EP, Interruption, Comeback, Broken Doll & Odds & Ends
On May 11, 2007, the first indication of Nalick writing her second album appeared on her website. Few updates were given after that. The only other song to be released during this "era" was a track on the Desperate Housewives compilation CD entitled "Band of Gold".
On January 28, 2008, Nalick premiered her first single off the new album, "Shine", on AOL music's page. The EP "Shine" was released March 25, 2008. It featured the title single, a cover of Red Hot Chili Peppers' song "Breaking the Girl", and acoustic renditions of Nalick's best-known tracks.
On July 12, 2008, it was reported that Broken Doll was to be the title of Nalick's second album. The album was originally scheduled for release in the summer of 2008; however, a falling-out with Epic Records resulted in the album being scrapped. Little was heard from Nalick until the summer of 2010.
In August 2010, Nalick made a comeback announcement on her Facebook profile, accompanied by new photographs revealing a bold new look; it was revealed that she had left Sony in 2009 to be a free agent. She is currently independently making a record with producer Nathan Chapman (Taylor Swift, Jewel), with an expected release date in 2011. On August 25, 2010, Nalick premiered a new song, "The Lullaby Singer", on her official website. Nalick held five live performances - Hotel Café in Hollywood, California, for August 31, September 21, September 28, and October 5, 2010, and 3rd & Lindsley in Nashville, Tennessee, for September 9, 2010 - to accompany the comeback announcement.
Nalick continues to announce new shows and further developments of her new album, via her Facebook and Twitter feeds. She previewed two additional songs on her website as well: "Words" in November 2010, and "Break Me Open" on January 5, 2011. Nalick expects to have this album out in Spring 2012.
To make up for lost time, Nalick is set to release two albums in 2011. The first is a semi-acoustic album featuring some new songs, revisited tracks from her debut and unreleased "Broken Doll" album, and covers. Later in the year, her fully produced album of brand new material, featuring songs like "The Lullaby Singer", "Break Me Open", "Words", and "Walk Away" will be released.
On 2 March 2011, Nalick announced on her Facebook page the official name for the first upcoming album: Broken Doll & Odds & Ends, a little variation from the one she announced before. It had been set for release in May 2011, but several unforeseen difficulties resulted in delays. Broken Doll & Odds & Ends was released on iTunes on 5 June 2011, with physical CD release happening at her Hotel Café show on 3 August 2011.
Nalick performed on Good Day Sacramento, singing "Walk Away" in honor of the people who died in 9/11.
