Lucilectric was a German pop and rock duo founded in 1993 by singer Luci van Org and producer Ralf Goldkind. They are best known for their 1994 hit single Mädchen (Girl), which spent 12 weeks in the German Top 10 and reached number two. The single also charted in Switzerland, Austria, and the Netherlands. Another single from the same album, Hey Süßer (Hey Sweetheart), reached the Top 40 in 1994. Lucilectric recorded two more albums before disbanding in 1999. The duo was formed in Berlin as part of the early 1990s revival of German-language rock and pop, following the Neue Deutsche Welle and preceding the emergence of Neue Deutsche Härte. Comparable contemporary groups that achieved commercial success include Tic Tac Toe and Die Prinzen. At the time, some cultural commentators criticized Lucilectric for what they considered a trivialization of femininity. After the duo disbanded, Luci van Org worked as a television presenter and host and later formed the gothic alternative band Übermutter in 2001. Ralf Goldkind continued producing music, including work for artists such as Nina Hagen and Die Fantastischen Vier. Read more on Last.fm.
