About B*Witched
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
B*Witched brought Irish musical touches into the dance-pop style of the late 1990s. The quartet comprised Edele and Keavy Lynch, Lindsay Armaou and Sinead O'Carroll. Their self-titled debut included C'est la Vie, Rollercoaster and To You I Belong, and Awake and Breathe followed in 1999. After an early-2000s separation, the singers reunited in the following decade and released the Champagne or Guinness EP, returning their shared harmonies to new material.
