Blaxy Girls was a Romanian rock ensemble consisting exclusively of women, originating from Constanţa and established in 2007. The group featured lead vocalist Rucsandra Iliescu alongside Cristina Marinescu, Diana Ganea, Ana Maria Nanu, and Gela Marinescu.
Their initial single, "If You Feel My Love," swiftly became popular across Romania. This success was followed by the internationally released track "Dear Mama" in March, dedicated to honoring women and mothers globally. Their debut album, released in December 2008, included a bonus track titled "If You Feel My Love (Chaow Mix)," which incorporated elements from a traditional Beijing opera. This particular remix experienced a resurgence in 2020 as it was paired with a scene from Tom and Jerry, becoming an Internet meme.
In 2008, Blaxy Girls advanced to the semi-final stage of the Golden Stag Festival, and in the 2009 Romanian Eurovision selection, they secured a joint second-place finish with "Dear Mama." Although they planned to participate again in 2010 with the song "Save the World," they withdrew prior to the competition.
The band was under contract with Roton and continued their musical activities until officially disbanding in 2014 after seven years of performing.
