Solo Career
Gaines started recording her debut solo album. Several albums worth of material were recorded, and the album was set for release on Paisley Park Records. It was never released because of a legal battle between Prince and Warner Bros. Records.
Gaines eventually released her third album on Motown Records. It opened with "I Want U" and also includes "My Tender Heart" (composed by Gaines and Prince), which she performed on The Ryde Dyvine TV special in late 1992.
In 1995, Gaines released the album Closer Than Close. A remix single of the title song was released two years later. The song peaked at #4 in the UK Singles Chart, and became a club favorite. Also in 1995 Gaines collaborated with Tevin Campbell on the song "I2I" featured in the hit Disney movie A Goofy Movie.
With her own record label, Dredlix Records, Gaines strove to bring her music directly via the Internet. In 1997 she released an internet-only album, Arrival. Limited to 2,000 copies, it was available exclusively through her official website.
In 2003, she released her album You Gave Me Freedom through Dome Records in the UK. In 2005 Gaines provided her vocals for "Dance With Me" recorded by K-Klass and released on SUSU Records label in July 2005.
Gaines released her album, Welcome To My World, for SUSU Records in November 2006.

Famous quotes containing the words solo and/or career:
“All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
