Huge artists who just disappeared?
The Alanis Morisette (sp?) thread got me thinking about artists who have just disappeared. I remember Dido was huge at one point and then she just disappeared and never came back. Duffy is another. Can you think of any?

Well, in addition to Alanis Morissette, Dido and Duffy, I'd say James Blunt, Norah Jones, Shania Twain, maybe KT Tunstall too. Does Lauren Hill qualify?
All on different levels of course, and some have had consistent but understated success following their peak, but they all disappeared/saw drastic decrease in interest and exposure. |

Well, Justin Timberlake peaked, then did a couple of collaborations and then disappeared completely.
I think Joss Stone was pretty big after her 2nd album and then it all kind of fell flat, but I'm not sure. And I wasn't born back then, but I think Toni Braxton went from global superstar to irrelevant B-lister in a matter of months. Also what about Corinne Bailey Rae? Her 2nd album sold moderately well and she even got a Mercury nomination, but there's not any buzz about her right now. |

Echobelly were superb! They are now 'Calm of Zero'....
Glenn the band's guitarist / songwriter plays guitar on a track from new north yorkshire band The Conspirators - it's called 'Jekyll & Hyde' and is quite catchy! Also Dodgy are now back together and have a new album out v v soon!! Louise Wener is an author now. I like me britpop!! |

I actually liked KT Tunstall's last album, Lost is a very good song
![]() Debbie Harry did a disappearing act in the 80s after Blondie split up to look after her husband & bandmate Chris Stein, who was very ill at the time. She resumed her solo career in '86 to moderate success and reformed with Blondie in the mid 90s, they've been a popular live act ever since. I doubt Kate Nash will ever be as successful commercially as she was in 2007 again, but she's good live so I think she will still maintain a fan-base and have a successful career. |

Record labels are always looking for the next new thing... once an artist has been out there and done it, and the hiatus finishes, it is very difficult for an artist to go back into the limelight. To keep being current...
Tough industry... |
