Leilani was briefly signed to Trevor Horn’s ZTT at the end of the 90s and during her time as a popstar delivered one of the most incredible Top 20 singles of all time, the appropriately titled ‘Madness Thing’.
The song, as you correctly remembered, contained the line “And when your boyfriend comes home early; to find you sucking on a Curly Wurly; don’t you just hate the madness of it all?” This being 1999, Leilani was presented as a jolly, colourful kiddiepop singer in the same mold as Lolly.
Leilani released 3 songs in 1999, Debut: Madness Thing. 2nd: Do you want me. 3rd: Flying elvis. Leilani is a very memorable singer to those of us who were into 90’s pop. |
