Yoomiii

German pop group Yoomiii hit the ground running in spring of 2006. Kristin Siegel, Nina Alexandra Filipp, and Bouchra Nisha Tjon Pon Fong were signed by the Na Klar label, under BMG Berlin. The young ladies were thrown headlong into a rigorous schedule of photo shoots, TV appearances, choreography training, and countless interviews with the German teen-oriented press. Pop star boot camp not only prepped the young performers for the market, but vice versa as well. By the time their first single, "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme," hit the airwaves, European youth were already quite familiar with the name Yoomiii. The song debuted on May 6, 2006, at number 14 in Germany, and in the Top Five on Austrian and Swiss charts. The subsequent record release received a similar reception. Here We Are landed in the Top 20 nationally, faring even better abroad. The ladies' follow-up single, "A Kiss Is All I Miss," spent several weeks in the Top 50. Yoomiii rounded out 2006 with a national tour and the release of their first DVD, and kicked off 2007 with their hit single "Rhythm of Love," whetting appetites throughout the pop-loving world for their sophomore effort, Let the Music Play, which was released in May 2007. Sadly for fans, Yoomiii split soon after and the album proved to be their last. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez, Rovi
