Jimmy Iovine, owner of Interscope Records, decided to create a new girl group after meeting French singer and former Star Academy yoga teacher Aria Crescendo, and together with Robin Antin, Martin Kierszenbaum and will.i.am, he auditioned over 500 girls in London, some of which had been noticed during The X Factor UK auditions. He cast six of them, including singer Lauren Bennett, singer/dancer Kelly Beckett, as well as rapper/singers Shar Mae Amor and Chelsea Grace Korka alongside Aria Crescendo. Each girl represented a different country with the group having no lead singer, unlike The Pussycat Dolls. After two years of production, the group finally released its first official single, 'Patron Tequila', featuring Eve and Lil' Jon, on iTunes in April 2009, and the song was intended as the lead single from their proposed debut album entitled 'Crazy Horse'. In June 2010, their second single, 'Who's My Bitch', was released digitally, but unlike the previous single, it performed poorly in the charts and the group did no promotions for the song. Following the poor performance of the second single, numerous rumours of disbandment began to circulate the internet after some band members began to remove the word "Paradiso" from their Twitter names, although member Shar Mae Amor stated in an interview on UStream that the group was preparing for a third single, while Lauren Bennett stated that the album was already finished and that the group were just waiting for their record label to set a release date. The fate of the group was then put into question when a brief disagreement broke out between band members Crescendo and Korka on Twitter, after Korka tweeted that the group was still together but each band member will be pursuing their own projects for the time being. A frustrated Crescendo then replied to her tweet by saying "why are you confusing the fans ????????? u know the troth Chealsea so stop pretending .......be truthful to ur hart for once". On 27 October 2010, Crescendo made an unofficial confirmation that the group had been dropped by Interscope Records, and she expressed her disappointment for the lack of promotion given to the band in return for their efforts over the last two years. She also confirmed that their highly anticipated debut album would no longer be released. No official track listing has ever surfaced, and the group apparently recorded over 50 songs in preparation for it, but enough of them have since surfaced to put together a pretty good approximation of the 'Crazy Horse' album, and so here it is.
