After a decade Luba return with a new self owned label and a new album. The first single “ Is She A lot Like Me”, becomes a Top Twenty radio hit the single and mainstay at Canadian radio throughout the year 2000, ending the year at the #19 position of the year-end BDS Canadian AC chart. The song is a take on love, loss and curiosity after the fact. Everyone can relate - and this thread of human experience weaves its way throughout the new album. "Being at the helm of my own label has afforded me artistic control and greater involvement in the day-to-day workings of the company," expresses Luba. "From the Bitter to the Sweet" marks a rite of passage for me. From conception through to the release, I have been involved in every stage."
