Scarlett Belle was an Australian pop music duo established in 2007, initially formed as a trio consisting of Tamara Jaber, Reigan Derry, and Hayley Aitken. Following Aitken's exit in 2008, the remaining pair released their first single, "Closure", in June 2010, which entered the top forty on the ARIA Singles Chart. Their follow-up single, "Freak Tonight", climbed into the top thirty. The duo disbanded in 2011 to embark on individual solo ventures.
History
Established in 2007 as a trio with members Jaber, Derry, and Aitken, Scarlett Belle secured a contract with the American label Def Jam Recordings through Jaber’s manager Kyle Sandilands. The group divided their time between Sydney and Los Angeles while developing their debut album, collaborating with prominent producers such as Ne-Yo, Snoop Dogg, JR Rotem, Nate Dogg, and StarGate, along with Australian producers Rudy Sandapa and Israel Cruz. In 2008, after being released from Def Jam, Aitken departed, leaving Jaber and Derry to continue as a duo.
Afterward, Scarlett Belle signed with Sony Music Australia and launched their debut single "Closure" in June 2010 as the lead release from their self-titled album. The album’s initial September 2010 release was postponed due to creative revisions. "Closure" reached number 38 on the ARIA Singles Chart. Their next single, a rendition of Cruz’s "Freak Tonight" featuring both Cruz and rapper Miracle, peaked at number 29. The third single, "Lover Boy," issued in November 2010, failed to chart.
In May 2011, Jaber announced the group’s dissolution to concentrate on solo careers across the United States and the Middle East. Manager Mark Byrne clarified that no disputes influenced the split; both artists mutually decided to pursue solo paths.
