History

Formed in 2007, Scarlett Belle were originally a trio that consisted of Tamara Jaber, Reigan Derry and Hayley Aitken.[1][2] Radio presenter Kyle Sandilands, who was Jaber's manager at the time, helped in negotiating a record deal with US label Def Jam Recordings, which signed the group in 2007.[1] After signing with Def Jam, Scarlett Belle were based between Los Angeles and Sydney and began to work on their debut album with Ne-Yo, Snoop Dogg, JR Rotem, Nate Dogg and StarGate, as well as Australian producers Rudy Sandapa and Israel Cruz.[3] However, in 2008, Scarlett Belle were dropped from the label and Aitken left the group, leaving Derry and Jaber as a duo.[4]

Scarlett Belle later signed with Sony Music Australia,[5] and released their debut single "Closure" in June 2010.[6] The song served as the lead single from their self-titled debut album, which was originally scheduled for release on 3 September 2010, but changes in creative decisions led to the album being delayed.[2] Upon its release, "Closure" peaked at number 38 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[7] Scarlett Belle released their second single in August 2010, a cover of Cruz's 2009 song "Freak Tonight".[8] Featuring guest vocal appearances from Cruz and rapper Miracle, the song peaked at number 29 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[7] "Lover Boy" was released as their third and final single on 26 November 2010, but failed to impact the charts.[9]

In May 2011, Jaber announced in an interview with Australia's OK! magazine that Scarlett Belle had disbanded, and that she would be pursuing a solo career in the United States and the Middle East.[10] Jaber's manager, Mark Byrne, said there was no rift between Jaber and Derry, stating "they just wanted to go their separate ways" to "pursue their own careers".[11]
