1. Clea is a singer songwriter from Brisbane, Australia.
2. Clea are a pop band from England, United Kingdom who met on TV show "Popstars : The Rivals". After being voted off the show and not making the group that would become the highly successful Girls Aloud, they decided to form their own band.
Founding members were Chloe Morgan (née Staines), Lynsey Brown, Emma Beard and Aimee Kearsley, their initials being the name of the group.
They got signed to 1967 records in 2003, and released their debut single "Download It" the same year. The single charted just outside the Top 20 at No.21.
In February 2004, they released their 2nd single "Stuck In The Middle", which again charted outside the Top 20. Chloe Staines left the band in May 2004 and her voice removed from subsequent re-releases, including the album that followed. Clea's debut album "Identity Crisis" was only released in Russia & Eastern Europe. It was not released in the UK & Ireland. Due to lack of sales, 1967 Records dropped them. They then resigned to Upside Management, and started releasing music independently.
In September 2005, they released a third single "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off", which barely charted in the Top 40. This was followed by "Lucky Like That" which charted at number 55. Even though they had a string of disappointing chart positions, Clea still decided to release a second album, "Trinity". This would be their first album release in the UK, which didn't even chart in the top 200.
According to their MySpace page, Clea split up in late 2006 after a string of commercial failures. Emma and Aimee went on to form duo LoveShy soon after, but then disbanded in July 2008.
Emma recently appeared on Paris Hilton's British Best Friend and placed 3rd.

You know why
Missing you is killing me, honey
Emotions cut deep
I've tried so hard baby
To make you see
You get back what you give
Nothing is ever for free
Oh baby, true love
Comes only one time in your life
Take a close look at your heart
See what you feel inside
'Cause something so special
Just can't be denied
You were my first love
My last love, my life
You say you don't care, it's all over and done
It's a lie
Respect me for all I've been, honey
We can overcome
You're trying to lose me, baby
You push me away
You get back what you give
Can't get something for nothing
You're blind to all that you say
Oh baby, true love
Comes only one time in your life
Take a close look at your heart
See what you feel inside
'Cause something so special
Just can't be denied
You were my first love
My last love, my life
Every time I get too close
You pull away
Don't you act this way
(What kind of game)
Are you trying to play
Don't let our chance slip away
True love
Comes only one time in your life (in your life)
Take a close look at your heart (at your heart)
See what you feel inside
Something so special
Just can't be denied
You were my first love
My last love, my life
