Following her work with Prince, she moved to London, England and signed with Red Dot Records, a subsidiary of Warner Brothers' WEA International. She released an EP titled Catwoman (1989), produced and mixed by Tim Simenon of Bomb the Bass. The B-Side to 'Catwoman' was a song called 'Now it Rains', which Glover stated she had written about Prince. Glover also recorded a full-length album, titled I Am Energy, that was ultimately not released. Glover cited issues with a conflict of interest between her manager, Steve Fargnoli, who also owned Red Dot Records, as contributing to the album not being released by Warner Bros or WEA International.
