New Fun Factory is a German Pop group formed in late 1998, with rotating members, first comprising singer Lian Ross (Josephine Hiebel), rappers T-Roc/Tiger One (Terrance Lamont Croom), Alfonso Losa-Eser and Alexander Walser from Liechtenstein, who were the first of several spin-offs of the successful German dance group Fun Factory.
When Fun Factory split up in 1997, a new group formed in the late of 1998, first comprising singer Lian Ross (Josephine Hiebel), rappers T-Roc/Tiger One (Terrance Lamont Croom), Alfonso Losa-Eser and Alexander Walser from Liechtenstein, who were the first of several spin-offs of the successful group Fun Factory. In particular, for some of their releases they have been credited as The New Fun Factory though they have also been credited as Fun Factory for better sales for the Asian Market and shared the same logo design. Other variations were Fun Factory #2, FF, New Fun Factory or Fun Factory Next Generation. The first single Party with Fun Factory, which samples J. Geils Band's song "Centerfold", has been released under the FF logo in 1998. Before their first studio album Next Generation, published on Marlboro Records, which has been released in 1999, lead singer Hiebel had been replaced with Annett Möller, an entertainer from Germany, though it has been later revealed, that Hiebel kept providing vocals in the background for all their later releases until their disbandment in 2001 with Möller just lip-syncing and performing with the group on stage. Also Losa-Eser left the band in 1998, leaving them as a trio. The album Next Generation has been released in the Asian market and sold over 100,000 copies. The album spawned two more singles, Sha-La-La-La-La and I wish, shortened and retitled Wish, which samples Michael Jackson's "Human Nature", in 1999. For the Party with Fun Factory and Wish single releases, the group has been promoted as simply FF and Sha-La-La-La-La as The New Fun Factory.Party with Fun Factory peaked #1.
