E-Rotic

E-Rotic is a German commercial Eurodance act, originally established back in 1994 by [a=Lyane Leigh] and [a=Raz-Ma-Taz] AKA [A=Richard Michael Smith]. Lyane and Richard had an irreconcilable argument with their manager and left the group to establish their own dance act called [a=S*E*X* Appeal] in 1996. It remained a secured secret that Lyane, even if no longer with the group, was still giving her voice to E-Rotic. She can be heard on all releases until "Gimme Gimme Gimme" released in 2000. [a=Lydia Madajewski] then took over the vocal duties.

It was revealed recently (and confirmed) that [a=David Brandes] was the real voice of every E-Rotic rappers, apart from the very first single.
The rumour is that the first single rap was done by [a=Michael J. Gibbs] but that was never confirmed.
[a=Jeanette Christensen] was hired to lipsync the parts sung by Lyane Leigh and rapper Terence d'Arby was hired to lipsync the rapping of [a=David Brandes].

Around October 1996, Terence d'Arby left the group and was "replaced" by another frontman: Ché Jouaner.
Jeanette Christensen left the group in 2001, followed by [a=Yasemin] 2002 and Lydia Madajewski in 2004.
After their great success in Europe in the mid-90's, E-Rotic had a relative success in Japan.

In 2015 E-rotic made a comeback for the live shows with Lyane Leigh and a new rapper, Stephen Appleton.
New single "Video Starlet", produced by David Brandes, released in spring 2016.
in 2020, the classic E-rotic compilation "Greatest Tits" was first time released on double yellow and black vinyl with new mastering.
