English singer Rachel Stevens, a member of pop group S Club, has recorded songs for two solo studio albums, some of which were collaborations with other recording artists.[1] Stevens has also contributed vocals for charity singles.
Her debut studio album, entitled Funky Dory, was released in September 2003. The lead single, "Sweet Dreams My LA Ex", was co-written by Ivor Novello Award winner Cathy Dennis. Dennis also contributed to two other tracks on the album: "Glide" and "Little Secret". "Glide" was written in collaboration with Swedish production team Bloodshy & Avant, while "Little Secret" was co-written with Guy Chambers.[2] The album's self-titled second single was penned by Gary Clark and Martin Brammer, and contained a sample of David Bowie's song "Andy Warhol".[2] British songwriter Richard X received a writing credit for the song "Some Girls" alongside Hannah Robinson.[3]
Stevens released her second album called Come and Get It in October 2005. It was preceded by the lead single called "Negotiate with Love", a dance-pop song which was written by Swedish production duo Vacuum and Australian siblings Nervo.[4] The second single, "So Good", was co-written by Pascal Gabriel and Hannah Robinson.[4] Robinson also collaborated with Richard X on the song "Crazy Boys".[4] Stevens co-wrote the song "Funny How" with British production team Xenomania.[4] "I Said Never Again (But Here We Are)", the album's third and final single, was written by the duo Jewels & Stone and Rob Davis.[4]
