Damozel - You Don't Know Me Like That (2000)

Damozel was an R&B girl group from the early 2000's that was put together by hip-hop\R&B artist Kelli "K-Ball" Ball, and included Brandy Merchelle, Tasha Goodner, Lisa Ball and Tamisha "Tish" Lotterberry. In 2000 they released their debut single, 'You Don’t Know Me Like That', which featured rapper Rah Digga, and which failed to make any impact on the charts, but their follow-up single, 'Everyday's A Party' did much better, and peaked at #34 on Billboard’s Hot R&B\Hip-Hop Singles Sales chart. It was also later featured on the soundtrack to the 2001 film, 'Two Can Play That Game', and this seemed enough for their record label MCA Records to offer them an album deal, which they recorded throughout 2000, but the offer was later withdrawn and the album was shelved. After this it seemed as if Damozel faded into obscurity, although they did start performing together again around the 2010's, and released music on their ReverbNation page, but nothing much has been heard from them since about 2014. As usual with these scrapped R&B albums, there is nothing at all wrong with it, and so fans with long memories who fondly remember those two singles can now hear what would have been Damozel's debut album from 2000.
