] album Superhighways, also featured Melanie Williams on some tracks as a guest vocalist. Williams launched a solo career in 1994, signed to Columbia records. The style was soul/dance.

Next, her first ballad was unveiled on the public: "Not Enough?". The single received good reviews and promotions, yet it became her biggest flop, managing only a #65 chart placing.

Early in 1995, Melanie Williams returned to the UK Top 40 with her cover of "You Are Everything" (duet with Joe Roberts). The song reached #28. Another single from "Human Cradle" was scheduled: the sorrowful "Terrified".
