Tempest's second solo album, "Azalea Place", was released in 1997. The next solo album was recorded in Nashville by producer Richard Dodd, known for producing artists such as The Travelling Wilburys and Tom Petty. Where "A Place To Call Home" had Tempest writing all the material, the new album was written together with others. Among these were Chris Difford from Squeeze and Will Jennings. ""Azalea Place" was mostly written in the studio and was therefore more improvised and experimental", Tempest commented on the production. "The Match", "The One In The Glass" and "If I'd Only Known" were released as singles. "The Match" became one of the most played songs on Swedish radio and the album achieved gold status.
