Crispy (later known as XPY) was a Danish Dance-pop trio that was formed in Copenhagen in 1997 by music producer Mads B.B. Krog and vocalists Christian Møller and Mette Christensen. Their most notable song are "Licky Licky" from the 1998 album The Game. Three of their songs ("Bubble Dancer", "The Game" and "Kiss Me Red") were also featured in the four-panel dance game In the Groove.

Crispy's debut album, The Game, was recorded in 1997 and released the following year. The group was successful in Scandinavia and Asia, and was awarded the Pop Shop Award '98 for best Scandinavian debut release in 1998 among 15 nominees.[1]

Career

edit

The trio was founded in 1997 by Mads B.B. Krog, featuring Mette and Christian as the vocalists. Crispy's first single, "Kiss Me Red", was released in February 1998 in Scandinavia, and enjoyed only moderate recognition at first. They released "Calendar Girl" in April. The single, "Licky Licky", was much more successful. The single "Love is Waiting" was released in May 1999.[1] Crispy released their debut album, The Game, in mid-1998. Several editions of The Game were released, the most common being the release of 12 tracks. The group became well-established in the Danish dance-pop scene.[1] At the end of 1998 Crispy went on a promotion tour in Japan, Singapore and the Philippines, and performed in Europe over the following year.

The group began preparing a second album around 1999, but it was scrapped due to vocalist Mette Christensen, who was weakened by a health problem and had to leave the group. In 2000, the group was restructured into a duo and the name was changed to "XPY". Danish singer and actress Gry Bay joined as the new vocalist alongside Mads. Under this new lineup, only two singles were released: "L/R" and "La Fiesta", both reaching the top 20 in Denmark.[2] XPY came to a definitive end in 2001.

CRISPY HAS BEEN a fixture on Denmark's dance charts and in clubs since its first single, "Calendar Girl," was released by Iceberg Records in April 1998. It has been followed up by "Kiss Me Red," "Licky Licky," and "Love Is Waiting," which will see a European release this month. The trio's name fits its brand of dance/pop music, which sports crisp vocals and a strong beat. "The Game" won the prestigious Pop Shop Award 98 for best debut album in a vote-in contest staged by the Danish Broadcasting Corp.'s main station, P3. A revamped version of the album with 12 tracks and three bonus tracks will be released in European territories and the Far East in the summer. The band is signed to BMG/RCA worldwide, except in Scandinavia (Iceberg) and Japan (JVC); it will be released by Dino Music in the Netherlands. "Kiss Me Red" was sent out early in the year as a "taster" track in Germany, and "Licky Licky" was issued in Japan.
