Based between Los Angeles and Sydney, Scarlett Belle have been working on their debut album with the likes of Ne-Yo, Snoop Dogg, JR Rotem (Britney Spears, Rihanna, Jason Derulo, 50 Cent), Nate Dogg and production team Stargate (Rihanna, Beyonce, Chris Brown), as well as acclaimed Australian producers Rudy and Israel.
Tamara came to our attention as a member of ARIA award winning pop group Scandal'us, scoring a top 20 solo single, and 1 dance single and Reigan too, came to attention on Australian TV.
Tamara and Reigan’s fates soon became intertwined.
"I saw Reigan singing on TV,” Tamara says, “and I was like 'wow, this girl is gorgeous, she’s amazing’. I called her randomly to come to Sydney and sing with me. Three years later, she still hadn’t moved out!”
Scarlett Belle’s debut is as seductive as the girls themselves, and saw them working with the biggest names in music.
It was a chance meeting with Snoop Dogg at the 2007 Good Vibrations festival in Sydney that set off this chain of events. "We sang for him and ended up recording with him in the studio the entire night. He was loving it and invited us to spend three months in America recording with him and Nate Dogg. We've had these surreal moments with these amazing people that you just dream of."
Snoop’s enthusiasm saw the duo in the midst of a record label bidding war.
"It happened really quickly. We sang for Clive Davis, we sang for L.A. Reid and we sang for Jimmy Iovine, all within the space of a day. They were just like 'My God, who are these people? Where are they from?' It was very surreal.”
Almost entirely co-written by Tamara and Reigan, the songs on the album showcase lyrically driven R&B, blending Tamara's strong sweetness with Reigan's soulful melodies.
"The album is pop, but there are so many harmonies. Some songs are dance infused," Reigan explains.
On one end of the spectrum it offers up loungey, sensual R&B with slow club beats and on the other, it's simply two pure voices encased in super catchy pop songs. Add in some female empowerment in the vein of Destiny’s Child and a little bit of heartbreak and you've got yourself the whole package: a perfectly crafted pop/R&B debut.
"At the end of the day Scarlett Belle is two girls exchanging stories and that's what I see the album as," Reigan explains. "It’s all these stories and it's a friendship where one is explaining it to the other."

What coulda gone wrong
Wish I had a clue, but I don't, I just don't
I just don't
Cause the candles almost burnt at the end
I'm left sitting in the dark again
But something else burnt out
That this fires gona keep burnin, burning, no
Sometimes we role the dice
And it don't really matter if it's wrong or right, no
But it's all just apart of life
You know I do what I do to survive
And it's over (it's over), it's over (it's over)
It's over (it's over)
This heartbreak is giving me closure (me closure)
Me closure (me closure) me closure (me closure)
I really hate to say that it's over
Ooooh oh-oh oooh ooow
And it's giving me closure
Ooooh oh-oh oooh ooow
So were going our separate ways
No I won't make the same mistake
You don't have to worry bout valentines day
My birthday or our anniversary
So I'm driving down the road, all alone
And I turn on the radio
It is playing our song
It went just like me and you
We had a start, and a middle, and an end
Sometimes we role the dice
And it don't really matter if it's wrong or right, no
But it's all just apart of life
You know I do what I do to survive
And it's over (it's over), it's over (it's over)
It's over (it's over)
This heartbreak is giving me closure (me closure)
Me closure (me closure) me closure (me closure)
I really hate to say that it's over (it's over)
It's over (it's over) It's over (it's over) It's over (it's over)
This heartbreak is giving me closure (me closure)
Me closure (me closure) me closure (me closure)
I really hate to say that it's over
Ooooh oh-oh oooh ooow
And it's giving me closure
Ooooh oh-oh oooh ooow
And I really hate to say that it's over
Ooooh
Oh, There's really nothing we can do oh,
I'm beautiful without you
Let it go, let it go, you know
Let it go, baby it's over
You know we do what we do to survive,
Do to survive
And it's over (it's over), it's over (it's over)
It's over (it's over)
This heartbreak is giving me closure (me closure)
Me closure (me closure) me closure (me closure)
I really hate to say that it's over (it's over)
It's over (it's over) It's over (it's over) It's over (it's over)
This heartbreak is giving me closure (me closure)
Me closure (me closure) me closure (me closure)
I really hate to say that it's over
Ooooh oh-oh oooh ooow
And it's giving me closure
Ooooh oh-oh oooh ooow
And I really hate to say that it's over
Ooooh
The song "Closure" by Scarlett Belle is a heartbreak song about moving on after a relationship has ended. The lyrics indicate that the singer is trying to make sense of the break-up and understand what went wrong. She acknowledges that she doesn't know what went wrong and there's nothing left to do but to move on. The candles almost burnt out and everything else burnt out, leaving the singer in darkness. However, the end of the relationship is giving her closure and she will no longer pretend that the fire will keep burning.
The second verse shows that the singer and her lover are going their separate ways, and she won't make the same mistake again. She won't worry about Valentine's Day, her birthday, or their anniversary anymore. The bridge of the song repeats the idea that people do what they can to survive, and the singer can't do anything but move on. Overall, the song is about accepting the end of a relationship, no matter how much it hurts, and moving forward with closure.

I was waiting up alone tryna add it up
I was sitting alone, trying to figure out what went wrong
What coulda gone wrong
What was the reason things ended
Wish I had a clue, but I don't, I just don't
I wish I knew why things ended, but I don't have an answer
Cause the candles almost burnt at the end
Our relationship was close to ending
I'm left sitting in the dark again
I'm left feeling lost and confused
But something else burnt out
Our love for each other faded away
And I don't need a pretend
I don't need to pretend that our love will continue
That this fires gona keep burnin, burning, no
Our love is not going to continue, there will not be a flame
Sometimes we role the dice
Sometimes we take chances
And it don't really matter if it's wrong or right, no
Sometimes we make mistakes, it doesn't matter if it was the right or wrong decision
But it's all just apart of life
Making mistakes is part of life
You know I do what I do to survive
I do what I need to do to keep going and move on
And it's over (it's over), it's over (it's over)
Our relationship has ended, it's done
This heartbreak is giving me closure (me closure)Me closure
The pain of the end of our relationship is allowing me to have closure, to move on
So were going our separate ways
We are both moving on alone
No I won't make the same mistake
I won't repeat the same mistakes I made in the past
You don't have to worry bout valentines dayMy birthday or our anniversary
You don't have to worry about celebrating those special days together
So I'm driving down the road, all alone
I'm driving alone without you in my life
And I turn on the radio
I turn the radio on for company
It is playing our song
The radio is playing a song that reminds me of our past love
We had a start, and a middle, and an end
Our relationship had a beginning, a middle, and an end
Oh, There's really nothing we can do oh,
There is nothing we can do to change the ending of our relationship
I'm beautiful without you
I'm strong enough to move on and be happy without you
Let it go, let it go, you know
It's time to let go and move on
It's over (it's over), it's over (it's over)
Our relationship has ended
This heartbreak is giving me closure (me closure)
