New York City, and Naomi and Sarah are childhood friends from Toronto,Canada. If you watch a lot of music videos or go to several concerts these young ladies may be familiar to you. They've been on tour as background dancers for artist such as Usher and Mariah Carey. They have also been featured in music videos as models and dancers. Lesley was in Chris Brown's 2006 video for his single "Say Goodbye", and I remember seeing Naomi and Sarah in the Dreams video for "Shawty is a  Ten". They were all in Ciara's video for "Like a Boy". On May 26,2009 they relaesed their debut album How to be a Lady Volume 1. One thing that I like about this group is each member has a very different, but outgoing personality. They make their job fun and that shows in their music. I wish they would have gotten more recognition the first time. However they are currently working on their second album How to be a Lady Voulume 2, therefore I hope things go way better for them the second time around.
