ONE TWO – Hvide Løgne (1990) HQ *Exclusive*

320_1 /// 320_2 /// HQ 1 /// HQ 2

A female-fronted AOR / Rock&pop band from Copenhagen, Denmark, ONE TWO consisted of two lead-singers,Cæcilie Norby and Nina Forsberg, and guitar player Søren Bentzen (who also wrote most of the music) as stable members.
Their ’86 self-titled LP enjoyed great success in local charts getting massive radio airplay with 2 singles released. For the next album, Søren decided to give the group a radio-friendly lite AOR / rock&pop approach. Roxette was ruling the world… but also American bands with a woman at front.
Released 1990, with the album ”Hvide Løgne” ONE TWO achieved their goal, this is very melodic CD with AOR smoothness, the whole CD sounds fresh and listenable, like a female Mr. MISTER or the stylized side of STARSHIP, and sometimes, the poppy version of HEART.

While half of the album us sung in Danish, the inclusion of the other half written in English denote the intention of ONE TWO to enter the UK / U.S. market. They try it with the next and final album, but failed mostly for the lack of proper promotion, and the group dissolved.
Nina Forsberg have since recorded some albums with her modern rock band, while Cæcille Nordby has turned to a jazzy style.
Anyway, ”Hvide Løgne” is now a cult album among fans of ’80s melodic rock/pop AOR, with an emphasis of quality female vocals and fine harmonies
