EMOSIA's hot streak as an internationally-sought producer/writer continued when British superstars ETERNAL released "TALK ABOUT IT," (written by Emosia, Cathy Liggett and Mike Lorello; produced by Emosia and Peter Mokran). Eternal has sold almost three million records for EMI in the UK alone, making them one of the biggest-selling female groups in UK history.

LAURA LOVE recorded her second album for Mercury Records, Shum Ticky, her follow-up to her 1997 recording Octoroon (which reached the #1 spot on noncommercial radio). Named "one of the best albums of the year," Shum Ticky takes the listener on an adventure by one of the "most listenable" artists in music today. Take a listen to "MAHBOOTAY" and "LESS IS MORE" to see why Dan Aquilante of the New York Post called Laura "the most original female singer to make music since righteous babe Ani DiFranco."

LaKiesha Berri's Hollywood Records release "THE FREAKY THINGS was used twice in Brian De Palma's film Snake Eyes (starring Nicolas Cage and Gary Sinise).

"Like This And Like That" was produced by Emosia and co-written by Emosia and Michael Lorello.
