Sad news in Pop World today: The Xenomania-produced Brit Pop duo Mini Viva have officially disbanded.
The “Left My Heart in Tokyo” hit-makers just posted an official statement on member Britt Love‘s Tumblr:
First off all we would like to apologise for not being able to tell you sooner what was going on with Mini Viva. It was something we had to decide for ourselves first and of course it was a big decision.
Both of us felt like the time was up for Mini Viva. We had tried so much and so had everyone who was supporting us. But sometimes things just don’t work out the way you would like them to. We would just like to take this time to thank every single one of you for supporting us on our journey! We could not have asked for more loyal fans than you guys!
We both had the most amazing time as Mini Viva, we travelled to amazing places and met some wonderful people. We will cherish the memories forever.
We would love you to keep supporting us along our different paths. You guys and girls have been so incredibly supportive, everything we did as apart of Mini Viva we are incredibly proud of!
Thank you so much we hope you will stay in touch and support us both like you did with Mini Viva, this is far from a goodbye this is just the beginning! :-)
With only three singles under their belt, the Viva ladies truly never had their time to shine–especially when their last single (“One Touch”) was their best offering yet! Quite sad, indeed.
Both Britt Love and Frankee Connolly are said to be pursuing solo careers at this time. In fact, Britt’s got some stuff up on her Tumblr already (“Playing The Game”) that seems quite promising.
Let us remember one last time with “I Wish.” (WATCH)
At least we’ve still got Booty Luv. Wait–WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THEM TOO?!
There is no God.
