Woman In Me (1997) Elbow Beach (2000) Changing Faces - The Best Of... (2001)

After the success of the album 'Woman In Me', Louise spent most of 1999 out of the public eye, as she married long-time boyfriend Jamie Redknapp. After the honeymoon, Louise spent just under a year making what she claimed was her most personal album to date. Titled 'Elbow Beach', the location of her honeymoon, the album served as a snapshot of Louise's life at that point. Creatively Louise was more involved in the process of this album than her previous two, co-writing all 12 tracks and co-producing most of them.

In 2000 all looked ready for Louise to take over the UK charts again. The lead single from 'Elbow Beach', the RnB '2 Faced' went straight into the charts at number 3, and became Louise's highest charting single. Despite the hype and receiving critical praise, total sales for 'Elbow Beach' were weaker than the previous two productions, and the album peaked at number 12. To help push the album the critics’ favourite track, the dance/pop track 'Beautiful Inside', was released. While the single received a lot of airplay on radio and rotation on TV it charted at number 13
