New Radicals

New Radicals is a project by American musician Gregg Alexander that existed for 2 years. It was created by Alexander, who had previously released two solo albums that did not enjoy much popularity. New Radicals released only one album, Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed Too, which received gold status (more than 500,000 copies sold) based on sales results in the USA, and the group itself received the title of "breakthrough of the year." Authorship of the music, lyrics, and production of the songs belonged exclusively to Alexander. The album is compared to the music of the 1970s; it has influences of rock and the "blue-eyed soul" of that time. Alexander's vocals are sometimes compared to those of Mick Jagger. The group is known for 2 singles and music videos for those songs — "You Get What You Give" and "Someday We’ll Know." On July 12, 1999, tired of the grueling tour and show business in general, Alexander announced the termination of the project. After this, he was engaged in writing and producing songs for Ronan Keating, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and Enrique Iglesias.
