Rebecca Skingley, better known as Colour Girl, is a British singer.

She appeared on several house and garage records in the 1990s into the 2000s, and scored several hits on the UK Singles Chart, including "Can't Get Used to Losing You" and the UK garage anthem "Joyrider".^[1] Her debut album, Special, was released in 1999 on 4 Liberty Records Ltd.

The single "Joyrider" was first released in 1999 and reached a peak of #95, but a re-release the following year, retitled "Joyrider (You're Playing with Fire)", charted higher at #51. 2001's "Mas Que Nada" contains samples of the Sérgio Mendes version of "Mas que Nada".

In 2001, two tracks were released under the alias 'Blond'; "If I Was Your Girl" and a cover of Blondie's "Heart of Glass", both produced by Sovereign (Nigel Doyle).^[2] In the May 26, 2001 issue of Billboard magazine, it mentions: "With 2-step slowly but surely making inroads into the U.S. (thanks to acts like MJ Cole and Artful Dodger), the timing may be just right for a wide-awake A&R exec to sign Colour Girl to a U.S. deal."^[3]
