Mary Kiani, usually spelled Märy Kiani on her records, is a Scottish singer (born Mary McKloskey on 27 March 1965), who first had hit songs as vocalist for dance music act The Time Frequency (TTF) in the early 1990s and later a solo career. Before TTF, Kiani was a session musician and has toured with Donny Osmond and performed vocals on The Simpsons' Yellow Album.
"Real Love", featuring Kiani, the group's only Top 10 hit in the UK Singles Chart, peaked at #8 in November 1993. Other charting singles with Kiani were "New Emotion" #36, and "The Ultimate High" / "Power Zone" #17. Hit singles for the group without Kiani were "Such A Phantasy" #25 and "Dreamscape '94" #32.
Kiani featured as vocalist on TTF songs; "Real Love", "New Emotion", "Supernature", "Higher Than Heaven", "The Ultimate High", "Take Me Away", "Real Love '93", "Real Love 2002", and "New Emotion 2000".
After leaving the Time Frequency, Kiani signed a solo recording contract with Mercury Records. She topped numerous club charts and her early singles all made the UK chart. "When I Call Your Name" made #18, the double A-side release "I Give It All To You" / "I Imagine" peaked at #35, and was followed into the charts by the cover of "Let the Music Play" which reached #19. Her fourth release "100%", her last single to be remixed by Motiv8 was another hit at #23, and "With or Without You" (a U2 cover) peaked at #46. All the singles were taken off her album Long Hard Funky Dreams, which was commercially less successful.
