Kerri-Ann, the latest Irish teen pop sensation, is due to release her first single 'Do You Love Me Boy?' on 27th July '98... She signed her record deal while still at school where she was also a champion Irish dancerYes, you read that chart position right, though apparently this did make it to Number 2 in Ireland. In case the phrase "Irish teen-pop sensation" isn't enough of a giveaway, she was managed by Louis Walsh, and signed to Polygram, which might lead a cynical person to suspect that her presence here might even have been some sort of quid-pro-quo for the inclusion of the Boyzone track on the first disc. Scurrilous allegations aside, it must rank as one of the most obscure tracks ever to crop up on a Now! album, having made so little impact at the time and leaving very little impact on posterity. She never released another single in the UK, despite further success in her homeland.
It'd be fun to say that 'Do You Love Me Boy?' was some sort of lost classic, but of course it isn't. It's just a throwaway (and not in a good way) piece of inanity for which somebody seems to have pressed the "latin" button on their sythensiser. If you like castanets, you'll be impressed by this, but that's not enough to make me want to hear this more than the twice I had to for the sake of this post.
