Shortly after parting ways with EMI, Jay returned to his parents home in Abergavenny having seemingly decided to abandon the music industry. His father stated that he "had recently spent a few months living with us during an interruption to his chosen career. He had recently decided to return to his career and was reportedly writing well and preparing for a new album". Jay then moved to London to study for a Masters in Audio Production at the University of Westminster, and continued working on material for his second album. However, the work was not completed.
