Even though it came out of the horse's mouth, so to speak, I still don't believe that's the honest reason.
Her new songs haven't received significant airplay since "Rooms On Fire" back in '89, and airplay was already slowing down with "I Can't Wait" in '86... and that fact never stopped her from recording prior to this.

And, as far as sales go, 'TISL' sold three times as many copies as 'Street Angel'... so her solo career was definitely back on an upswing.
