Untitled

After the Rain was the first album by Irish girl group Bellefire, recorded in 2001. It was prevented from being widely released in 2002 by Virgin Records' sudden decision to axe the group. This was in spite of the recent success of their single "All I Want Is You". By that time, the album had only been released in Japan.

The album achieved some success in Japan and spawned the 3 singles, "Perfect Bliss", "Buzzstyle (Find My Way)" and "All I Want Is You".

Although not received outside Japan, the European version of the album was to include new tracks.

Track listing

  1. "Perfect Bliss"
  2. "I Wish I Could But I Can't"

Other

Bellefire co-wrote 3 of the tracks on the album: "Find My Way", "Surrender" and "Don't Let Me Down". The album booklet credits Bellefire as co-writing the song "If Living Is Without You" although it has been confirmed by the band that they did not write this song.

Upon European promotion, Bellefire would regularly perform the track "Surrender". It was heavily speculated that "Surrender" would be the 3rd or 4th single but due to being dropped, this never happened.

Several songs were recorded for the European release of the album. Confirmed songs:

  1. "Got Me by the Heart"
  2. "I Hope You Dance"
  3. "Light My Fire"
  4. "Turnaround"
  5. "Don't Leave the Light On"
  6. "For You" (rumoured)

"I Hope You Dance" is a cover of the Lee Ann Womack song. The band stated that the song was very uptempo and included wah-wah guitars. The song was later recorded by Ronan Keating.

"Light My Fire" is not a cover. Both "Light My Fire" and "I Hope You Dance" were both performed live at Leicester Square in April 2002. "Turnaround" was recorded by Westlife and is the title track of their album.
