Booty Luv (UK)

When glamorous label Hed Kandi approached Cherise Roberts and Nadia Shepherd, of Hip–Pop act Big Brovaz fame to record a promotional track for the label, few would have envisaged that months later the girls would be sitting at number two in the UK singles chart with the Booty Luv revolution in full swing.
The R & B singers exploded onto the dance scene in late 2006 with a superb cover of Tweet’s “Boogie 2nite.” After topping various dance charts, the single shot up to number two in the national chart, where it spent an incredible 17 weeks in the top 75.
Following this huge success, their contract with Hed Kandi was extended and 2007 saw the arrival of their second single, “Shine.” The Luther Vandross cover was another top ten hit for the girls, receiving huge support from national radio stations and staying in the top 40 for 7 weeks. Their debut album “Boogie 2nite” accompanied third single “Don’t Mess With My Man” which reached number 11. “Some Kinda Rush” became Booty Luv’s fourth consecutive top 20 hit when it reached number 19 in the charts in January 2008.
As Cherise and Nadia enjoy more and more success, and with plans for a new album to come, the sky is the limit for Booty Luv.
