Album Review: G.R.L - G.R.L
"If you can manage to listen to it from start to finish without cringing then all power to you!"
G.R.L.
G.R.L. is an American girl group formed by Robin Antin. The group consists of members Lauren Bennett, Natasha Slayton, and Emmalyn Estrada.
The original line-up consisted of Bennett, Slayton, Estrada, Paula van Oppen, and Simone Battle. They made their debut appearance on the Smurfs 2 soundtrack with "Vacation". They would go on to appear on Pitbull's internationally successful track "Wild Wild Love", which peaked in the top 40 in the United States and top 10 in the United Kingdom, and was certified platinum by Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Their second single "Ugly Heart" gained international success shortly after the suicide of member Simone Battle. Leaving the group as a quartet, this inspired the group to release their next single "Lighthouse" in memory of Battle. The group disbanded shortly after its release, on June 2, 2015.
G.R.L. officially reformed on August 5, 2016, with the addition of new member Jazzy Mejia alongside Bennett and Slayton.
In October 2020, the group's original line-up briefly reformed to record new music before van Oppen announced her departure from the group in December of the same year, thus leaving the group a trio for the second time before they went on an indefinite hiatus.
