Sarah Cracknell - ready or not, 1997

"When bandmates Pete Wiggs and Bob Stanley took time out in 1996 to set up their own label, Cracknell took the opportunity to record her solo debut Lipslide (which came out in Britain in 1997, albeit with slightly different tracks). As Cracknell commented in an interview in the English press, this project was in part motivated by being tired of "people assuming that I was just a frontperson for Bob and Pete, that I was a puppet, that I didn't do any of the real work."
