It reached the top 3 of the Electronic Album Chart on the iTunes Music Store. In 2007, her song "Ceylon" was featured on an episode of Damages.[citation needed]

In 2008, Madita released her second album, Too. Two years later, she issued Flavours, a nine-track album with five previously unreleased songs, and four remixed tracks. The record was part of a larger collection, titled Madita Deluxe, which includes most of the singer's songs.[5]
