Her single "The Message" reached #20 on Billboard's Dance/Club Play chart and was a crossover pop hit as well, peaking at #75 on the Hot 100 singles chart. The dance mixes were produced by Mark Kinchen (aka MK). Another single, "State of Mind", remixed by Tommy Musto and Daniel Abraham (record producer), peaked at #16 on the Dance/Club Play chart. A third single "One Last Kiss" was released with some mid-tempo remixes called the "Cupid's Arrow" mixes, but it didn't fare well enough to chart.
