Cosmo4 is a Swedish girl group consisting of Yasmine Qin, Ulrika Liljeroth, Jenny Rogneby, and Rudina Hatipi. Since their formation in 2006, the ensemble has released two notable singles. Carin da Silva, an earlier member, departed in late 2006 to pursue academic goals and was succeeded by Rudina Hatipi. Prior to this lineup, Lisa and Johanna participated only in 2004 during the release of their debut single "Mexico." The group members have diverse origins: Yasmine from China, Jenny from Ethiopia, Rudina from Kosovo, and Ulrika from Sweden; all currently based in Sweden.
Career
In 2007, Cosmo4 took part in the second semifinal of the Swedish Melodifestivalen with their song "What's Your Name," competing to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest held in Finland. They advanced into the top five but ultimately placed fifth in the final vote, which ended their progression in the competition. Nevertheless, the track received airplay on Swedish commercial radio stations. The group later announced intentions to participate again in Melodifestivalen in 2009.
The year 2007 also saw plans for Cosmo4’s debut album release, featuring singles such as "Peek-a-Boo," "Adios Amigos," and "What's Your Name." The album, titled Around The World, was initially slated for launch in Russia through Style Records. Promotional materials indicated a complete set of 12 tracks; however, due to limited market interest confirmed by member Ulrika, the album was never officially released across Europe or made available on iTunes.
In 2008, several Cosmo4 songs were included on compilations issued by Thai label Red Beat, with some tracks still accessible on platforms like ethaicd. Tracks including "Vida Loca" and "Shop Shop" gained visibility through these releases and YouTube exposure. That same year, Red Beat reportedly distributed a limited edition of Around The World within Thailand. Additionally, a rendition of their single “Peek-A-Boo” was featured in an advertisement promoting Mattel’s Barbie Peek-a-boo Petites dolls.
