History
Group Members: Cleopatra /  / 
This teenage girl group are really going place - with three top ten singles in one year, and a very popular album, they even got to sing for the Pope - backed by a 100-piece orchestra, and got a personal letter from one Michael Jackson to congratulate them on thier fantastic Jackson 5 cover - I Want You Back.  Their singles are always backed by top class remixes, and their songs are full of energy, full of fun.

Cleopatra's Theme

Following the phenomenal success of The Spice Girls & All Saints, are Cleopatra. These three Mancunian teenagers (aged 13, 15, 17) have the ability to sing well, unacompanied, as do All Saints. The Spice Girls, however, do not have that ability. This is really just a plain pop single, but I guess it's fun - if you like that kinda thing.

Cleopatra, now signed to Madonna's Maverick label for American distribution, release the second single from the forthcoming debut album (Album snippets are featured on one of the singles). The single is nice, and has a video which follows on from the original 'Cleopatra's Theme' promo - featuring the girls' mum and little sister.
I Want You Back

Cleopatra have had two huge top five singles, but aren't listened to by anyone other then small children - or that's what most of the music press wants you to believe, but it's simply not true. Both 'Life Ain't Easy' and 'Cleopatra's Theme' had such good remixes that millions of people gave them a lot of respect - especially as they can sing very well, and have the ability to write their own material. This time round, however, they haven't written their own song - they've done a cover of the Jackson 5 classic - a group which they've often been compared to. The cover is, actually, very well done - and, to me, just as enjoyable to listen to as the original. Unfortunately, the Brooklyn Funk remix, which we now expect on Cleopatra singles, is not there, but there is a great R&B mix - good enough for the record company to invest in a full colour, full page advert on Page 2 of a popular British R'n'B magazine - not the place you'd expect a pre-teen pop band to advertise - Cleopatra are anything but.
