Clear Horizon: The Best of Basia followed in 1998 and proved to be her only release for several years, as the deaths of her mother and several close friends temporarily sapped Basia's drive to make music. Urged by her former bandmates Danny White and Mark Reilly to join the reunited Matt Bianco, however, she eventually returned to music in 2004 and issued Matt's Mood with the band. Basia then returned her focus to her solo career, releasing It's That Girl Again with White's help in early 2009. As a comeback album, it proved to be a success, reaching the Top Ten on the U.S. jazz charts and going platinum back home in Poland.
Basia returned in 2011 with From Newport to London: Greatest Hits Live... and More, a live collection captured in Lódz, Poland that also featured a handful of new studio recordings, including an acoustic version of her 2009 track "There's a Tear." Following another somewhat lengthy hiatus, she reunited with White to record 2018's Butterflies, her fifth studio album. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
