Haircut 100

The remainder of the band tried to continue with Paint and Paint in 1984, but they broke up soon after. Her first independently recorded and released album, Wilderness, was released in 2004. "Love Plus One" was even bigger than anything previous, and Haircut 100 seemed poised for stardom just as Heyward decided to seek a solo career. It was bundled with a bonus disc containing new songs, demos, remixes, and videos. They were successful from the beginning, with 1981's (1981 in music) "Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)", setting the stage for the breakthrough success of Pelican West in 1982 (1982 in music). Timbre was re-released in 2001 on her own label. Haircut One Hundred (also known as Haircut 100) was a pop-New Wave band formed in 1980 (1980 in music) by Nick Heyward, Les Nemes and Graham Jones with Phil Smith, Mark Fox and Memphis Blair Cunningham.

A 1998 documentary by Gigi Gaston called The Cream Will Rise is based on Hawkin's life. Her influences include jazz, rock, and African music. Many of Hawkin's songs are openly about sex, such as "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" and "I Need Nothing Else"; on Timbre, songs such as "32 Lines" and "Your Tongue Like the Sun in My Mouth" began to deal explicitly with her bisexuality. It also contained a Top 10 hit, the song As I Lay Me Down.

Whaler, her second album, was released in 1994. The single Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover went to #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles' chart in the USA. It achieved both critical acclaim and worldwide commercial success. Her debut album, Tongues and Tails, was released in 1992.

Hawkins began performing professionally as a percussionist with Bryan Ferry in the early 1980s. Her two biggest hits are "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" and "As I Lay Me Down". Hawkins is an American singer and songwriter, born 1 November 1967, New York City, USA. Sophie B.
