Within twelve months another two albums were on the market, but again the public showed little interest in the young singer's unchallenging pop music. ... Her first album for the new company, Shirley Wong, released in November 2, 1989, featured synthesized pop dealing with love and loss. Within a year she released two other albums, Everything (June 1990) and You 're the Only One (December 1990), focusing on similar material. Thereafter Wong, disappointed at the lack of interest her music was creating, moved to New York"
