Reed went into ministry in early 2004. She was soon replaced by singer/rapper Erica Pullins who performed with Blaque overseas. They recorded some new songs and re-recorded old ones with Pullins, but the album failed to be released. Fears, Williams, and Reed performed on several occasions in Germany and other countries.
