Their stage name comes from selling soap handmade by their mother, to raise money for charity. The girls have dressed alike forever, and are born performers. When they were 12-13 years old they were singing and dancing in the street (surrounded, as always, by a crowd of onlookers), and were asked to record in a studio.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They told <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hypable.com\/2013\/12\/23\/the-soapgirls-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hypable<\/a>: &#8220;We developed our sound a few albums later, and we finally released one under a major label, and from there our official music journey began!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"page_object_bio_modal_content\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;Rolling Stones&#8221; is the latest song from the pair &#8211; it&#8217;s bassy and sassy, and a toe-tapper. You can imagine slow-dancing to it in a club, or listening to it on the radio while sitting on your verandah on a hot summer evening, drinking a long cool glass of something. On first listen, it&#8217;s a feel-good song, but it&#8217;s more than that. Check out the lyrics:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I dont need a fast train, a jet plane to get where I wanna go<br \/>\nI dont need nobody, somebody to tell me told you so<br \/>\nI got nothing , got everything my cup&#8217;s filled to the brim<br \/>\nEven when I&#8217;m falling, crawling, I know where I have been<br \/>\nAll I need is someone like me&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rolling Stones&#8221; is essentially a personal statement from the sisters &#8211; they&#8217;re strong women with drive and determination, and will get where they want to go.
