Exposé (band)

Exposé is a Latin freestyle pop-dance trio of the 1980s. Record producer and songwriter Lewis Martineé formed an all-female vocal trio called Exposé in 1985; he hired Sandra Casanas ("Sandeé"), Aléjandra Lorenzo ("Alé"), and Laurie Miller to be in the group's lineup. That same year, they recorded "Point of No Return" which became a dance hit. The next year, they recorded and released another dance single entitled "Exposed to Love". This led to their signing with Arista Records. But shortly thereafter, Casanas was fired, and Lorenzo quit to pursue other ambitions; they were replaced by Jeanette Jurado and Gioia Bruno. Before the album's completion, Miller left the group due to personal and business problems and began a solo career; she was replaced by Ann Curless.

Toward the end of 1986, the group released their debut album Exposure (which still consisted of background vocals done by the original members). This album proved to be one of the most successful dance albums ever released, going multi-platinum. In 1987, a rerecorded version of "Point of No Return" was released; while the first few thousand copies of Exposure contained the original version of that song, the rest of the copies contained the new version. Their second album, What You Don't Know (1989), went gold and proved to be almost as much of a success as their debut.

In the middle of 1990, Bruno began having throat problems which soon turned out to be a benign tumor in her vocal cords. The group took a little bit of time off from their schedule in hopes that she would recover. But her health only worsened, and she was finally replaced by Kelly Moneymaker in 1992. That same year, the group released their self-explanatory third album, which leaned more to an adult-contemporary style. The album was not as commercially successful as their previous albums, and two singles from the album failed to make the US Top 40. Despite the disappointment, they managed to have two US Top 40 hits from the album: "I Wish the Phone Would Ring" and the #1 adult-contemporary smash "I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me". In 1995, they recorded the Diane Warren-penned song "I'll Say Good-Bye for the Two of Us" for the soundtrack of the film Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home; that same year, the song was issued on Greatest Hits.

At the beginning of 1996, Arista dropped the group, and the members disbanded to pursue their own projects. Jurado ended up doing work with Jazz artists; Kelly Moneymaker has released a few albums (Like a Blackbird and Through these Basement Walls); while Curless has done a few low-key projects.

In 1995, Bruno fully recovered from her throat tumor and began singing again. After a small stint with the band Wet, she worked on a solo career focused mostly on dance oriented material. Her first album, Expose This, was released in the Spring of 2004.

During the summer of 2003, the lineup of Curless, Jurado, and Moneymaker reunited briefly for a reunion concert. Currently, Curless, Jurado, and Moneymaker paid for permission to use the name. However, no further appearances have been scheduled. Bruno chose not to perform since their deal to use the name required the members to not promote their own music while doing so.
