1) Hailing from Sweden, Play encompasses pop and r&b to create a youthful sound. Formed in 2000 by Laila Bagge, Play was made up of 4 girls; Anna Sundstrand, Anaรฏs Lameche, Rosie Munter, and Faye Hamlin. With this lineup they released 2 albums and toured with acts such as Destiny's Child and Aaron Carter. Between late 2003 and the middle of 2004 Faye Hamlin decided to leave the group and Janet Leon joined. The girls soon released a 3rd album, titled Don't Stop The Music, and joined the Spring Thing Tour with acts such as Jump5 and Stevie Brock. Later in 2004 the girls also released a christmas album, and proceeded with a small tour to promote the album. Between the releases of the last two albums, Play made the move from Columbia records to a smaller label from which the christmas album was released. News about the girls nearly dried up as rumors circled about the withstanding of the group. This was even more intensified with Columbia's release of Girls Mind, a "best of" album from the groups previous line-up with Faye Hamlin. It was later confirmed in September 2005 that the group had decided to call it quits.
In 2009, two of the original members of the group, Anaรฏs Lemeche and Fanny ("Faye") Hamlin, decided to rejoin and release a cd. They contacted their previous manager Laila Bagge who welcomed them with open arms. They found a third member in Sanne Karlsson. Their work towards a successful album launch could be followed on the Swedish tv show "Made In Sweden".

Play is a project of Slawek Pietrzak, the former guitarist of the famous vocalist Kazik and his band โKultโ. Additionally, He is the owner of the independent record label SP Records. The band was formed in the summer of 1998 by Slawek Pietrzak, โPyzaโ (the drummer who collaborated not only with Play, but first of all with Kasia Nosowska and Tymon Tymaลski) and Olaf Deriglasoff (The Captainโs Children, Pudelsi, Kazik, Apteka, Yugoton). The musicians recorded in โSlabe Studio SPโ firstly rough sketches - their own ideas and compositions - with the invaluable help of Slawek Janowski. For two years Slawek Pietrzak (on and off, while dividing his time between running the company and collaborating with Kazik Staszewski), was enriching the songs and sound tracks as best He could with new musical lines and adding unusual, amazing sounds on his own. When the album was almost completed, He invited Tomasz Staลko and Andrzej Smolik to cooperate. But there was still the unsolved issue of lyrics and vocalist. Then Slawek Pietrzak met Marek ลledziewski by chance while filming the videoclip โAndrzej Goลotaโ for Kazik Live. ลledziewski, the director of the videoclip, created the lyrics and sang them. The song โ001โ was released in 2001 as the first single to promote the forthcoming new album. Meanwhile, new material had been gathered and the new album was ready for release. New artists took part in the creative process e.g. Artur Affek (Kayahโs guitarist), Dj Feel X (Kaliber 44) and Kasia Nowicka (Novika).
The whole album was recorded by co-producers Slawek Janowski and Sebastian Witkowski (who also played on the keyboards).

Turn the page it's all history
Take a pen write your name on my heart
If we try we can make it better
I don't want to hear another love story
Turn the page it's all history
Take a pen write your name on my heart
If we try we can make it better
See I heard it all before
She did you wrong
'Cause you pain, your hearts been broken
Don't mean to be cruel
But you gotta let it go
And I know you think you'd never find someone new
But lemme break it down to for you
I've been lonely too, and baby I made it through so..
I don't want to hear another love story
Turn the page its all history
Take a pen write your name on my heart
If we try we can make it better
I don't want to hear another love story
Turn the page it's all history
Take a pen write your name on my heart
If we try we can make it better
Better, better, better, better
See I'm not the kinda girl to love and leave
Don't be afraid I'm right here with you
