Vixen is an American group formed in 1980 and originally consisting of Jan Kuehnemund, Laurie Hedlund, Gayle Erickson-DeMatoff, Cindy Boettcher and Noel Bucci.
A group that took a few years to get noticed before signing in 1988 with the EMI Manhattan label, a label that allowed them to produce a first eponymous album that year. And for a first album it is a real success since the album will produce no less than 2 top hits : “Edge of a broken heart” in 1988 and “Cryin” in 1989.
Success confirmed 2 years later with the release in 1990 of the album “Rev it up”, an album which gave them another notable success with the Single “How much love”.
A great adventure which was cut short in 1998 with the lackluster release of the album "Tangerine", an album which did not produce any hits worthy of the name and which somewhat precipitated the planned decline of the group.

Tracks :
1988...first title and biggest success of their entire discography ! A sensational debut for this 100 % female group which has all the possible assets to make people talk about it, that's clear !
1988...from the start the girls showed a more than certain maturity both in terms of style and sound. Really astonishing...
1988...they show at the same time that they are capable of hitting and playing as hard as men. We have been warned...
1989...female groups are rare in this very particular musical register. If you add to that girls with more than attractive looks and more than certain talent you inevitably have the cocktail of ideal success !
1989...after 2 first titles which allowed the girls to explode on the international scene, the rest will be somewhat disappointing with a violent decline in the Charts, to say the least...
1990...temporary unscrewing because business will definitely resume at the very beginning of the new decade. The worst is avoided...
1990...in just a few titles they managed to establish themselves as one of the phenomena of the moment and for that alone, hats off girls !
1990...unfortunately an ascent can be too rapid that they will not be able to manage in the long term. Hard law of the trade...
1990...they had everything they needed to last for years and years. But fate will interfere and seriously shorten the adventure...
1990...in any case we will make the most of the little they will produce because there is really quality in all that, it is undeniable...
1990...in the end a light discography but which will have made this 100 % female group one of the references in the field. Good job girls !
1991...the success will have been resounding but the fall behind will also be. Too bad because it all went really well and we already saw them at the top of the bill for years and years...
1998...they will disappear from the radars for almost 8 years which is not nothing but here they are back all the same at the very end of the decade...
1998...a return which will unfortunately go somewhat unnoticed. Their absence of 8 years has had a lasting impact on their career, it is clear...
2006...when we thought we wouldn't see them again, here they are again almost 8 years later. A return which will not be more visible than the previous one...
2006...yet there is quality in this new opus but there is nothing to do, when it no longer wants, it no longer wants. Hard law of the trade...
2006...at least they tried. A group that had everything he needed to shine brightly and that missed its destiny in a surprising way...
2006...they still managed to produce several very high caliber titles, so the results were ultimately more than flattering...
2018...they disappear then they come back, then they disappear again then they come back. Strange journey...
2023...so last title or not ? We now know that with her, everything is always possible, so we'll see what they have in store for us next...
