i was 21 in 2008 and at the time i discovered this band many years after their time but ummediatly fall in love with their music and Saffron, nice to see her how is today
I met with Republica in ~ 99-2000 years on local TV by chance, there was showing a clip with them. It was not popular group in Kazakhstan, but I still remember theirs "From the rush our with love." Last year I found their all hits on Apple music and these are my favourite songs in my playlist.
@immgennaro I've seen that one as well. I'd like to see a full-fledged doc, with unseen footage and interviews from all the bandmates, especially from members of the original lineup from the first album.
Cool video. I really love Republica and their music. The synths, the driving guitar, top notch song writing, and Saffrons incredible voice and hypnotic stage presence, they were and still are a great band. I wish they had more albums though, every song they've written is a banger, they don't put out throw away tunes.
YES!!!!! ‘97 was fantastic, the 90s were period. no doubt, republica, SP, 311, beastie boys… on and on i can go. i absolutely adored and adore most 90s music
Like Republica? Check out the 90s band Curve, they helped create the template that REPUBLICA adopted years earlier with their work from. 91-93 plus an Lp in 1998.
Ohhh nooooo, when were they in Nashville!?! I lived there at the time. Man that would have been epic. I liked their interviews, Fashionably Loud, and of course the Scream version video! Fan for life!
I turned 16 in ‘97. That year I got my driver’s license,and my first job at Burger King. I had an enormous crush on Maureen O’Boyle from the show “Extra” at the time.
Why did you guys do only so many tracks? I could see in Saffron's eyes, all she ever wanted to do was sing and perform. Please do some more, possibly independently cause the music industry sucks.
I love this song, but I don't understand the emphasis on how 'everything changed in 1997". Actually everything changed more monumentally a few years earlier with the 90s music explosion.
Pop music was on the wane sort of between mid 94 to 97. Grunge had pretty much been homogenised. Hip Hop/RnB was transitioning. Brit Pop was hanging in there. There dark horse to emerge was the electronic scene that had been going for years. House. Drum and Bass. Techno. Somehow electronica got pushed forward to mainstream and with rock still lingering it made sense to combine the two.

Absolutely great memories as a student living in Leeds. I loved my Republica cd, blasted it out every weekend 🎉

So nostalgic! I've been in such a 90s mood lately too
Me too.
Got times

I'd love to see a documentary done on Republica.
I just came here from a video on them by rock and roll true stories.

Yes ‼️ it's been long overdue
Thank you, Saffron, for giving my youth a soundtrack.

This was a nightlife anthem for me for many years. The track was stuck on repeat.
Its worthy of such play. It totally has that 90's sound. Brings me right back. Gettin' old
She sounds good live. I'm happy to hear real vocals!
Saffron.. beautiful inside and out ❤️
i didn't know british women were so beautiful and saffron is the most beautiful of them all
I think Saffron is still really attractive!

Saffron’s hair ran so Knives Chau’s hair could walk

Damn, old footages and the lighting, colors, all look lively
Absolutely beautiful!
Bloody Awesome!!!! Republica are top!

I love Republica so much!!! i was even named after Saffron :)))
I saw Republica at the Robin 2 in Bilston back in June. Great night.
I turned 16 in ‘97. That year I got my driver’s license,and my first job at Burger King. I had an enormous crush on Maureen O’Boyle from the show “Extra” at the time.
You're the same age as me. It's actually my birthday today. Getting older sure does suck.
@@Laidengizer011 Happy Birthday. My birthday is tomorrow, July 19th.
@@Lanae8199 Oh wow, that's really coincidental. Also, my mom's name is Marie.
Awesome!
Saffron is 6 months older then me.And the Republica is back again in 2024.
Literally!
I remember the first time I ever saw her thinking Saffron was the sexiest woman I had ever seen since Deborah Harry...Still do.
Came in a dream - automatic writing! Hello love!
1997 was a GREAT ... I mean EXCELLENT year.
im gen z and i just discovered them and im obsessed

Yeah ... the record company crashes RUINED great music.
I want a time machine
Unfortunately the video was wrecked by seeing Tony Blair’s face
Started with an idea!
Saffron, cutie!
oh English have invaded my mind and conquered my heart
take all my territory😍🤗🤗
She's Nigerian-Chinese!

Bother great English band!
1920's Bob hairdo, what a turn on!
I love Saffron! But c'mon doesn't the rest of Republica get any credit at all for the first rate music and production?!
Saffron becomes more chinese as she grows.
Brit shows stopped requiring them to lip sync to their own music.
Always made my head turn this girl. 👌
After the amazing 80's and early 90's music came a terrible music era and it's still there 30 years later.
Great days but Labour won the election that year and Britain has gone downhill ever since.
She did not age well.
She didn't age poorly. She just got older like all of us.
She was fine af back then, but I agree lol.
She was ageing finely and normally in 1997 and still is, check out N-Joi 'Anthem' in the early 90s
