Eve 6

The band subsequently announced its breakup, to occur after a final tour.
. Poor sales of It's All In Your Head (192,000 Units Moved) resulted in Eve 6's release from their record contract with RCA. They appeared onstage together at an exclusive block party in New York City that month, hosted by Dave Chappelle. Romance and angst are common themes. In September 2004, it was announced that The Fugees have settled their differences and are currently working on a new album. The group was perhaps best known for its lyrics, which feature vivid imagery and inventive wordplay: two of the group's hits, "Inside Out" (from their self-titled album) and "Promise" (from Horrorscope), are good examples of this style. Though the Fugees remain tight-lipped about the exact reasons, most fans believe that a serious personality conflict between Hill and Jean contributed to their breakup following The Score.

Eve 6's musical style was relatively limited, with the notable exception of their innovative final album, It's All in Your Head, which featured a wide range of songs. After each member found success in other ventures, the Fugees failed to reform. After seeing the episode "Eve", which featured genetically engineered characters known as "Eves," he got the name from the character called Eve #6 who made a remark about biting a guard's eyeball (http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~gjm5xx/transcrp/scrp110.htm), which Fagenson thought merited "Eve 6" as a band name. After 1997, the Fugees all began solo projects: Hill started work on her critically acclaimed The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Jean began producing for a number of artists (including Destiny's Child and Carlos Santana) and recorded his debut album The Carnival, and Michel, with Mya and Ol' Dirty Bastard, recorded the single "Ghetto Superstar" for the soundtrack to the Warren Beatty/Halle Berry film Bulworth. Tony Fagenson, who auditioned while attending the University of Southern California, was an X-Files fan. The Fugees won two 1997 Grammy Awards: The Score won for Best Rap Album, and "Killing Me Softly With His Song" won for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group. The band formed in 1995 in La Crescenta, California as Eleventeen; the name Eve 6 was only adopted later, after they already had a recording contract and were looking for a replacement drummer. The album also included a re-interpretation of The Delfonics' "Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide From Love)" in their hit single "Ready or Not".

Eve 6 was a punk band from Southern California, whose first album was released in 1998 and which disbanded in 2004. The Fugees were known for their unusual choice of covers and sampling sources on both albums; The Score, for example, included covers of "No Woman No Cry" (Bob Marley & the Wailers) and "Killing Me Softly (With His Song)" (Roberta Flack), which was their first and only #1 pop hit.
