Songwriter Bobby Sandstrom helped them write and record demos. The group eventually signed a music publishing deal with Sony's RCA Record. After several years of work, they finally could make a major release.
In the fall of 1996, Wild Orchid released their self-titled debut album Wild Orchid. The largely self-written album sold nearly a million units worldwide and included the singles "Talk To Me" (which was included in the hit movie Fools Rush In), "At Night I Pray," and "Supernatural." The album received two Billboard Award nominations for "Talk To Me," two Lady Of Soul/Soul Train Award nominations - one for Album of The Year by A Group, Band or Duo and one for Best Music Video for "Talk To Me," and an American Music Award nomination for Favorite R&B/Soul New Artist.
In late 1997, the group toured with 98 Degrees and *NSync, and in the summer of 1998 the trio released their second album, Oxygen which included the single "Be Mine."
Wild Orchid also hosted the ABC Family Channel's Saturday morning show "Great Pretenders," which featured chart hits lip-synched by everyday kids, while competing for prizes. They also went on a 52-city tour with Cher and Cyndi Lauper.
In 2001, the group released "Stuttering (Don't Say)," which reached the Top 40 chart, and had a concert special on Much Music, on July 29, 2001. Stacy parted ways with Renee and Stefanie shortly after in September 2001, leaving Wild Orchid to continue on as a duo. Stacy joined the Hip-Hop group Black Eyed Peas in 2003 under the stage name Fergie. Wild Orchid's third studio album as a trio, Fire, was never released, although a song off the album called "It's All Your Fault" was featured in the 2001 film What Women Want.
In 2004, Wild Orchid, consisting of Renee and Stefanie, released their fourth studio album "Hypnotic". Unfortunately, it failed to make the Billboard charts. Since then, Renee has been doing work as a session singer and Stefanie is now a member of the House/Techno duo, 5th Element.

Wild Orchid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flowing deeper than time
Rushing over my senses
Like sweet cherry wine
Stole my emotion
Like a thief in the night
Love made me an offer
I couldn't deny
Want to tell the whole world about this love that I've found
Supernatural love
You're giving me
Supernatural high
Heaven sent from above
Supernatural love
Oh, Supernatural
I'd like to thank you
For changing my world
You made a woman
From a lost little girl
My soul was searching
Searching to find
Something to cherish
A love so divine
I'm hypnotized by feelings I've never felt
It's like your magic put me under a spell
Keep on, keep on giving me
Keep on, keep on giving me
Keep on giving me
Supernatural love
I'm hypnotized by feelings I've never felt
It's like your magic put me under a spell
Lift me up higher, higher and higher
Lift me up higher than I've ever been before
Lift me higher, higher and higher
With Supernatural love
Keep on, keep on giving me, keep on
Keep on, keep on giving me, keep
on giving me
Supernatural love
The lyrics of Wild Orchid's song "Supernatural" are a celebration of transcendent and all-consuming love. The song begins with a metaphor comparing love to a river that is "flowing deeper than time" and "rushing over [the singer's] senses like sweet cherry wine." This initial imagery sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is characterized by the intense emotions and sensations that accompany love at its most intense.
The singer goes on to describe how this love has changed her world, "making a woman from a lost little girl" and completing her at the deepest level of her being. She sings that she is "hypnotized by feelings [she's] never felt," and attributes this experience to her lover's magical and supernatural powers. The song ends with a refrain calling on her lover to "keep on giving" her this supernatural love, to lift her higher and higher, in a climax of pure feeling and ecstatic energy.
"Supernatural" is a powerful and passionate love song that speaks to the transformative potential of love at its most intense. It is a celebration of surrender, and of the way that love can lift us out of ourselves and into a transcendent state of being.
