Luv in the air for Empire Valentine's special

By Evening Gazette

LUV is in the air for a Valentine’s Day clubbing special because The Empire in Middlesbrough has announced a four-act gig which will be headlined by BOOTY LUV.

Booty Luv was created during early recordings of Big Brovaz’ Re-Entry album when music executives offered Cherise and Nadia the chance to record and promote a new version of R&B/soul singer Tweet’s club hit Boogie 2nite.

Following the poor sales of early singles from Re-Entry in mid-2006, the girls accepted the offer and began recording their new version of the song - initially only as a promotional track for the record label Hed Kandi.

Six months later in December, however, Booty Luv’s version of Boogie 2nite was released as an actual single in the UK and mainland Europe following positive reviews from club DJs on the dance scene.

Three years on since the release of Boogie 2Nite, Nadia Shepherd and Cherise Roberts can now boast more than a million sales across four UK top 20 singles and a silver-certified album. With a second album imminent, even bigger and better things lie ahead.

Fresh from yet another smash hit record in Say It, Booty Luv have been spending hours in the studio and are expected to release their new material in the coming months.

Support on the night comes from local talents KHIALAH WILSON, XTN and BRE.
