===Second album=== In 1991, American singer, composer, songwriter, and dancer Thea Austin joined SNAP!'s lineup and contributed to the writing of the song "[[Rhythm Is a Dancer]]". This track was initially intended to be the lead single from the group's second album but was postponed, resulting in "[[Colour of Love (Snap song)|Colour of Love]]" being released in its place. This single peaked at No. 9 in Germany but stalled at No. 54 in the UK.<ref name="UK's Singles/Albums Positions for Snap!"/><ref name="Germany's positions for Snap!"/> "Rhythm Is a Dancer", which sampled "Automan" by the early 1980s American electronic hip hop band [[Newcleus]], was eventually issued as the second single in July 1992.
