She also sang on the track "This Island Earth" on the Coldcut album Sound Mirrors. In her latest single "Box N Locks" she is the first person to be given permission from the Canadian group Martha and the Muffins to use samples from "Echo Beach", somewhat of a rare occurance considering the ease of obtaining permission for the use of samples in the music industry today. She has signed a five-album deal with EMI/Parlophone.
