Blaxy Girls was a Romanianall-girlrock band fromConstanta, formed in 2007. The band consisted of lead singer Rucsandra Iliescu, Cristina Marinescu, Diana Ganea, Ana Maria Nanu and Gela Marinescu.[1]
The group's first single, "If You Feel My Love" quickly became very popular in Romania. Their second great hit was "Dear Mama". The clip was internationally released in the beginning of March, as a present for the women and mothers all around the world. The first album of the group was released in December 2008.[2] The album included a bonus track "If You Feel My Love (Chaow Mix)", a remixed version of the lead single which features a sample of a classic Beijing opera aboutChen Shimei and Qin Xianglian. This version of the song became a famousInternet meme in 2020 after it was paired with a scene from an episode ofTom and Jerry, whereTom sits on a spinning phonograph looking like a caricature of a Chinese person.
