History
The group formed in 1997 in Orlando for the purposes of performing in a talent show. Three of the group's members had been in a previous vocal harmony group, but the five-member group lost two members, and a fourth was recruited, completing the group's later lineup.[4] Their performance in the competition gained attention from those affiliated with Backstreet Boys and NSYNC, and soon after, a record deal ensued.[4] Incorporating Latin elements into their dance-pop sound, the group toured America in 1998 and released their debut album, Different Kind of Love, via Sony the following year.[4] Different Kind of Love spawned a radio hit, "Wait Til I Get Home", which peaked at #33 on Billboard's Top 40 Mainstream chart in 1999.[5] It also peaked at number 42 in Australia.[6]
Different Kind of Love peaked at #163 on the Billboard 200.[7]
In 2023, with the help of a new manager, Stacy Larson, the four original members reunited and played four shows and released three new singles.
