Description

Billie Ray Martin's 'Your Loving Arms' was a top ten hit in the U.K, a massive club hit worldwide, and remains one of the great dance anthems. Her story reads like a Hollywood movie, full of twists and turns. It even contains the obligatory 'singer looks for band' advert which leads to Electribe 101. But when a second album is rejected, the band splits, Billie Ray Martin goes solo, and the album is forgotten for 30 years. Until this year!Part Two of the interview with Billie Ray Martin, where she talks about her route to success in London, including being a vocalist for S'Express, that now-legendary advert which led to Electribe 101, success and rejection with the band, the missiles that were thrown when supporting Depeche Mode, the moment she knew 'Your Loving Arms' would be a massive success, and the brilliant 'lost' album of Electribe 101 - 'Electribal Soul' that has just been released.Connect with me on Instagram; steve.blameFor more on Billie Ray Martin - https://www.billieraymartin.com/ And thanks to POP; The History Makers insanely wonderful talent booker: #ArchieCMichael Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
