Deep Obsession is a New Zealand group, notable for being the only New Zealand act to have three consecutive No.1 singles in the Official New Zealand Music Chart. == History == Deep Obsession started recording their debut album in 1997. They signed with the newly merged New Zealand branch of Universal Music in 1998 after their first single - a cover of the Air Supply song "Lost in Love" - was released in 1998 and peaked at No.1 in the New Zealand singles chart.〔 The group's next two singles - "Cold" and "One & Only" also peaked at No.1, making them the only New Zealand act to have three consecutive singles reach No.1.〔 The platinum selling debut album Infinity was released in New Zealand in 1999.〔 Soon after the 2nd Number 1 single Cold was released Christopher Banks stopped working with the group, and began producing a number of different NZ artists with long-time friend, and co-producer Michael Lloyd. Deep Obsession continued promoting Infinity and performed with Hanson, S Club 7, Vengaboys and Five. In 2000 lead vocalist Zara Clark was nominated for "Best Female Vocalist" at the New Zealand Music Awards, and the Number 1 song she had co-written with Banks Cold was also nominated for "Best Songwriter". Back-up vocalist Vanessa Kelly won "Most Promising Female Vocalist". In 2001 Deep Obsession was nominated for an International Achievement Award at New Zealand Music Awards. Also in 2001 Kelly accepted a solo offer from Universal NZ. In June 2015 she told the Otago Daily Times that she left the group saying that she felt that the record company did not support them.〔〔 Kelly sings the lead vocal for the song 'Powers in You' from the Infinity album. Both Clark and Kelly sang the backing vocals & harmony vocals for Infinity (see album inlay). Kelly was replaced with new back-up vocalist Charlie Lawson. And the third incarnation of Deep Obsession recorded the single "Miracles", it was not released for sale. But it reached No.34 from radio airplay alone.〔〔 In 2013 a third version of Infinity was found and the album was available for sale in Japan by Discogs. Clark, Kelly and Banks reunited for the first time in 2015 for celebrations to mark the 40th anniversary of the New Zealand Music Chart and were honoured for their chart successes.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deep Obsession」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
