II

II was the fourth and final non-compilation album for Belgian/Dutch eurodance act 2 Unlimited. It was the only album to feature Romy and Marion as vocalists and was only released in certain European territories. Despite not garnering a UK release, it did spawn a hit single: Wanna Get Up, which made 38 in Britain. As they still owned the rights to the name "2 Unlimited", Belgian producers/songwriters DeCoster and Wilde recruited two new (again Dutch) singers, Romy van Ooijen (b. 18 November 1971) and Marjon van Iwaarden (b. 18 June 1974), in order to capitalise on previous success. "Wanna Get Up" did well in the Netherlands, reaching no. 10 and the single, which was remixed by Sash! for UK release, reached number 38. The album II, was released in April 1998. It was not as successful as previous studio albums, nor were the subsequent singles "Edge Of Heaven" and "Never Surrender". In 1999, both van Ooijen and van Iwaarden left 2 Unlimited. In some European countries, Wanna Get Up, The Edge of Heaven and Never Surrender were released as singles.
