Background
Scarlett has co-written some of the most influentional pop songs of the past ten years, including Girls Aloud's Sound of the Underground and Hole in the Head by Sugababes.
In 2004, she released 'Looking For A Place' with Giselle Sommerville, as part of a duo Mania. An album, 'Do You Know Your Daughter's On The Roof,' was planned, but never saw the light of day, mainly because of the dismal reception to Looking For A Place. On the back sleeve of their album sampler, British music magazine NME describe their music as "state of the art R&B from the new Sugababes".
The song 'Is Anybody Listening?' can be accessed via Niara's MySpace profile.1
Scarlett has a writing credit on the debut solo single by Mutya Buena. Scarlett is credited alongside Matt Ward and Dean Gillard on 'Real Girl,' which heavily samples the Lenny Kravitz song 'It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over.'
Guest appearances and miscellaneous
She appeared on 'Swords in the Dirt' in 2001 alongside Fallacy, Rodney P, Blackitude, Big P and Skeme. The song was featured on the album Run Come Save Me by British rapper Roots Manuva.2 In 2003, she sang 'Who's my Baby' on the album 'Something Dangerous' with Natacha Atlas. In April 2006, she featured on the single The Edge with British rapper and Grime artist Akala, whereby she was credited as simply Niara.3 The video received moderate rotation on MTV Base but the song failed to become a commercial success.
