Their cover of Melissa Etheridge's Like the Way I Do, taped at a party, fetched up in the just started record company Double T, and they offered Sarah a solo-contract. Sarah hesitated, but Gert insisted that she accepted it. The first single, a cover of Hank Williams' I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, recorded for the Belgian film Vrouwen Willen Trouwen, reached the Top-5 in Belgium. A duet with Scottish singer Frankie Miller, Ry Cooder-composition Why Don't You Try Me this time, became a hit. A golden future as a solo-artist lied ahead, but it went way too fast for Sarah; She wanted to make music together with Gert. Initially the record company was very sceptical, but when Sarah and Gert played something acoustic, they were convinced.
K's Choice was born, although the duo called themselves The Choice at first. With this name they recorded their debut album The Great Subconscious Club, together with producer Jean Blaute. A folky pop record, which became a success in Belgium and which led to a worldwide contract at Epic/Sony. The record was released also in the United States and became such a success that not one, but even two American bands called The Choice claimed the rights on the name. This fact didn't keep them from touring in the United States together with the Indigo Girls, in the meantime Sarah's favourite singers. During that tour The Choice plays in front of a 10,000 people audience.
After this, The Choice changed their name into K's Choice. The K stands for Josef K, a character from Franz Kafka's book The Trial. An ironic joke, because Josef K, as a victim of the political system, wasn't able to make his own choices, while Sarah and Gert are.
In 1995 they recorded, together with producer Jean Blaute again, their second album Paradise in Me. This album sounds harder, more modern and more guitar oriented than The Great Subconscious Club. The single Not an Addict became a huge hit almost everywhere in Europe, and the sales of the album are rising and rising because of that. Nevertheless K's Choice had to get over a disappointment recently when Epic told them that Paradise in Me won't be released in America because there are too much guitars on it. Epic's marketing strategy was completely focused on another album for the Suzanne Vega- audience, so their changed course surprised Epic unpleasantly. K's Choice will still try to release their second album at an other record company in the United States. In February 1996 Philippe left the band, and the bass guitar was then played by Dave Foster from London.
After the success of K's Choice at the Pinkpop Festival in Holland, where Alanis Morissette also performed, Alanis, at that time really popular with her Jagged Little Pill album, asked the band to be her support act during her American tour. Of course K's Choice took this opportunity, and they were very successful during this tour. This resulted in the long expected release of Paradise in Me in the United States.
After K's Choice returned to Europe, they toured across Germany, France, The Netherlands, Belgium and other European countries, almost always in sold out venues. In the meantime Dave was thrown out of the band and was replaced by Vincent Pierins. With him they toured in Australia and America, but during this tour Vincent was replaced by Eric Grossman from the United States. After this tour K's Choice played and some festivals in Europe, with the huge Roskilde Festival in Danmark as the highlight. In July the band started their Spring tour in the USA, as the support act for The Verve Pipe, together with the second support act Tonic.
The band's next release was the album Cocoon Crash, It was created with the help of top producer Gil Norton, who worked with bands like the Pixies, Foo Fighters and Counting Crows earlier.
After several singles were released they introduced two CDs mostly for the fans: 2,000 Seconds Live and Extra Cocoon.
K's Choice then went on to supply the song, Virgin State of Mind, for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Soundtrack.
The newest release, Almost Happy, hit stores across Europe on September 25th of 2000. The first single released was Almost Happy followed by Busy and now Another Year. Another exclusive WFP CD was released with this album also. It was called Home.
In the Fall of 2002, K's Choice announced an offical break. The members will be pursuing individual music careers for now. The group released a DVD and CD set entitled "10" to mark 10 years of K's Choice. A new single "Losing You" was release off this CD.
