G.R.L.

G.R.L. is an American girl group consisting of members Simone Battle, Lauren Bennett, Emmalyn Estrada, Natasha Slayton and Paula van Oppen. Formed by Robin Antin, they made their debut on the Smurfs 2 soundtrack with "Vacation," and would go on to feature on the internationally successful track "Wild Wild Love", with Pitbull. The song peaked #30 in the United States and #6 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.
