A new studio effort, Hotwire, emerged in 1992, but nothing else was forthcoming for the rest of the decade.

In March 2007 the band released their first studio effort Whale.

The next studio effort, Recent Discoveries, was recorded in 1993.

The album was Kansas's last studio effort for a major label.

The band soon returned with an eighth studio effort in 2002, Bounce.

Including 11 original songs, it is considered by many their best studio effort.

Reactions to Loyal Wife's first studio effort have been positive.

Also, it is the band's longest studio effort, at 72:52 minutes.

Carey's most recent studio effort at the time, Butterfly, also yielded two number one songs.

In December of the same year she was reunited with the same team that worked on her previous studio effort.
