Lucky Star was an Italian girl group that were created on the talent show Superstar Tour in 2003 (the second edition of Popstars in Italy).
The group consisted of three young girls: Laura Pisu, Emma Marrone and Colomba Pane. Their debut single "Stile" was presented at Italian Music Awards (IMA), the single was released on 19 December 2003 through Universal Music and reached the #24 in the Italian Singles Chart. After the first single the girls began recording their debut album. During the recording of the album, many misunderstandings and disagreements between the girls have began. Consequently, the group was dropped in 2004 and the album was cancelled.
In 2005 the girls have announced officially a surprising reunion of the group, saying they are now working on a total different project and on a new kind of music and they announced the upcoming release of their very first album through Universal Music. The group has recorded the soundtrack of the cartoon W.I.T.C.H, which aired on Italia 1 with great success. In May 2006 was finally released their debut album LS3, an English language album with 90s dance influence. The album consists of the W.I.T.C.H soundtrack, six dance stracks sung together, one solo song for each girl and a cover of Ace of Base's All That She Wants. The album has been a commercial failure due to poor promotion. The release of "Day To Come" as promotional single was then cancelled. The group broke up after few months after the album release.
