If a picture could tell a thousand words, then the one associated with this article would have to include somewhere in there a noticeably missing term when traditionally describing Bad Boy artists and MTV reality stars Danity Kane – “Respect.” At least that’s what the lovely ladies conveyed when taking a moment to chat with rolling out. When the subject of the music industry’s recent slant towards Euro-pop singles came up for discussion, the quintet was quick to point out who the real originators were.since no one else seems to realize the truth. “If you listen to our music, we knew long ago that our sound as a group was geared more towards a Euro-pop feel,” group member Dawn shared. “Now all of a sudden, all of these other artists are coming out with singles that have the same sound and it’s being hailed as fresh and innovative. I don’t know if that lack of respect for our artistry has anything to do with us being on a reality show, but I’m hoping that people will begin to open up their ears and see that we’ve been over here doing our thing when it comes to music.” “Look at our new single ‘Bad Girl,’ Shannon added. “Even that song is a totally different sound. We’re hoping that it will take off, and when it does, maybe then people will begin to give us credit for being ahead of the pace musically.”–dewayne rogers
