The Honeyz were an English R&B girl group. Formed in 1997, the original line-up consisted of Célena Cherry, Heavenli Denton and Naima Belkhiati. Mariama Goodman first replaced Denton in 1999. The group had five UK Top 10 hits between 1998 and 2000, including "Finally Found" (1998), "End of the Line" (1998) and "Won't Take It Lying Down" (2000).
Between 2005 and 2009, the third member of the group was Candace Cherry (Célena's sister). In 2012, Célena Cherry, Denton and Goodman reformed for the ITV reality show The Big Reunion. This was the first time Denton and Goodman appeared in the same line-up. They went on to perform in the successful 14-date Big Reunion arena tour in May 2013. Denton once again left the group in 2015, with Cherry and Goodman continuing as a duo.
Honeyz formed in 1997. The original line-up was Cherry, Heavenli Denton (formerly known as Roberts and Abdi) and Naima Belkhiati. The Honeyz signed to Mercury Records, who intended to promote them as a direct rival to Destiny's Child, but they were dropped in 1999 after Denton left in the midst of promoting their third single "Love of a Lifetime" and former Solid HarmoniE member Goodman was introduced as her replacement. After three singles, Goodman left the group in 2000 due to a disagreement with Belkhiati and Denton rejoined. The group signed with Def Jam Records, but were dropped in 2001 and disbanded in 2002. Throughout this period, the group released one studio album, Wonder No. 8, on 23 November 1998 with the original line-up. The record was re-released on 1 November 1999 with the second line-up. A second studio album, Harmony, was left incomplete when the band was dropped by Def Jam.
