Delage was a British girl group, with four members (named Emma, Frances, Rhonda and Karena) promoted by the record producers, Stock Aitken Waterman. The initial promo pressings of their first single carried the group name "Dazzle", but it was later changed to "Delage".

Their first single issued in December 1990, was a cover of The Hues Corporation hit, "Rock the Boat", backed with the Stock Aitken Waterman penned, "I Wanna Be Your Everything". It reached No. 63 in the UK Singles Chart.[1] A follow up was issued in October 1991, called "Running Back For More", backed with "I Wanna Shout About It", which were both written by Stock Aitken Waterman.

Delage recorded one more song with Stock Aitken Waterman, "Ain't No Cure", (a cover of a Bananarama song) which was not released at the time. A 12" version of "Ain't No Cure" was released in 1997, on the Australian only compilation album, 12 Inch Classics Volume 3 – The Hit Factory. In August 2009, several tracks and remixes of the group were made available on iTunes in the UK, including the unreleased 7" version of "Ain't No Cure", amongst others.

The following year, the group changed their name to Eden, and released two further singles, "Can This Be Love" (produced by Bruce Forest) and "Keep On Pushing Our Love", to little success.
