SUPREME BEINGS OF LEISURE
WHERE YOU'VE HEARD THEM Their soothing trip-hop single ''Never the Same'' injects life into a new JCPenney TV spot. WHY YOU SHOULD CARE This L.A.-based band built an early cult following through their fan-friendly website (www.sbleisure.com), where singer Geri Soriano-Lightwood, 34, personally answers e-mails. The buzz was loud enough: Their eponymous album on Palm records is No. 17 on SoundScan's electronic albums chart, and their laid-back songs -- think Erykah Badu meets Morcheeba -- were played on The WB's Grosse Pointe and Angel. DO THEY ACTUALLY SHOP AT JCPENNEY? Soriano-Lightwood remembers those dreaded shopping days with Mom -- although, because she's from Chicago, ''I spent more time at Marshall Field's.'' WHAT'S NEXT Touring Down Under with Aussie singer Christine Anu, and creating what Soriano-Lightwood calls '''70s-style disco'' for a new album.
