Sugar Ray
Sugar Ray is an American rock band formed in Newport Beach, California, in 1986. Originally playing heavier funk metal and nu metal style music, the band achieved mainstream popularity in 1997 with their more pop-influenced single " Fly". The song's success led the band to shift its style dramatically to the more radio-friendly pop sound with their subsequent releases. Their best-selling album, '' 14:59'', was released in 1999, and featured popular singles " Every Morning", " Someday", followed by a self-titled album in 2001 featuring the single " When It's Over". The band would release two further albums, ''In the Pursuit of Leisure'' (2003) and '' Music for Cougars'' (2009), though the albums and respective singles generally sold far less. The band continued to tour into the 2010s. In 2019, ten years after the band's last album, they announced their seventh studio album, ''Little Yachty'', in June 2019. The lead single, "Make It Easy", was released the same month. Histor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Floored'' is the second studio album by American rock band Sugar Ray, released on June 24, 1997. It includes the hit song "Fly", and another moderately successful single, "RPM". Two versions of "Fly" appear on the album, one of them featuring reggae artist Super Cat. ''Floored'' is the first album to feature DJ Homicide as an official member whereas he was a guest musician in the previous album ''Lemonade and Brownies.'' Recording The pop rock single "Fly" originated late in the recording sessions. Prior to coming up with the song, the band feared Atlantic Records would drop them due to the underperformance of their 1995 debut ''Lemonade and Brownies''. Early in the writing process of ''Floored'', singer Mark McGrath pushed for the band to make more scream-oriented metal songs, but the other members preferred melody-driven music. Disagreements over the album's intended sound led to McGrath storming out of a practice session in New York City. Bassist Murphy Karges has labelled ...
