She released her first single, Come to Me for digital download in Sweden and in the United States on February 29, 2012. The single showed a new direction for Faye that was more mature and complex electropop than her previous work.

In late May 2012, Faye signed with Best Fit Records, a record label in the UK, under the new name "Faye" (previously Fanny). Her second single, Water Against The Rocks was released in the UK on June 25, 2012. The official music video for Water Against The Rocks premiered on May 28, 2012 on The Guardian's official website.

On 20th September 2012 Best Fit Recordings announced two new singles 'Mad Dog' and 'Breathe Out' stating: "Like previous single, the electro-ballad powerhouse ‘Water Against The Rocks’, both ‘Mad Dog’ and the forthcoming ‘Breathe Out’ were produced by Stockholm based production duo Montauk. Expect more soaring, euphoric vocals and solid, rousing beats a-plenty." they also announced five UK dates throughout October 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words solo and/or career:

    All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.
    Sally Placksin (20th century)

    What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.
    Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
