B4-4 - Feel Free (To Say No) (2003)

B4-4

When I think back to this group I think of their videos Get Down and Go-Go on MuchMusic and how 00's those frosted tips and that seashell necklace were.

Looking up their debut album('00) I was surprised to see that Simon and Milo (James McCollum and Jason Levine) from Prozzäk produced 5 of the tracks and wrote the lyrics for Get Down (and their other singles Go-Go, Everyday, and Endlessly). Makes me think about how interconnected the Canadian music industry can be.

Also didn't know they went on to release a follow-up album as it was never released in their native country. I'm curious why that was, I'm sure there is a story behind that.

Listening to the sophomore album('03) it seems to have some different elements like undeniable Micheal Jackson styled vocals in Bad Girl and spanish guitar in Señorita and Player(Your My Ecstasy).

The twins of the group formed RyanDan and released a self-titled album('07) with classical meets pop sound. The album charted in the top 10 in Canada and UK Billboard. A lot of credits for the album are UK based so it may have been recorded there.

RyanDan released a second album('14) with seemingly little information or promotion online.

Ohad, the other member of b4-4 had left the group to start a line of Bluetooth headphones that converted to in-ear to stereo speakers in one device in 2008. A Kickstarter campaign starts and ends in 2016 and appears to be the start of the end of Boomphones

RyanDan also provided songwriting and/or music producing for Toronto area artists like Dan Talevski and artists on CP record label including Mia Martina and Danny Fernandez

Where are they now? The RyanDan twins run a dog boarding business in the Greater Toronto Area while Ohad is now a co-founder and CEO of his own prefab house company based in California.

2003 was a pretty lit time for me and it only got better as the bands got better
