Paradise was originally written in 1993 when John and Lillia were in a dance band called Nova (Sony Music Australia). Nova recorded 3 albums worth of material, but sadly only 2 singles ever saw the light of day.
This song would have been the 3rd single for Nova but the band disbanded after the release of Magic in 1995.
Lillia and I always wanted to release this song, so I'm so glad we finally got the chance for the public to hear it, and sung by Marcella Detroit no less!
