The group's unique blend of hip-pop, R&B, Rock, Jazz, Latin, Dance and Soul is sure to set them apart from the barrage of manufactured girl groups in today's market. Sprinkled with scrumptious ballads, the record is simply called "Irene Cara Presents Hot Caramel". To sample songs from the 2 CD set go to www.irenecara.com Irene Cara, born in 1962 in New York City, has been a "triple threat" veteran entertainer since she first dazzled audiences at the tender age of five. The youngest daughter of a Latin musician, she began her career singing and dancing on Latin television, performing with her father's mambo band. She went on to become a prominent actress, with leading roles in theatre, television and film. Although, as a teenager, she worked as a background vocalist for many famous recording stars, it was during her breakout role in the acclaimed 1980 musical, "Fame" that she was signed to be a recording artist in her own right. In 1983 came the blockbuster musical film "Flashdance - What a Feeling", which became her biggest hit and garnered her an Academy Award for Best Original Song. This was a pivotal moment in Oscar history as Miss Cara was the first African American female to win the coveted award since Hattie McDaniel ("Gone With The Wind - 1939"), the first Hispanic female since Rita Moreno ("West Side Story" - 1961) and the first bi-racial female ever to win in any category pre-dating Halle Berry by nearly twenty years. Miss Cara is one of the most awarded artists of her generation, winning Grammy's both as a vocalist and as a songwriter. She won a Golden Globe Award as well as a nomination for Best Supporting Actress, a People's Choice Award, an Obie Award as a child for her work in theatre, an Image Award and countless other industry honors for outstanding actress, singer and composer. She remains a beloved icon to an entire generation and an inspiration to young performers all over the world. For more information on IRENE CARA go to WWW.IRENECARA.COM or visit IRENE on TWITTTER
