4no1

4NO1 was a British vocal group formed in the early 2000s with members Roberta Coomes, Nailah Blackman, Tasha Spiteri, and Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley. Their debut single 'Baby Can I Hold You' became a hit in 2002, leading to their self-titled debut album that same year. They followed with albums 'One' in 2003 and 'Stars' in 2004, working in a space between R&B, soul, and pop.

The group received two BRIT Award nominations and won a MOBO Award for Best Female Group during their initial run. They disbanded in 2005 but reunited in 2011, though their later years were marked by public tension. In 2015, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley publicly accused her former bandmates of racism and lack of support regarding her mental health struggles, creating a rift that received significant media attention.

After the group's various hiatuses, the members pursued solo careers. Roberta Coomes released her debut solo album in 2010, while Nailah Blackman and Tasha Spiteri both released solo material in the following years. Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley continued as a solo artist while becoming an advocate for social justice and mental health awareness.

Their catalog includes songs like 'Carmen,' 'Clock's Ticking,' and 'Falling Down' alongside their more well-known singles. The group's music remains part of the early 2000s British R&B landscape, remembered for its vocal harmonies and the complicated personal dynamics that unfolded alongside their recordings.
