Molly Aint No Dolly!

Watch out folks, the mighty Molly McQueen is back on the scene!

After re-discovering Molly McQueen the Total Biz World office has been blaring out the 2006 single 'No Sleep 2Nite'. Best known as being on the soundtrack on the smash movie starring Uma Thurman, 'My Super Ex-Girlfriend'.

So where has McQueen come from? Back in 2005 it was the year Girl Bands were popping up everywhere with a new 'rocky image' that failed to set the charts alight. Molly was the lead singer in rocky girl band 'The Faders' they fought off strong competition from 'Twenty First Century Girls' that year and 'The Faders' went on to release two successful singles. One being 'No Sleep Tonight' and the other 'Jump'.

Today, 24 year old London girl Molly McQueen is making her debut solo album after a rocky ride to her music career. Having left her girl band days firmly behind her, Molly has been hard at work making a living as a Singer / Song writer.

When McQueen signed to Sony back in 2007 it was her talent for writing songs that became her niche. Her talent also forced her rose coloured glasses to become clear, learning how harsh the music industry can be.

The early years....

As she was no stranger to failure after being dropped with 'The Faders' and later being released from a year long solo deal with Innocent Records we are sure this made for some excellent angst when writing her own material!

After a successful writing session for her own debut album a song she had co-written was recorded by another artist. This song was 'Perfect Circle' recorded by Katie Melua for her 2007 album 'Pictures'.

During 2007 Molly finished writing, recording and producing her first two songs. She later used the power of the internet and the mighty Myspace to upload her songs ready for her fans to hear. These were 'Psycho Gorgeous' and 'You Are Not The One'.

'Pyscho Gorgeous' was a huge hit with Myspace users and was later given the remix treatment from 'Future Freaks' and Molly McQueen became a Dancing Queen. The dance track was massive in the UK and Europe and reached number 10 in the dance charts.

Twilight fans may know the song 'Kiss By The Book' used in the new Breaking Dawn film, this features Molly in a duet with Sandy Nuttgens.

Molly still uses Myspace and uploads new songs to her site along with pictures and blogs. She now also has a Twitter account. Be sure to follow her if not only for her banter between herself and her mother.

Our favourite song in the TBW office is the addictive DIY. Check this out on Myspace!

Success comes with hard work and McQueen has been writing and recording with Sony. After waiting in the wings for so long she is ready to be unleashed!

Little Mix Of Chart Success!

Little Mix are the first group to win the X Factor, and they are the most exciting winner since Alexandra Burke won in 2008!

Bursting with massive potential Little Mix are set to be the next big Girl Band the UK has been waiting for since Girls Aloud. Bringing a whole new attitude and a sweet swagger to the charts, there is absolutely no doubt that with the right song choices and image these girls are going to a success.

I was disappointed at first with the choice of song for their first release, but Cannonball showcases all their voices allowing us to get know them as individuals. Its the glimmer of magic from their performance of En Vogue's classic 'Don't Let Go' that seals Little Mix as pure gold!

So its no surprise to me they chose this song to perform at last nights National Television Awards. It was their first live telly performance since winning the X Factor. They were on form vocally, as they have been busy preparing for the upcoming X Factor tour next month.

Although Little Mix still have not met the mighty record boss Simon Cowell, they are planning a late spring album release. Hot on their heels they are wasting no time to start work on their eagerly anticipated debut.

There are rumours that there will be duets with Jessie J and also with their mentor Tulisa. If the rumours are true this will be sure to set them apart from previous winners.

It is unlikely they will be as huge as the Spice Girls, but surely if these girls work hard they should develop their own path to chart success.
