We discussed the newest La Bouche music, his constant and ongoing tribute to Thornton and his own personal artistic endeavors. I had a heartfelt, intimate and brilliant conversation with the now multi-platinum artist McCray, who now lives in Germany. The duo are constantly touring large arenas and stadiums globally. In 2015, McCray discovered Hungarian-born, effervescent singer Sophie Cairo, and together they have just released La Bouche’s first brand-new music and video in 16 years called “Night After Night.” The song is an energetic and powerful mix with the iconic flavor that belongs solely to La Bouche. McCray, stunned and devastated by tragedy, continued to tour globally as La Bouche, keeping the brand alive. In 2001, Thornton left La Bouche to pursue a solo career, but shortly thereafter the unthinkable happened: She died tragically in a plane crash in Zurich, Switzerland. Now recognized for a series of super hits, including “Sweet Dreams,” “Be My Lover,” “You Won’t Forget Me” and “Tonight Is the Night,” the duo was initially discovered by German record producer Frank Farian, who along with techno DJ Ulli Brenner and producer Amir Saraf produced some of the best dance music on the planet, fronted by Thornton and McCray. ![]() One of the most powerful and vibrant duos to rule the ‘90s euro-pop dance scene was La Bouche (French for “The Mouth”), then featuring singer Melanie Thornton and singer/rapper Lane McCray.
