In 1993, Sybil achieved her most successful hits in the UK charts with a cover of The Love I Lost and its follow up When I'm Good And Ready. The same year, she released two different albums: Doin' It Now! in North America (more soul/R&B) and Good 'N' Ready in Europe (more dance-pop). In 1997, she terminated her contract with Next Plateau with a greatest hits album and later that year released her last album to date, Still A Thrill, in Europe and Japan only.
