Barbarellas (initially known as Ms. Lynch) was an Irish pop duo composed of twin sisters Edele and Keavy Lynch, born on 15 December 1979. The pair were formerly part of the pop ensemble B*Witched. Under the Ceol Music label, they debuted their album Night Mode in 2011.
History
Following the breakup of B*Witched in 2002, Edele pursued songwriting alongside the Xenomania production team, contributing to tracks for artists such as Girls Aloud and Sugababes. Meanwhile, Keavy established Ziiiing, a music production company based in Ireland. Between 2006 and 2009, the twins performed under the name Ms. Lynch, appearing at various festivals and nightclubs while sharing demo recordings via MySpace.
In 2010, the duo adopted the name Barbarellas. Their first single, "Body Rock," produced by Yoad Nevo and featuring remixes from Manhattan Clique and Riffs&Rays, was released on 19 January 2011. It garnered favorable reviews from Popjustice. The subsequent single, "Night Mode" (originally titled "Diet Coke"), came out on 10 April 2011 but received mixed responses from fans due to the alteration of its title. Their album Night Mode, which launched on 17 April 2011, also attracted varied critiques and failed to enter the Top 100 charts. The project concluded in October 2012 when B*Witched announced their reunion.
