Originally intended as a studio project, and prior to any assemblage of the aforementioned trio, the first track produced, "Seduction", featured vocals by Carol Cooper, and was released to dance clubs and became a top 20hit on the dance charts. The second single, " True Love" featured uncredited vocals by Martha Wash. Against its producers' expectations, it ended up becoming a hit. Envisioning a potential hit phenomenon, Cole and Clivillés set to the task of assembling a group of girls who displayed talent, sex appeal, and multi-format potential. Visage, DeLeon and Harris were assembled as a group to promote the single. The group quickly recorded the albumNothing MattersWithout Love and subsequent singles. Their biggest hit came in early 1990 with "Two to Make It Right", a No. 2 pop hit. The hit Music Video was created and produced by the production team of Director Stu Sleppin and Producer Bob Teeman. In mid–1990, DeLeon left the group and was replaced by Sinoa Loren. After a pair of hits with this lineup, the group disbanded in 1991. Harris owns the rights to the name Seduction and reassembled the group with two new members, Maria Flora and Eunice Quiñones,, and released an album of new material, Feel Brand New, through AVH Entertainment under the name Seduction in 2005.
