1990s
In 1993, Mann released Whatever, her debut solo album, which sold modestly but met with critical praise. In 1995, Mann released I'm with Stupid, her sophomore album, through Geffen Records which, like her debut, garnered positive reviews but modest commercial success.
In 1997, Mann married songwriter Michael Penn (brother of actors Sean Penn and Chris Penn), whom she met in the 1980s and courted while she was recording her previous album.
In 1999, Mann recorded original material for the soundtrack to the Paul Thomas Anderson film, Magnolia, which earned both Academy Award and Grammy Award nominations for the song "Save Me". Also that year, she negotiated a contract release from David Geffen, and founded her own label, SuperEgo Records.
