In early 1995, Hart recorded vocals for an Australian single, "Tingly", by Pop! released in November, which reached No. 92. Frente! has a track on a compilation album, "" (5 December 1995), a cover version of "Open Up Your Heart (and Let the Sunshine In)". During 1995, Frente! recorded their second album, "Shape", in Spain with Ted Niceley (Fugazi), David M. Allen (The Cure, Sisters of Mercy), Cameron McVey aka Booga Bear (Neneh Cherry) and the band producing. The first single, "Sit on My Hands", peaked at No. 66 in Australia in July 1996. The second single, "What's Come Over Me" peaked at No. 116 in Australia, and No. 77 in the UK. The album was issued in July 1996, peaking at No. 35 on the ARIA Albums Chart. McFarlane felt it was "more sophisticated and textured than its naive (yet still classy) predecessor". Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted the group "experiment with trancy instrumental overtones and languid trip-hop beats ... Certain melodic lines slip out of the pleasant mist while the album is playing, but nothing is memorable after the record is finished".
