After signing a recording contract with RCA Records, the trio wrote and recorded songs throughout 1995 with the help of Renee's songwriter brother Bobby Sandstrom. The album took approximately nine months to complete.
Release and promotion
They released their debut single "At Night I Pray" on September 3, 1996, with the album due for an October 29, 1996 release. However, it was postponed and was released on March 23, 1997, in the midst of the popularity of their second single "Talk to Me".
The album debuted with its highest chart position in Billboard's Top 200 Albums Chart at #153. It has sold 1,000,000 copies worldwide.
The album also received two Billboard Music Award nominations for "Talk to Me" and two Soul Train Lady of Soul Award nominations - one for Album of the Year By a Group, Band or Duo and one for Best Music Video for "Talk to Me". The group also received an American Music Award for Favorite R&B/Soul Artist.
Hypnotic is the last album by Wild Orchid. It is the first album released by Wild Orchid since Stacy Ferguson, a former member of the band, left and became a member of the hip hop band The Black Eyed Peas. There are no singles released from this album.
Album information
After the departure of Ferguson, Ridel and Sands recorded "Hypnotic" under the label Yellow Brick Records throughout 2002. The album was released directly on the band's website on January 15, 2003. The duo hoped that they could get a deal with a major label and officially release the album, but it never happened. The album was only available online, and only 5,000 were copies printed and sold.
They intended for "All The Way" to be the first single, followed by Hypnotic however none of the songs were released to radio. Wild Orchid performed a couple of concerts in support of the album, but never got major publicity for the album.
Wild Orchid was an American all female group, which began under the name "NRG" in 1991, and performed as Wild Orchid during the years 1992–2003. In 2013, US Weekly named the group number 18 of the 25 'Best Girl Groups of All Time'.
History
Wild Orchid began in 1990 when Renee Sandstrom and Stefanie Ridel met in their southern California high school's drama department. They decided to form a music group based on their shared love of music and poetry, and they initially called themselves New Rhythm Generation or NRG (energy). Heather Holyoak and Stacy Ann Ferguson (Fergie) soon joined the group and began searching for a record contract. As they wrote their songs and recorded their first single entitled "Get Crazy – Work It", the girls also began coming up with choreographies for their music. Knowing full well that beauty and talent would go a long way, Holyoak, Sandstrom, Ridel and Ferguson sent a portfolio of photographs out along with their demo tapes. Without waiting around for a record company to call, the girls began performing and singing at nightclubs, charity functions, and began hanging out and singing live at local radio stations.
