Marion Raven and Marit Larsen's brief, bright run of close-harmony pop in the late '90s and early 2000s.
For their signature sound, start with 'Don't Say You Love Me.' For something a little quieter and more diary-entry, try 'Dear Diary.'
They landed with a global hit right out of the gate, 'Don't Say You Love Me' was on the soundtrack for 'Pokémon: The First Movie' in 1999. That song and others like 'Everything You Do' were built on simple, clear melodies and the kind of vocal blend that only comes from singing together since childhood. Their sound never got fussy, which gave even their breakup songs a direct, unadorned feel.
They met in a local choir as kids and formed M2M in 1998. After their debut album Shades of Purple in 2000 and a follow-up called The Big Room in 2002, they split that same year. Both Raven and Larsen went on to solo work, with Raven writing for artists like Rihanna and Larsen releasing her own albums.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
