Fab! (stylized as FAB![1]) were an Irish girl group from Dublin consisting of Aileen Melinn, Adrianne Deegan, Tara Lynch, and Ruth McIntyre.[2] The group was assembled and produced by Ben "Jammin" Robbins.[3][4]
In 1997, they recorded in London for Polydor and worked with the choreographer who worked with Peter Andre.[5]
Their most successful song was "Turn Around",[2] that spent three weeks on the UK chart in late 1997 – early 1998, topping out at number 59.[1] Before Fab!, the song had been recorded by Chynna Phillips, formerly of Wilson Phillips, and appeared on her 1995 album Naked and Sacred.[6]
In early 2000, the American magazine Billboard reviewed their promo single "Something's Gonna Have to Change" issued on Republic/Universal, writing: "Together with a chorus that beats the band and sends it packing, this standout rock track will have the masses singing with the fervor usually reserved for mainstays Britney and Christina. Fortunately, the vocals here are more mature than the likes of many other groups vying for their moment in the light, adding to the delightful charm of this runaway could-be smash."[4] The song was based on Bobby Brown's US number-one hit "My Prerogative", "structurally assuming" its main melody line.[4]
Tara Lynch's brother, Shane Lynch, was a member of the boy band Boyzone,[7] twin sisters Edele and Keavy are in the girl group B*witched,[8][9] and sister Naomi was in the group Buffalo G.[10] Tara left Fab! in 1999.[10]
