OGENE is back after a short break. The three singing sisters launch new music. With a small name change and new looks. Their first self-penned single ‘Phenomenon’ can already be heard and is even making fans hopeful of a Eurovision entry.
It becomes clear that Lisa, Amy and Shelley Vol have not been sitting still lately when they make their big comeback on Friday morning. “The lyrics, the melodies, the sound: that’s us. ‘Phenomenon’ is the first chapter of the new book we are writing,” reads the press statement.
The sisters, who have been in the spotlight for twenty years, have broken the contract with their former record label and made a minor name change. It is no longer OG3NE, but OGENE, with the full letter E. The singers went into the studio and created, wrote and learned to realize their own song. “There were still so many paths to discover. That’s why we decided to continue on our own, to find out what we are capable of if we lead the way. The three of us have enough strength.”
OGENE shares a preview of the new single via Instagram and TikTok, but it can now also be listened to everywhere. Fans are very enthusiastic about the sisters’ comeback and new sound. ‘No other words for it than perfection’, it sounds. And: ‘Back to the Eurovision Song Contest, please.’
OGENE represented the Netherlands during the Eurovision Song Contest in 2017 in Ukraine. They then finished eleventh in the final.
OGENE’s Triumphant Return: A Musical Sensation!
Well, well, well! Look who’s back in town! After a brief hiatus that felt shorter than a pop song’s bridge, the three dynamic sisters of OGENE—or should we say, OGENE now, because apparently less is more—are launching into the musical stratosphere with their new single, ‘Phenomenon’. And let me tell you, if this isn’t a case of “step aside Adele, there’s a new sheriff in town!” I don’t know what is!
The Sisters’ Bold Musical Leap
Lisa, Amy, and Shelley Vol are making waves like it’s 1999! With twenty years of vocal acrobatics and dazzling performances under their sequined belts, these ladies have decided to break free from their former record label shackles. A little name change here, a complete makeover there, and voilà! OGENE is born, sounding fresher and more fabulous than ever. They’ve matured like a fine wine, and judging by their press statement, it seems they’ve found their own sweet vintage.
With a mantra that reads like a self-help poster (“There were still so many paths to discover…”), they emphasize their independence. It’s like they’ve flipped a switch from being the students of the music biz to headlining—the “best babysitters in the world” are now parenting their own musical career, and they are *not* holding back!
‘Phenomenon’: A Musical Masterpiece?
Their first self-penned single, ‘Phenomenon’, has already begun to echo through the halls of TikTok and Instagram. Curtain up, ladies! With fans already calling it “perfection,” I can just imagine the sisters reading those comments and whispering, “Is this the part where we book our tickets to Eurovision?” Spoiler alert: Every mom in the audience just nodded knowingly. Because let’s be real, Eurovision isn’t just a contest—it’s the grand stage where all musical dreams ferment into a delightful cheese of fabulousness.
Returning to Eurovision would be like a triumphant reunion with the ex who finally realized you were the catch all along. OGENE represented the Netherlands in 2017, but they surely left the door open for a sensational comeback. Finishing eleventh in Ukraine may not have secured the crown, but hey, it’s a heck of a lot better than being remembered as “that one girl who forgot the lyrics.”
What Comes Next?
So, what’s next for these three songbirds? With enthusiasm bubbling up from fans across the land, it seems like OGENE is on the brink of something phenomenal (yes, I went there). The public is clamoring for more tunes, more glamour, and perhaps more eyebrow-raising outfits that would make even Lady Gaga raise an eyebrow. Can we expect an album filled with more self-penned hits? Will they continue sharing their creative journey on social media? And let’s not forget, is Eurovision ready for OGENE’s sparkling return?
As we embark on this musical adventure together, keep your ears perked up and ready for some seismic soundwaves. In a world where talent shines through like glitter on a sun-soaked day, OGENE seems poised to take the spotlight once more! So here’s to the power of sisterhood, self-discovery, and kicking the music industry’s butt—one catchy chorus at a time.
After a brief hiatus, OGENE, the talented trio of singing sisters, is making a triumphant return with exciting new music. With a slight name alteration and fresh new looks, they are set to captivate their audience once again. Their debut self-penned single, titled ‘Phenomenon’, is generating buzz and igniting hope among fans for a potential return to the Eurovision stage.
The announcement of their comeback on Friday morning reveals that Lisa, Amy, and Shelley Vol have been diligently working behind the scenes. “The lyrics, the melodies, the sound: that’s us. ‘Phenomenon’ is the first chapter of the new book we are writing,” the sisters conveyed through a press release, emphasizing their creative evolution.
The sisters, who have lit up the entertainment industry for two decades, have recently parted ways with their previous record label. In a bold move, they have rebranded themselves from OG3NE to OGENE, ensuring to include the full letter E. Within the studio, they not only composed and recorded their new song but also embarked on a journey of self-discovery, learning what they could achieve as independent artists. “There were still so many paths to discover. That’s why we decided to continue on our own, to find out what we are capable of if we lead the way. The three of us have enough strength,” they expressed passionately.
OGENE has taken to social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok to share a sneak peek of their new single, which is now available for everyone to enjoy. The response from fans has been overwhelmingly positive, with many declaring the new sound as “perfection.” The enthusiasm among their supporters echoes sentiments like, “Back to the Eurovision Song Contest, please.”
In 2017, OGENE proudly represented the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest held in Ukraine, where they impressively secured the eleventh position in the grand final.
H looks, they are ready to captivate audiences once again. We caught up with Lisa, Amy, and Shelley Vol to discuss their comeback and the release of their first self-penned single, “Phenomenon.”
