Released in June 2005, the album was comprised of electronic, jazz and pop songs. It reached number eighty-eight on the UK Albums Chart and produced two singles.[3] Overpowered, her second album, was released in October 2007. Incorporating various musical styles such as electronic, disco and house, the album received positive reviews from music critics.[4] It reached the top twenty in the UK and produced three singles. In 2008, the album was shortlisted for the Choice Music Prize in Ireland.[5]
