Kosheen achieved international success with their debut single Hide U, which reached #6 in UK official chart. Their debut album "Resist" (released in 2001), a powerful mixture of drum'n'bass, trip-hop, chillout, hip-hop-inspired beats and traditional singer-songwriter production, was warmly accepted by both critics and audience and later went "platinum" in the UK.
With their second LP "Kokopelli", Kosheen changed their music style and turned to more rock-oriented tunes mixed with electronica & trip-hop. The first single from the album, "All In My Head", became a huge hit, reached #7 in UK chart and the album went "gold".
Kosheen are also known for their classy gigs, gathering thousands of people from all over the world. The band's live sound is slighty different from their studio production. They have just finished a successful UK tour and are performing throughout Europe to December 07. Live they are augmented by Mitch Glover on live drums and Gary Eccles on keys (on session)
Sian was involved in some side projects, including collaborations with Bent (tracks "I Can’t Believe It’s Over" and "Sunday Boy" on Bent’s cd "Ariels") and Cajun jazz band Root Doctors. Her vocals can also be heard on Decoder’s composition “Defenseless” (off his “Dissection” album), recorded before Kosheen was formed.
The band's third album "Damage" was released in the UK on Moksha on 10th September 2007. Damage is a mixture of inspirations from electronic influence from "Resist" and guitar tunes from "Kokopelli". The sound of "Damage" mixes elements of dark electro, synthpop, downtempo, vocal, electronica.
Kosheen has announced a new release for February 2012 called: Independence. Samples & full versions of tracks (Waste, Belladonna) appearing on this can be found @ Soundcloud.

I Was Wrong
Kosheen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not easy
For someone like me
To always see both sides
But in this situation I'd agree
Yeah all right
I was wrong,
I'm sorry it took so long
To come clean if you know what i mean
Or now it's all wrong
So can we talk it over
Before you go
I'm wrong
Yeah I was wrong
I was wrong
Tarara, tara
So can we talk it over before it's all gone
I'm wrong
Yeah baby I admit it
Tarara, tara...
Hey, I was wrong
I admit it
It was all me baby
I'm wrong
Tarara, tarara...
The lyrics to Kosheen's song "I Was Wrong" are about a person apologizing for their past mistakes and dishonesty in a relationship. The singer expresses that it's difficult for them to always see both sides of a situation, but they acknowledge their wrongdoings and ask for forgiveness. The repetitive "tarara" throughout the song is reminiscent of a lullaby or a soothing melody, perhaps reflecting the singer's remorse and vulnerability.
The first verse establishes the singer's struggle with seeing both sides of a situation, but in this case, they know they were in the wrong. The chorus repeats the line "I was wrong" repeatedly, emphasizing the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions. The second verse highlights the singer's regret for taking so long to admit their wrongdoing and their hope that they can talk things over and fix the relationship before it's too late.
The overall message of the song is one of accountability and vulnerability. It takes courage to admit when we are wrong and to apologize, and the song emphasizes that it's never too late to make things right if we are willing to do the work.

When she moves on stage, there always seems an element of jazz in it. Nearly seeing her dancing here also ;)
