Wendy and Lisa - On Their Own

The next year, the duo released an album simply entitled Wendy And Lisa with Columbia Records. The lead single, "Waterfall" received some airplay, and the music video was played on MTV and VH1. The album was a moderate success, but did not approach the sales figures of The Revolution. The sound was a continuation of the pop/dance/R&B fusion that had been the hallmark of their work with Prince; many Prince fans that were more fond of his funkier music did not follow the duo's work. They released a follow up album, Fruit At the Bottom, which was not a commercial success.

After a few years, the duo signed with Virgin (already their label in Europe) and released Eroica, an album with a more alternative feel. They had a minor radio and dance club hit with the single "Strung Out". In 1991, Virgin UK released Re-mix-In-a-Carnation, a selection of club mixes from the first three albums as remixed by producers like The Orb, William Orbit, and Madonna producer Nellee Hooper.

In the mid-Nineties, Wendy and Lisa worked on several movie projects with producer Trevor Horn, best known for his work with Yes, including session work with Seal and vocals on the soundtrack for Toys and their first scoring work, for Dangerous Minds. During this period, they worked to record a full length album under Horn's production, however the project (sometimes mistakenly called Friendly Fire by fans and bootleggers) has never been released.
