Contents

Despite considerable promotion and featuring a re-recording of her best known song, "Stay with Me till Dawn", the album failed to chart. It was the last of Tzuke's albums to be released by a major record label. Her next album, Wonderland , was released on an independent label, and all subsequent albums have been released on her own home label, Big Moon Records. [1] [2]
