RCA Records beautiful pop vocal trio, Wild Orchid brings a new attitude and style to their newest album, OXYGEN (in stores 9/29/98). Fresh on the heels of their '97 pop hits, "Supernatural," "Talk To Me," and "At Night I Pray," Wild Orchid's newest single, "Be Mine", released August 1998, will no doubt be a hit for the pop charts. Known for their rich vocal skills and song writing talent, the group's history, as three lifelong friends from Southern California, sets them apart from other all-female groups currently on the music scene.    

This second album features new music which encompasses the life experiences, dreams, pains and passions of the heart of Wild Orchid - Stacy Ferguson, Stefanie Ridel, Renee Sandstrom. The threesome's magical vocal blend and universal lyrics are mesmerizing, touching the innermost regions of the soul. A Collection of 12 songs, OXYGEN is provocative and fun, filled with an emotional depth that comes only with growth both as performers and as women. With eight songs co-written by Wild Orchid - including "Be Mine", the mid-tempo "Holdin' On" and the tear-soaked "Wasted Love" - OXYGEN reinforces Wild Orchid’s place as one of the quintessential classic girl groups of today and tomorrow.
