In 1998 she released two singles, "Next Time" and "Won’t Keep a Good Girl Down", both of which made the ARIA top 40. An album Real Life followed in September and reached #7 on the albums chart.[6] Real Life was subsequently released in USA in June 1998.[7] In 2000 she covered "Me Myself I" which was the lead song on the movie Me Myself I.[8] She released two more albums, Studio Sessions in 2001 and Heartbreak in 2005, then took a break from music. She later made her return, releasing a song "Extraordinary" in 2013[9] and followed it up the next year with an album of the same name.[10]
