She would go on to release several more singles before largely retiring from the music scene in 2000.
In 2006, Emjay returned with the release of the single "Real High", which was a collaboration with an Amsterdam DJ of the same name, DJ Emjay. After the single, she then retired from the music scene once more. In 2018, after 12 years away, Emjay made her third return, this time announcing that she was in the works of releasing new material. In 2019, she released "Living My Life", which was her first solo release since 1999, and she remains active in the electronica scene today. « hide |
