Honey Lingers by Voice of the Beehive

Honey Lingers, the second album from Voice of the Beehive, came out on London Records in 1991, following Let It Bee, and it's every bit as sweet and sly as its title. The London band paired two Californian sisters, Tracey Bryn and Melissa Brooke Belland, daughters of the Four Preps' Bruce Belland, with British musicians including Mike Jones and two former members of Madness, Daniel Woodgate and Mark Bedford. Don Was produced, and he gives their bright, harmony-stacked guitar pop a glossy finish without wiping off the grin.

"Monsters and Angels" was the lead single and the band's first trip onto the Billboard Hot 100, and it made the top ten of the Modern Rock chart, while US college radio took the whole record to heart. There's a cheeky cover of the Partridge Family's "I Think I Love You" too, which became their biggest hit in Australia. In the UK the album reached No. 17 and went silver.
