Early life and education
editRedknapp was born Louise Elizabeth Nurding in Lewisham, London.[2]Her father was a builder and her mother worked atGatwick Airport.[3]Redknapp and her two younger brothers grew up inEltham,London, andOxted,Surrey. She describes herself as having come from a single-parent family with her mother.[4]
At the age of 11, Redknapp won a scholarship[4]to theItalia Conti Academy of Theatre Artsin London, where she met her future Eternal colleagueKéllé Bryanon her first day.[5]
Career
edit1989–1995: Career beginnings and Eternal
editWhile out clubbing at the age of 15, Redknapp met the music manager Oliver Smallman ofFirst Avenue Management,who was forming an all-girl group.[3][6]She subsequently introduced Denis to Kéllé Bryan.[6][7]Kéllé and Redknapp, together with sisters Easther andVernie Bennett,formed the band Eternal in 1992.[6]The group performed R&B, and recorded a number of hits during the 1990s.[8]Eternal's debut single "Stay"entered the UK charts at number sixteen and climbed to number four.[2]Redknapp left the group in 1995 to pursue a solo career,[9]amid unsubstantiated rumours that she was forced to leave because a radio station in the United States dedicated toblack musicwould not promote the racially mixed group.[10]Redknapp says that she left because she was miserable and homesick.[4]
1995–1997:NakedandWoman in Me
editIn late 1995, Redknapp signed a record deal with First Avenue management and EMI Records. Now professionally known simply as "Louise", her debut solo single was the orchestral ballad "Light of My Life"(which reached number eight on the UK charts). Her second solo release,"In Walked Love"(previously a hit from theself-titled 1992 albumby the dance/pop groupExposé), fared less well and missed the UK top ten. However, Redknapp's third single, "Naked",turned things around and became her biggest hit to date, peaking at number five in the UK. Redknapp's debut solo album, also entitledNaked,was subsequently released in 1996 on the back of the single's success. The album received lukewarm reviews,[citation needed]but nevertheless peaked at number seven on the UK Albums Chart. It was later certified Platinum by the BPI for over 400,000 copies sold in the UK alone and over a million copies worldwide. Two further singles were released: "Undivided Love"(UK No. 5) and"One Kiss from Heaven"(UK No. 9).
In 1997, Redknapp returned with the single "Arms Around the World",which reached number four in the UK. Her second solo album,Woman in Me,peaked at number five in the UK and went on to gain platinum status in the UK and sold over a million units worldwide. The album also made an impact across Europe, charting in a number of countries. To support and celebrate the success of the album, Redknapp embarked on a UK-wide 'sell-out' arena tour of over twenty dates, including Wembley Arena. "Let's Go Round Again"(a cover of a song bythe Average White Band) was the second single released from the album, which reached number ten. She was voted "Sexiest Woman in the World" by the readers ofSKY Magazinein 1997.[11]
1998–2001:Elbow BeachandChanging Faces
editAt the start of 1998, Redknapp's career was at a high point: her second album had gone platinum, she was on the cover of magazines such asSmash HitsandGQ,and she had been voted Sexiest Woman in the World by the readers ofFHMmagazine.
In 1998, Redknapp focused on making what she described[citation needed]as her "most personal album to date",Elbow Beach,released in 2000. Redknapp was more involved in the process of this album than her previous two, co-writing all 12 tracks and co-producing most of them.
The lead single fromElbow Beach,the R&B-styled "2 Faced"went straight into the charts at number three, and became Redknapp's highest-charting single. Despite initial hype and critical praise, total sales forElbow Beachwere weaker than the previous two productions, and the album peaked at number twelve.
AfterElbow Beachwas released, Redknapp had one album left on her five-album deal with EMI (including Eternal'sAlways and Forever). In 2001, the label decided to release a greatest hits compilation, incorporating all of her top ten hit singles (including those she had performed with Eternal), calledChanging Faces – The Best of Louise.The collection featured three new tracks, including a cover ofFive Star's 1987 hit "The Slightest Touch".The album peaked at number nine in the UK, and she embarked on the second solo tour of her career.
EMI later released a second greatest hits album entitledFinest Moments,with a slightly different track listing.
2002–2016: Music hiatus
editIn 2002, Redknapp signed a £1.5 million contract[citation needed]with her manager Oliver Smallman's Positive Records (a division ofUniversal Music) to record her fourth solo album. The album was due for release in 2004 alongside the single "Bounce Back". However, due to the singer becoming pregnant with her son Charley, the album was never released. The only single released from the album was the double A-side"Pandora's Kiss" / "Don't Give Up",which peaked at number five and raised money for Tickled Pink/Breast Cancer Care.The unreleased album saw Redknapp work with the likes of Sylvia Bennett Smith and Marc 'M2E' Smith,Mark Hilland Pete Martin. The album would also have included Redknapp's first duet with boy band3rd Wishon the track "Don't Ever Change". In the July 2004 edition ofFHMmagazine, Redknapp was named the "Sexiest Woman of the Decade".[12][13]
2017–present:Heavy LoveandGreatest Hits
editIn August 2017, Redknapp posted a picture of herself in the recording studio on herInstagramaccount, showing that she had been working on new music. On 13 September 2017, Redknapp revealed she would be returning to the music industry by announcing her first live show in more than 15 years at Under The Bridge in London on 22 December 2017. Titled 'Intimate & Live', the show had enough demand for tickets selling out in under 5 minutes, leading promoters and Redknapp to announce additional dates for January 2018 in Manchester, Glasgow, and Birmingham.[citation needed]On 1 February 2018, Warner/Chappell UK confirmed Redknapp had signed a deal with them to release new material later in the year.[14]In February 2019, Redknapp announced she had signed a global record deal with ADA / Warner Music. On 25 March 2019, Redknapp announced that her fourth solo albumHeavy Lovewould be released on 18 October 2019. The lead single, "Stretch", was released on 26 March 2019 to critical acclaim.

On 10 November 2022, Redknapp released the single "Super Magic".[15][16][17]In an interview withFaultmagazine, Redknapp shared, "I wanted to make music I loved rather than just ticking a box for what worked in the industry. I think I’ve forever had to fight to prove myself [...] I’m still fighting to prove myself. I feel that the hardest hurdle is to keep on knocking down those doors to prove myself."[18]"Super Magic" is Redknapp's first release underBMG.[19]It debuted at number 89 on the UK Official Singles Downloads Chart Top 100 on 18 November 2022.[20]

On 25 September 2023, it was reported that Redknapp and her former bandmate Kéllé Bryan had pulled out of a purportedEternalreunion tour scheduled for 2024 after a row occurred because their former bandmates, sisters Easther andVernie Bennett,purportedly refused to play at LGBTQ and Pride events over objections that the trans community had “hijacked” Pride.[36]Eternal's original manager, Denis Ingoldsby defended the sisters Easther and Vernie by stating the sisters have supported the LGBT community and played at many events.[37]Ingoldsby stated “Louise [and her team] have misrepresented the facts to suit their own agenda, ‘thrown [the Bennett sisters] under the bus’, and are trying to get founding members Easther and Vernie cancelled. He stated “the girls loved playing Pride”. "Vernie said she had some concerns about the Pride movement being hijacked - and she is not alone - but this has been weaponised against her"[38]
