Based in Italy at the time, Carlson collaborated with Italian producer Larry Pignagnoli, and "Saturday Night" entered the top five in Italy.[1][8] The single "Another Day" also peaked at number three in Italy.[9] Additionally, the single "Sexy Eyes" charted in various markets, along with "Another Day" and "Think of You", both of which entered the top ten in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, and her native Denmark.[10][11][12][13] A cover version of Last Christmas, coupled with an original composition Big Time, was the outfit's final UK Top 40 hit in December 1995.[10]
Carlson competed in the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2018 with the song "Boys on Girls" but did not qualify for the superfinal.[14]
Early life
Carlson was born in Skælskør, Denmark. As a child, she spent several years in Africa before returning to her native country. Prior to her singing career, Carlson worked as a model and studied music.[1] She performed in a duo[7] before meeting producer Larry Pignagnoli, at which point she adopted the name "Whigfield".[1][15]
