Play
Biography
The Swedish dance-pop quartet Play were originally comprised of Rosanna Munter (aka Rosie; born 1987), who played a lead role in the movie Eve and Adam, teen fashion model Faye Hamlin (born 1987), legendary actress Greta Garbo's relative Anna Sundstrand (born 1989), and pop singer Amanda's sister Anais Lameche (born 1987). The girls were chosen after a casting call conducted by Laila Bagge, wife of writer/producer Anders Bagge (aka Bag), who finally brought them to Sony Music. After performing live as part of the 2001 TeeNick Presents: Aaron's Party Tour, Play debuted in the U.S. with the release of a single called "Us Against the World," followed by their self-titled debut album in June 2002. Play hit number 74 on the Billboard Top 200 soon after it was released, and the group made numerous performances throughout North America on the strength of a partnership with Limited Too.
The group's second album, 2003's Replay, climbed even higher on the charts, debuting at number 67 and remaining in the Billboard Top 200 for several months following its release. Boasting an R&B-soaked sound and featuring Hamlin as the lead singer, the album managed to make a splash when the video for "I Must Not Chase the Boys" made its way onto MTV's TRL countdown.
