If you're a fan of nineties indie bands, then you're probably familiar with the frontwoman of Belle and Sebastian, Isobel Campbell. Even after 22 years, she still looks almost identical to her heyday in the band's success back in the 90s.
At the young age of 19, Campbell joined the Scottish pop group after it was founded by Stuart Murdoch and Stuart David. The original six-piece lineup also included guitarist Stevie Jackson, keyboard player Chris Geddes, and drummer Richard Colburn. Since then, the band has recorded 12 studio albums and gained critical acclaim, although they have kept a low profile with their promotional activities, resulting in a smaller but dedicated fanbase.
In 1999, Belle and Sebastian won the Brit Award for British breakthrough act, beating out popular groups like Steps, Five, and Billie Piper. But now, let's fast forward to the present day, where we have an exciting opportunity for you. How would you like to win two tickets to see Girls Aloud at Brighton Pride in 2024?

But let's not forget about Belle and Sebastian, who have also made a name for themselves in the film industry. Their music has been featured in popular movies like Juno, High Fidelity, and 500 Days of Summer, and their song "The Boy with the Arab Strap" was even used as the end credits song for the TV series, Teachers.
Isobel Campbell, the singer and cellist in the original lineup for Belle and Sebastian, eventually left the group in 2002 to pursue a solo career and moved to Los Angeles where she currently resides. She has collaborated with artists like Snow Patrol and Mark Lanegan, and has released several solo albums under different stage names.
Despite the label troubles she faced, Campbell continued to make music and released her latest album, "Bow To Love," in May 2021. The lead single, "4316," was released in February, and the album touches on themes of love, healing, and the current state of the world. Campbell explained that the title was inspired by a quote from A Course In Miracles, which states, "Love brings up everything unlike itself for the purpose of healing and release."
And while Campbell continues to make music and defy the aging process, she's not the only one. Other 90s stars like Whigfield and Gavin Rossdale have also amazed fans with their youthful looks. It just goes to show that good music and passion can keep us looking and feeling young at heart.
