Peach (known as Peach Union in the United States) was a British pop/ dance/ electronic trio formed in London in 1995. The band had several singles in the mid to late 1990s. They are best known for the 1997 hit " On My Own".
The trio was composed of the London-based singer-songwriter Lisa Lamb with the songwriter Paul Statham and the record producer Pascal Gabriel. [1] Before Peach, Lamb had a solo career as a singer-songwriter in London, releasing a drum and bass version of the classic soft-rock song " Summer Breeze", in 1995 and working as a jazz singer. Statham had worked extensively with the former Bauhaus member Peter Murphy, and Gabriel already had a long career in the pop and dance music industry, most notably with S'Express and Bomb the Bass.
Peach released one album, Audiopeach, in 1998 on Mute/Epic Records, inspired by early 1980s music. [2] The track "On My Own" charted well worldwide, reaching No.1 in Israel and Sweden, No.2 in Canada and Mexico as well as reaching No.69 in the UK Singles Chart [3] and No.39 in the US. [4] It was used in the film Sliding Doors. [5] The album received positive reviews at the time of its release. [6] The group disbanded without recording a follow-up album.
After the split, Gabriel and Statham continued working together for several years, writing and producing songs for a variety of acts including Dido and Kylie Minogue. [7] Gabriel has subsequently worked with Miss Kittin, Ladyhawke, Little Boots, Marina and the Diamonds and Goldfrapp, amongst others.[ citation needed] Lamb went on to write music for film and television, and founded a sonic branding company, creating audio identities for clients such as T-mobile, AT&T, Ben & Jerry's and Disney.[ citation needed] On 27 November 2009, Lamb appeared at The Royal Vauxhall Tavern in South London to perform two of her Peach singles - "From This Moment On" and "Sorrow Town".[ citation needed]
