Fever High is a Brooklyn-based duo composed of singer/instrumentalists Anna Nordeen and Reni Lane. The original formation of Fever High was composed of Nordeen and model/actress Leah Cary. Their five-track debut EP, All Work, was re-released in 2016 by Sire Records after being released independently in 2015. The band also included producer Adam Schlesinger. The group independently released their debut full-length FHNY on November 10, 2017.[1] Pop culture blog The Nerdist called their debut single, "Tantalized", "ideal dance music for the summer."[2] In 2020, former member Adam Schlesinger died of complications related to COVID-19.[3][4]

The original formation of Fever High included model, actress, and musician Leah Cary. Fever High took shape in the summer of 2013 at the studio of the band’s producer/member, Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne). “Leah and I would come over to Adam’s studio and sing on demo tracks he would be writing for various things. We would joke about the three of us starting a band,” Nordeen told Bedford + Bowery. “Next thing I know, we’re thinking up band names. Adam wrote a few songs to get us started and now we all collaborate.”
