Solo career

With the band in disarray and the recording contract unfulfilled, Interscope reluctantly allowed Linda Perry to make a solo CD while dropping the rest of the band. Interscope insisted on choosing the producer for the album, and the production team behind it was Bill Bottrell and members of the Tuesday Night Music Club, who had recently been so successful producing Sheryl Crow's debut.

Released in 1996, the CD, In Flight, was an atmospherically appealing work—moody, mellow and at times dark, far removed from the sound of 4 Non Blondes. This is a list of notable events in music that took place in the year 1996. In Flight is the first solo album by singer and producer Linda Perry, released in 1996 The release received critical acclaim but was a poor seller, perhaps because of Interscope's lack of promotion.
