Smile biographySmile started as a duet of Nina Boquist (the brunette) and Veronica Larsson (the blonde). Veronica started singing and dancing since a very young age and actually she had her first international release in Japan back in 1995 as a member of the Swedish eurodance group Look Twice where Veronica was lead singer. Their songs were composed and written by Robin Rex and Robert Uhlmann, produced by Mik Christensen. They had a lot of success in Japan and many of their song were featured on Dancemania and DDR compilations. Their second album Future Girls showed they were able to recapture the energy from their first album and improve on it for this outing. Afterwards, the group was renamed as Smile.DK and Nina was replaced by a new singer called Malin. She had been singing and dancing since she was 5 years old and has lately been doing backing vocals for many famous Swedish musicians. She is described as a smily and very happy girl. Malin already knew Veronica since 1994 and they were very good friends. A sort of Best Of album was released in 2001 in Japan, under the group's new name. Golden Sky was the title of the third album. A strong follow-up to the two predecessors that sold more than 600.000 units altogether. Golden Sky contained 11 tracks, including a special Japanese bonus track. The tracks emphasized Smile's mission : to entertain and create smiles and happiness, accomplished through catchy melodies spiced with cute and funny lyrics. Smile managed to create many moods and scenarios through their music. Ranging from up-tempo to tender sensitivity in ballads.
