Neve was a pop rock ensemble originating from Los Angeles, California. They produced two albums under the Columbia Records label and gained recognition with their 1999 hit single "It's Over Now."
History
Neve came together in 1997 and secured a contract with Columbia Records within their first year. Their initial album, Identify Yourself (1998), featured the successful track "It's Over Now," which was included on the soundtrack of The Faculty. This single climbed to No. 30 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in 1999 and reached No. 25 on the Adult Top 40 chart in 2000. Additionally, their song "Skyfall" was part of the soundtrack for Here on Earth. After producing two additional songs, the album was re-released as Neve in 2000, drawing stylistic comparisons to bands such as Matchbox 20 and Nine Days. Despite this, sales were negatively impacted by delays and insufficient promotion, resulting in Columbia terminating their contract. The group ultimately disbanded in 2001.
Post-breakup
After Neve dissolved, several members went on to create the band Genius. The group briefly reunited for a live performance in 2004, and although plans for a new album were announced in 2005, it never came to fruition. Due to legal complications, Genius changed their name to Stars Align in 2006. Under this new identity, they re-recorded Neve’s track "Absent" and released an eponymous EP produced by Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts, but it achieved limited commercial impact. By 2010, former members had pursued different career paths.
