Her style of work, ever experimental and in seek of unique ways of expression, was tough on the wallet when using commercial studios. Musically, the most important contribution of the new house on her next album was a newly built recording studio.

A change was in order, and it took a three-pronged approach: new house, new studio, new dance teacher.
