Tracklisting:
1. Love Will Find A Way
2. Hit 'N' Run
3. Love Will Find A Way (Remix)
4. Love Will Find A Way (Acoustic)

Description: Sadly, Love Will Find A Way was Bardot's final release as a group and again featured Tiffani as lead vocalist. This feel-good, mid tempo ballad showcased the girl's amazing vocal harmonies and was accompanied by a gorgeous acoustic interpretation which was a highlight of the group's later performances.

I NEED SOMEBODY
Release Date: 22nd October 2001
Peak Chart Position: #5
Sales Status: 35,000 (Gold)
Tracklisting:
1. I Need Somebody
2. I Need Somebody (Club Remix)
3. I Need Somebody (Dub Remix)
4. I Need Somebody (Extended Mix)
5. ASAP (Remix)

Description: I Need Somebody remains Bardot's most memorable and successful hit single. At the time, it confirmed the group's staying power, debuting at #8 and spending numerous weeks climbing towards the Top 5 where it eventually peaked. Another radical move, I Need Somebody was the ultimate dancefoor hit and gained the girls credibility and an understanding of club culture. Tiffani with her sexy lead vocals, stole the show!

ASAP
Release Date: 16th July 2001
Peak Chart Position: #5
Sales Status: 35,000 (Gold)
Tracklisting:
1. Asap
2. Asap (Dance Remix)
3. Asap (R'N'B Remix)
4. Asap (House Mix Extended)

Description: ASAP was Bardot's 'comeback' single after time spent promoting and recording in the UK and was a major transformation, both in terms of musical style and overall packaging. Katie had left while the four remaining members, full of maturity and confidence, were keen to win back their popularity. ASAP was an up-beat r'n'b charged track with in-you-face lyrics and a visually stunning video. Critics who clearly stated from the beggining that Bardot would be 'one hit wonders' were forced to eat their words.

THESE DAYS
Release Date: 28th August 2000
Peak Chart Position: #19
Sales Status: 35,000 (Gold)
Tracklisting:
1. These Days
2. These Days (Remix)
3. Holding On (Live)
4. Higher Than Heaven (Live)

Description: These Day had always been a fan favourite and was the opening track of their debut album. Possibly the darkest track on the album, These Days was pop with a twist and was the only single in which Tiffani did not feature lead vocalist. The track was released on the back of Bardot's highly successful first live national tour and was available in two formats; one with two live tracks, the other being a remix disc. Later in October, the girls gave a brilliant live performance of the single at the ARIA Awards.

I SHOULD'VE NEVER LET YOU GO
Release Date: 29th May 2000
Peak Chart Position: #14

3. I Shoud've Never Let You Go (Radio Remix)
4. I Shoud've Never Let You Go (Dance Remix)
5. I Shoud've Never Let You Go (mrTimothy Remix)
6. I Shoud've Never Let You Go (TNT Remix)

Description: Bardot's second single was a light r'n'b, soul ballad displaying Katie's amazing vocal talents with Sophie's high vocals adding to a beautiful overall harmony. Tiffani's main vocals feature in the middle 8. The video featured the girls being transformed into cartoon superheros.

POISON

Tracklisting:
1. Poison
2. Empty Room
3. Poison (Club Remix)
4. Poison (Dub Remix)
5. Poison (Extended Remix)

Description: Poison was by far the edgiest track on Bardot's debut album with its sexy vocals and spiteful lyrics. A thick bass, huge chorus and Tiffani's husky lead vocals were the perfect ingredients for a pop hit - and so it was spending two weeks at #1, achieving double platinum status. The track also received two ARIA Award nominations including "Best Video".

Peak Chart Position: #16
Sales Status: 35,000 (Gold)
Tracklisting:
1. Play It Like That
2. I Need Somebody

Description: Play It Like That was Bardot's second and final album. The fact that Bardot even released a second album was a milestone in itself as many critics thought the day would never come. But as Tiffani stated in an interview "This time it's about us and not a TV show". The album was recorded in both Australia and the UK and the girl's handpicked the producers they wished to work with, some new, some old. It was recieved well by critics and fans trully embraced the new Bardot sound.

Play It Like That presented a new modern edge. Out was the straight bubblegum pop of their debut, replaced with fresh urban and dance influences. Adding to their credibilty was the fact that each member co-wrote several of the album's tracks. The title track opens the cd and immediately sets the atmosphere of the album with its dark and furturistic production, slick layered vocals and hip-hop beats with Sophie's album-opening line 'whatever turns you on...' From then, the bass is cranked up and the girls return to the dancefloor with the album's biggest hit I Need Somebody. Feel Right returns to Bardot's fun, sugary pop begginings while ASAP and the so-should-have-been-a-single, Belinda-penned Don't Call Me I'll Call You, turns up the heat with its spiteful lyrics and intense beats (Belinda even sings the line 'I wanna find a man who's good in bed baby - OUCH!). Love Will Find A Way tones things down in a breezy summary pop tune while Dirty Water, one of the album's darkest tracks, talks of betrayal and deception - 'Why did I bother? shouldn't have bothered, stay the hell away from me' DOUBLE OUCH! The Sally-penned You Got Me Feeling is slick r'n'b with Tiffani's vocals working an absolute treat! It's Alright is down right funky with girl-power lyrics such as 'won't be sitting by the phone, gonna put my makeup and be out call me when you get home'. Before I Let You Go is the album's only down tempo moment and reaches a beautiful climax towards the end when Sophie sings 'But I'm no longer your girl, you've got the key to my world, yes you do...'. The Tiffani and Belinda-penned Girls Of The Night turns up the heat with its funky beats and party mood while the dark and mysterious When The Cats Away closses the album on a playful note with the lines 'you can run, you can hide, deny and lie, but I spy with my little eye, if I catch you, bye-bye!'.

Play It like That was a greater representation of who Bardot was as a group as opposed to their rushed debut and gave the girl's something to be extremely proud of. I'm sure many regard it a fine pop album that rightfully deserved its place on the charts!

Bardot

Release Date: 1st May 2000
Peak Chart Position: #1
Sales Status: 200,000 (Platinum x2)
Tracklisting:
1. These Days
2. I Should've Never Let You Go
3. Higher Than Heaven
4. Poison
5. Missin' Your Love
6. Down
7. Other Side Of Love
8. What Have You Done
9. Love Me No More
10. Girls Do, Boys Don't
11. Holding On
12. Got Me Where You Want Me

Description: Australia watched as the new popstars, Bardot, recorded the tracks to their debut album. The result was a collection of clean-cut, polished bubblegum pop which although a little over-produced at times, includes some fine moments.

The album's opener, These Days, is twisted pop with a dark cloud hanging over it, similar to Natelie Imbruglia's Torn. One of the album's edgiest moments, who could forget Sally's spoken verse with the random lyrics 'like the shoes on on your feet, same stuff I've heard it before, now philosphy is starting to bore me!' what the! I Should've Never Let You Go is light, soulful r'n'b-pop with Katie's vocals dominating the track from start to finish in a trully amazing fashion while the gospel-inflenced Higher Than Heaven, with its dramamtic opening, showcases the girl's amazing vocal range. Poison, by far the album's riskiest track, moves the album into a more mature direction with its sexy vocals and attitude-fulled lyrics- 'Don't play games baby, cause I don't want your lies and don't think you can diseave this poison deep inside' Missin' Your Love is the album's first ballad and beautiful it is with its simple melody and well structured vocal arrangements while Down turns up the bass with its cheery, boppy motown feel. Other Side Of Love is sugar-coated pop wrapped in a lolly wrapper, complete with a 70's feel while What Have You Done, possibly the album's most grown-up moment, sees Bardot do country! Love Me No More is a standout; a big, dramatic ballad perfect for a movie soundtrack while Girl Do Boys Don't is cheesy, cringe-worthy, bubblegum POP (notice the capitals?). On track 11, Tiffani requests 'can you turn it up a bit more?' which Bardot does with Holding On, a big 60's inspired number which opened their first live concert at the Sydney State Theatre. To close the album, one of Bardot's signature tunes, (and suprisingly not a single!) Got Me Where You Want Me has the girls in latino mood, believing in love at second sight (I guess it's possible?).

Although rushed to meet TV deadlines, Bardot's debut was a good indication of the group's potential and established them as Australia's #1 girl group. A fun pop album.
