Wendy James embarked on a solo career, with limited commercial success. Her 1993 album "Now Ain't the Time for Your Tears", though written by Elvis Costello, only reached #43 on the UK albums chart. None of the three singles released from it entered the UK Top 30. The lead single, "The Nameless One", reached #34 on the UK singles chart, while the second single, "London's Brilliant", peaked at #62. Third single, "Do You Know What I'm Saying?", peaked at #78 in the UK. MCA and James parted company in August of that same year.
