Artist:Sequal
Song:I'm Over You
Album:Sequal
The 1988 single I'm Over You was one of two Dance chart hits for the Freestyle girl group Sequal. They should remind you of the similar but much more successful group Expose. That's not a coincidence because Miami based producer Lewis Martinee formed both groups. The members of Sequal were Angie Vollaro and Maria Christensen. They released three singles in 1985 for the small Joey Boy label. They did well enough in clubs that Capitol Records signed them. The 1988 album Sequal was their only album. I'm Over You reached #11 and Tell the Truth reached #9 on the Billboard Dance chart. Martinee hired big name producers Stock Aitken Waterman and Mantronix to work on the album, Mantronix produced Tell the Truth. But I'm Over You was produced by local producer Michael Morejon and he wrote the song with Angie. Morejon worked on the Joey Boy singles. He went on to produce Jon Secada. Sequal split up in 1990. Maria recorded a 1993 album for Atlantic. She has had success as a songwriter. The big one is she co-wrote the 1999 Jennifer Lopez hit Waiting for Tonight. She has also worked with Disney Channel shows like Lemonade Mouth, Jesse and Austin and Ally. Cherry Red rereleased Sequal in 2012 with a second CD of remixes. But the original album is available as a digital download. Sequal reunited in 2008 and released a single. I don't think they are still activ. Here's the video for I'm Over You by Sequal.
