Out of gratitude and because they felt it was a great title, the group decided to name the album after that song. The girls teamed up with Rob Davis for the songwriting and production of several songs and as a result, Kylie Minogue with whom he frequently collaborated, donated the song "Feels So Good" to the album. McCluskey spoke of dissension between himself and the record company, whose "formula" demanded "'Whole Again', 'Whole Again' and more fucking 'Whole Again'" he was essentially dismissed and legally prohibited from contacting the band, before exiting the "very dirty" business of "manufactured pop".Īfter releasing a cover version of " Eternal Flame" on the previous album, Susanna Hoffs from The Bangles was asked to write a track for the album called "Love Doesn't Have to Hurt". The songwriting and production agreement with McCluskey and Kershaw was an increasing source of tension within the group, and the pair departed during the recording of the album. The first recordings from the album were the songs "Walking on the Water", "The Moment You Leave Me", and "No One Loves You (Like I Love You)", all of which were featured on the album. Once again, the group teamed up with OMD members and Atomic Kitten founders, Andy McCluskey and Stuart Kershaw, who wrote the majority of tracks on Right Now. The album was further promoted with the simultaneous release of the book Atomic Kitten: So Good, So Far by Ian McLeish, in which the girl group gave an insight look into their early career.įollowing the success of their debut album Right Now, Atomic Kitten returned to the studio in the fall of 2001 to begin work on their second album. The album was certified double platinum (862,000 sales) and the album was certified Platinum by the IFPI for selling more than one million copies in Europe. Following the release of the single "The Last Goodbye"/"Be with You", the album climbed back to the top ten in for two weeks. Atomic Kitten became only the second girl band to have the number-one single and album at the same time after the Spice Girls. The album received mixed reviews, but fared well on the charts, reaching number one and selling 80,000 in its first week with the single "The Tide Is High" having been number one the week before, selling 145,000 copies. As with debut album Right Now, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark members and Atomic Kitten founders, Andy McCluskey and Stuart Kershaw – who parted ways with the group during recording – made multiple songwriting contributions. The style of the album is both comparable and different from the first album as it has upbeat dance songs, but consists mainly of pop ballads and midtempos. Feels So Good is the second studio album by girl group Atomic Kitten and the first full original album featuring Jenny Frost.
