Context: Round Trip is the debut album by former TNT singer Tony Harnell, released on July 2, 2010, credited to Tony Harnell & The Mercury Train.  Although it is considered a solo album, Harnell says this is not his solo album but rather a project, while his debut solo album is yet to be released. Victim of Romance is singer and songwriter Michelle Phillips' first and only solo album, and was released in February 1977 (see 1977 in music).  The record was unsuccessful and Phillips (previously with The Mamas & the Papas) then favored her acting career.  The front cover photography was by Terry O'Neill.

This is the discography of Bethany Joy Lenz, an American singer documenting albums, singles and music videos released by Lenz.  Lenz released her first album at the age of 21, after her exit from the soap "Guiding Light".  She then experienced success with her second album produced by her friend Jeff Cohen and sold during the OTH tour in which she performed with some co-stars from "One Tree Hill".  Her third album, produced by Ron Aniello, never came to life due to changes behind the label Epic Records.  She then teamed up with her friend Amber Sweeney to create the duet Everly in 2008.  After three albums and four years of collaboration, the band split.  Soon after that, Lenz released her fourth solo album produced once again by her friend Ron Aniello, and sold during the "Rock the Schools" Concert.  A year later Jeff Cohen produced her fifth solo album which was sold to attendees of the One Tree Hill Convention "From Wilmington to Paris" and later 500 autographed first edition copies of the CD were sold on Etsy.  In 2015, she released a sneak peek EP of an upcoming album through Kickstarter but the hard copies promised to the backers were sent 2 years later, and the full album never came to life due to legal proceedings with the creator of the project.  She then teamed up with artists Daniel Shyman & Doo Crowder to release two songs for Christmas 2015.  And they went on tour during summer 2016 under the name of "Joy Lenz and the Fire pit Band". Omari Ishmael Grandberry (born November 12, 1984, known by his stage name Omarion) is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, actor and dancer.  He is best known as being the lead singer of the American R&B boy band B2K; the group achieved success with singles like "Bump, Bump, Bump", "Uh Huh", and "Girlfriend", which all reached success on the "Billboard" Hot 100.  After the group's disbandment, Omarion released his debut solo album, "O" (2005), which debuted atop the "Billboard" 200 and received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Album at the 48th Grammy Awards.  His second solo album, "21" (2006), contained his second highest-charting single to date, "Ice Box", which reached the top 20 on the "Billboard" Hot 100.  His third solo album, "Ollusion" (2010), was released on January 12, 2010, with the lead single, "I Get It In".  His fourth solo album, "Sex Playlist" (2014), spawned the single, "Post to Be", which was certified 3x platinum and reached number 13 on the Hot 100 chart in May 2015, and became his highest charting single to date. Cochin Moon (コチンの月 , Kochin no Tsuki ) is Haruomi Hosono's fifth solo album.  Initially intended as a collaboration with illustrator Tadanori Yokoo, who traveled to India alongside Hosono (as part of a group) for inspiration; Yokoo ended up only drawing the cover, having been the worst victim of an outburst of severe diarrhea amongst the group during the trip, rendering this as a Hosono solo album.  "Cochin Moon" was conceptually written as the soundtrack of a non-existent Bollywood film, a trait inspired by the artists' trip.  The album includes performances by Tin Pan Alley keyboardist Hiroshi Satō and Yellow Magic Orchestra members Ryuichi Sakamoto & Hideki Matsutake.  Despite being Hosono's first completely electronic solo album (at the time YMO's debut was still being recorded, making this Hosono's first electronic album to be released), the exotica feel of Hosono's previous solo work is still present.  The first half of the album (named after an Indian hotel that the group was in for the trip, a picture of the hotel's front appears in the back of the album's packaging) consists of three thematically themed songs, the second half of the album (and Hosono's keyboard performance) is credited to "Shuka Nishihara" (西原朱夏 ) , a pseudonym Hosono created as a play on Hakushū Kitahara's pseudonym.
