Seduction is an American female dance-pop, house and freestyle trio
from New York assembled and produced by Robert Clivillés and David
Cole (later of C+C Music Factory), originally consisting of members
April Harris, Michelle Visage, and Idalis DeLeón.Originally intended
as a studio project, and prior to any assemblage of the aforementioned
trio, the first track produced, "Seduction" (later renamed
"Seduction's Theme" on their album), featured vocals by Carol Cooper,
and was released to dance clubs and became a top 20 hit on the dance
charts. The second single, "(You're My One and Only) 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 album Nothing Matters Without
Love and subsequent singles. Their biggest hit came in early 1990 with
"Two to Make It Right" (featuring April and Michelle on Lead Vocals),
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
midâ€"1990, DeLeon left the group and was replaced by Sinoa Loren
(born December 6, 1966). 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, (Miss New York Latina 2006), and released an album of new
material, Feel Brand New, through AVH Entertainment (her own label)
under the name Seduction in 2005.
