Karma-Ann Swanepoel disbanded Henry Ate in 1998 following a change in record companies. That band's 1997 release Slap in the Face had been one of the biggest South African releases of the late 1990s, but Swanepoel decided to drop the band's name to reflect the fact that their releases were, by and large, her solo work. Retaining only guitarist Julian Sun from the Henry Ate line-up, Karma recorded and released her second album, and first solo album proper, in 1998. Entitled One Day Soon, the album was a South African success, thanks largely to the title track. ~ Jonathan Lewis, All Music Guide
