"Whole Over again" is a song recorded past British girl group Diminutive Kitten for their debut studio album, Right At present (2000). It was co-written by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Nighttime members and Atomic Kitten founders Andy McCluskey and Stuart Kershaw, forth with Jem Godfrey and Nib Padley, with production helmed by McCluskey and Kershaw under their production moniker Engine. Godfrey and Padley are credited as additional producers.

Information technology is the grouping's biggest selling unmarried to engagement and was the terminal single to feature founding member Kerry Katona, who left the group midway through promoting the single. "Whole Again" was the outset single released from the album in Europe and Southward Africa. It was a massive success, reaching number one in several countries and selling over a million copies in the UK alone.[1]

The four writers were nominated for the Ivor Novello Honor for excellence in songwriting,[ii] and Billboard ranked the track number 96 on their listing of the "100 Greatest Daughter Grouping Songs of All Time".[iii] Multiple artists, including OMD, take covered the vocal. Following the divergence of Katona, she was replaced a few days later by Jenny Frost of young man English language girl group Precious, merely after the unmarried topped the UK Singles Chart. Every bit a result, the music video was reshot and Frost'southward vocals appeared on the reissue of Right At present.

Background [edit]

"Whole Once more" was written and produced past Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark members and Atomic Kitten founders Andy McCluskey and Stuart Kershaw.[4] A mid-tempo carol that combines a strolling beat and one-note string crescendos,[5] it initially featured all lines spoken by Kerry Katona with only the chorus sung past Liz McClarnon and Natasha Hamilton.[five] While this version was included on the Japanese version of Diminutive Kitten's debut album Correct At present (2000), Innocent Records A&R manager Hugh Goldsmith felt that information technology was still a half‑finished song and asked songwriters and producers Jem Godfrey and Bill Padley to re-write it for the UK version of the anthology.[6] With the chorus existence already at that place, Godfrey and Padley decided on writing a tune for the verses and changed most of the chords in "Whole Once more," but were not able to change its key.[6] Godfrey later described the process as "quite difficult, because the chorus of the song was so hooky that the poesy had to atomic number 82 up to information technology simply not overshadow it, which is why it ended up sounding every bit low as it does. We very carefully worked out what the vocal range of the Kittens was, considering the last affair we wanted was to write a melody that was fantastic just that they wouldn't be able to sing."[six]

Recording of the new verses took place at Godfrey and Padley'southward West Hampstead music studio.[6] A hasty affair due to the band's hectic schedule at that time, much of the vocals were recorded within 30 minutes, with McClarnon and Hamilton each singing the whole song twice only.[vi] Too every bit recording the new vocals, Godfrey and Padley also took over the job of producing "Whole Again," although they were careful to preserve the features of McCluskey and Kershaw's original version, including Katona'southward spoken flake in the middle.[6] While the duo kept much of the "underwater organ sound" from the original session, they were forced to replay other elements and added a couple of boosted loops from the sample albums Vinylistics three and Advanced Orchestra to the track.[6] Padley and singer friend Angie Giles also provided vocals for the gospel function near the end of the song for which the producers tracked about forty vocals and put several delays and effects on information technology to audio like a choir.[6] While Innocent Records liked their version, they asked Godfrey and Padley to re-tape McClarnon and Hamilton's vocals at to the lowest degree two more times, though they somewhen decided on using the original vocals that had been recorded in W Hampstead in the end.[6]

Release [edit]

While Innocent Records planned to release "Whole Again" every bit Diminutive Kitten's fourth unmarried at times, it was eventually replaced by "Follow Me" to pb the Great britain release of parent anthology Correct Now.[six] Post-obit the commercial underperformance of both "Follow Me" and the initial release of the anthology,[7] Diminutive Kitten persuaded their label to release "Whole Again" equally a last-ditch attempt to keep their tape deal.[6] During promotion for the single, Katona announced her pregnancy and subsequent decision to exit the group. With the unmarried'due south release imminent, the group opted to recruit Jenny Frost, previously a member of fellow British girl grouping Precious, as a replacement and continued their promotional campaign. The version with Jenny Frost'southward spoken discussion portion replaced the original version for radio airplay, and it was later issued as a bonus track on international versions of the group's second anthology, Feels And so Proficient.[8]

Chart performance [edit]

The single debuted at number one in the United Kingdom with first-week sales of 69,286 copies,[nine] staying atop the chart for four weeks and increasing in sales during every week that it was at number one.[ten] [xi] It has since gone on to sell over i,000,000 copies in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland alone.[12] Information technology is the 4th best-selling unmarried by a girl group of all time, after "Wannabe" and "2 Get 1" by the Spice Girls and "Never Ever" by All Saints.[10] It as well became the 13th overall best-selling unmarried of the 2000s decade.[thirteen] Equally of November 2016, information technology remains the biggest-selling song of the 21st century in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland by a daughter band.[xiv]

In Commonwealth of australia, "Whole Once more" peaked at number two on the ARIA Singles Chart, being certified double platinum for shipments of over 140,000 copies.[xv] [16] The unmarried was also released in Germany and New Zealand, where information technology secured the number-one position for 6 consecutive weeks in both countries.[17] [xviii] In Germany, the unmarried was certified platinum for shipments exceeding 500,000, while in New Zealand, it was certified double platinum, cogent sales of over 20,000.[xix] [20] It additionally peaked atop the charts of Austria, Ireland, and kingdom of the netherlands, also as the Eurochart Hot 100.[21] [22] [23] [24] In Denmark, Flanders, Romania, Espana, Sweden, and Switzerland, information technology entered the top 20.[25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [thirty]

Music video [edit]

The music video for "Whole Again" was filmed on a very minor upkeep due to the commercial failure of previous single "Follow Me". Information technology features the Kittens singing in forepart of a plain white groundwork—similar to the video for the Sugababes' debut single, "Overload".[10] The original version of the video includes Kerry Katona, who had left the grouping just before the vocal's release. Much of the video was after reshot to feature new member Jenny Frost.[31]

Equally a result of the unmarried'due south huge success in many international markets, a second music video was filmed for the U.S. release in May 2001 with a much larger budget. This version features the three women walking through the streets in Downtown Los Angeles and walking out into the countryside, gradually picking up more than people forth the way. The video ends with the camera zooming out on the field for Atomic Kitten's former logo is invisible in a shape of a kitten.
