ATC (band)

As of July 2004, they have produced a second album, Touch The Sky (2003). Since then, Sophie has taken time out from her musical career to take care of her first-born baby, Sonny with boyfriend Richard Jones. "Around the World" has received massive radio play world-wide, but the rest of the album was generally considered lacking by critics. Her debut album, Read My Lips appeared a year later and spawned four top 20 hit singles (including 3 top threes). Her second album was not as commercially successful, reaching number 19 in the official charts, yet it still contained two further top 10 singles. They broke into the mainstream with their electronica crossover hit single "Around the World (La La La)" (a cover of Ruki Vverkh's "Pesenka") off their debut album Planet Pop (February 6, 2001). Entitled Groovejet (If This Ain't Love), the single (a collaboration with Italian DJ Spiller) entered the charts at #1, just beating Spice Girl Victoria Beckham and therefore ensuring a media frenzy. ATC, meaning A Touch of Class, is a pop band based in Germany, although the four members each come from different countries—Joe from New Zealand, Sarah from Australia, Tracey from England, and Livio from Italy. After starting out with indie band theaudience, she released her first single without the band in 2000.
