就像新好男孩BSB和超级男孩Nsync一样,虽然发迹自德国继而红遍全欧洲,但Sweetbox却是个不折不扣的美国团体,不同的是,Sweetbox主打的是轻快的古典加上东方元素的舞曲进而红遍全球。而这特殊的音乐风格也让他们从1998年起打进美国市场,2003年红遍日本,而近年一路征服S.H.E甚至东洋巨星的心。当然还有国际企业们,如兰蔻“O Oui”香水,Sony的PS2与SUBARU汽车都争先抢用他们的音乐。当然这个乐团12年光景内,任用了5任女主唱,新任主唱Jamie更打破历年主唱年龄记录只有19岁!也成为乐坛茶余饭后的八卦话题。而这张“Rare Tracks”甜蜜22精选,以世界初收录曲+未发表版本的超级企划盘,不但是专门为Sweetbox迷们准备的精致大礼,也让歌迷见证了 Sweetbox的热潮在亚洲各个国家的深入人心,绝非一般西洋团体可比拟的!
