基本介紹
剛出道時，人們常把她們與The Corrs （可兒樂隊）相提并論。她們既有天分又有才華，且明亮照人，是當今樂壇上難得一間的實力偶像派組合。
They’ve chosen this name（Bellefire）to show others that they’re from Ireland and that they’re proud of it. The word Bellefire is derived from the word Balcanac, which means May in Irish. It also is a Celtic festival.
這名字很有愛爾蘭特色，直譯就是“愛爾蘭的五月”，同時也是一個凱爾特民族的節(jié)日名字。
她們組隊已有4年了，原本有四位成員。Ciara和Kelly在一個愛爾蘭的選星秀里一見如故，連同Cathy，第二天以三人合唱團的姿態(tài)出現(xiàn)在選拔賽中引起了比賽策劃人的注意。于是，2000年再加上另一女歌手Tara，這四人女子組和正式簽約維京唱片公司（Virgin），首發(fā)的兩首單曲都打入英國榜的前20位；她們翻唱U2樂隊的《All I Want Is You》在愛爾蘭也有近雙白金的銷量。2001年，他們還作為同鄉(xiāng)的愛爾蘭組合Westlife的演唱嘉賓跟隨他們進行巡回演出，反應(yīng)熱烈。2003年他們離開了維京唱片公司，Tara也決定投身到她真正向往的時裝界，BelleFire正式解散。

專輯介紹
與以前的專輯相比，專輯《Spin the Wheel》更突顯這三人在音樂造詣上經(jīng)多番磨練后所散發(fā)出的一股全新的成熟韻味。專輯里流淌著讓人久聽不厭的流行旋律，現(xiàn)代與古典的和諧結(jié)合�！禨pin the Wheel》一曲沒有用太多愛爾蘭傳統(tǒng)樂器，釋放出更多明亮歡快的流行音樂元素；三個年輕女歌手正走出The Corrs的陰影，成為具有其獨特音樂風(fēng)格的女子組合。Kelly概述這專輯的創(chuàng)作初衷——“如今的流行音樂舍本逐末。若某人用了某種音樂模式，則人人都效仿。但好的歌曲永不過時，我們就希望這張專輯有經(jīng)久不衰的音樂，有經(jīng)歷十年仍為我們所熱衷演唱的歌曲�！�
They first formed in 1999 (see 1999 in music), backstage at an audition for a boy-girl band in which Louis Walsh was a judge. According to the Irish Independent, Walsh was disappointed with the standard of male entrants and opted to sign a girl group instead. The intention was to aim towards a "a more mature niche in the pop market" than what was becoming the norm for vocal groups at the time.
After recording their debut album After the Rain, they released two singles, both of which were top twenty hits in the UK. The second of these "All I Want Is You" received a lot of airplay and got them an appearance on Top of the Pops. However, just as the album and another single were due for release, their record company Virgin unexpectedly dropped them and the album was never released, except in Japan, due to a new boss at Virgin who decided to do away with artists that were not money makers. A disillusioned Tara left to become a fashion student, while the other three girls continued without their top harmonist[citation needed] and developed a new repertoire. They were signed by WEA in 2003 and moved their base to London. They subsequently recorded a new album entitled Spin the Wheel.
Their first single as a trio was "Say Something Anyway", which peaked in the UK at #26, but spent only three weeks on the charts. The planned follow-up single for the summer of 2004, "You Were Meant for Me", was shelved. Bellefire spent the summer of 2004 promoting their upcoming single and album release around the UK at various festivals, but due to the album and single being continually pushed back, the summer promotion did little to boost their reputation and sales. After the failure of their next UK single, the title track "Spin the Wheel" in October 2004, Bellefire completed their tour of Southeast Asia and returned to Ireland. The UK release of the Spin the Wheel album and a third single was pushed back several times until it was eventually cancelled.
After the failed release of the "Spin the Wheel" single, Bellefire and Atlantic Records parted company. The group then went their separate ways. Very little is known about the current activities of the Bellefire girls, although numerous articles concerning the members pursuing various solo projects have surfaced. Ciara has recently been credited as a backing vocalist for Blue member Lee Ryan’s solo album, Cathy was a judge on the 2005 Irish television show Star Stream Final, Tara is currently working in the fashion industry with a potential return to music and Kelly is working with Little Tardis Studios on solo material with a release planned in 2007.
