Artist:Laissez Faire
Song:In Paradise
Album:The Best Freestyle Album in the Universe Vol. 1
Laissez Faire was a Freestyle girl group that should remind you of Expose. Maybe you have heard the 1992 single In Paradise and think it's a lost Expose song. But like Expose, Laissez Faire were from the Freestyle hotbed of Miami. In 1989, Metropolitan Records owner Joey Gold was looking for a girl group as the one he had on his roster split up. Jennifer Castle brought a friend from high school and she brought a friend. They were only identified as Jennifer, Marlo and Gina. In Paradise was their second single. And after it reached #65 on the Billboard Hot 100, Gold produced the album Hands Off. I suspect the song charted because it came with a sexy video and listeners may have thought it was a new Expose song. After subsequent singles went nowhere, that was the end of Laissez Faire. The album Hands Off is only available as a digital download. In Paradise is available on several various artists CDs. Jennifer went on to a modelling career. Laissez Faire reunited for Freestyle nostalgia shows. I don't think they are currently active. Here's the video for In Paradise by Laissez Faire.
