Hawke also directed a rare one-take video of "Stay" with no edits. When her song hit number one, Loeb earned the distinction of being the only artist to top the Hot before being signed to any record label. The single reached Gold status on July 12, , just over three months after its official release date. Critics were also favorable to the album, with Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly, in particular, noting that "Loeb has an undeniable gift for creating an air of intimacy and vulnerability, which may well be enough for "Stay" fans looking for additional doses of contemplative melancholy.
At this point, Loeb started going under her own name for the albums instead of using the band name, although she still continued to tour worldwide with Nine Stories and acoustically as she had done from the start. Firecracker included hit singles such as "I Do," which received radio success, peaking at 17 on the Billboard Hot and music television.
The album was certified Gold on June 10, Other international work includes Loeb's guest performance on the song "Anti-Hero" for an all-female Japanese musical group Rin''s album Inland Sea. Though Reality Bites was the first, Loeb's music has been featured in additional soundtracks. The popular single "How" was included on the soundtracks for films Twister and Jack Frost, and was heard in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Homecoming.
It peaked at on the Billboard Charts. In mid, Loeb inked a deal with Artemis Records, a new boutique label run by record company veterans Danny Goldberg and Daniel Glass, after Interscope allowed her to buy the rights to her masters. Artemis had offered to re-release the record with more promotion. With new artwork, some songs added and some removed, Cake and Pie was re-launched as Hello Lisa, a play on Sanrio's signature Hello Kitty, who appears on the album cover wearing Lisa Loeb's trademark glasses.
She released an EP with just the new songs on it, as well as an alternate version of the song "Underdog" for fans who'd already purchased the Cake and Pie CD. She also co-directed a video with Dweezil for "Underdog" co-starring Hello Kitty playing guitar. Stephen Erlewine called it "the best, most cohesive record she's made, a clean, crisp collection of well-crafted, gentle tunes that slowly, surely work into the subconscious.
Loeb was a judge for the 1st and 8th annual Independent Music Awards to support independent artists. In , she released her Purple Tape album remixed and remastered on a double CD. It included an interview by Andy Denemark, highlighting the creative process behind each song. There were also extensive liner notes and photos documenting her early history in NYC. Loeb tours with and without her band, recently touring with Daru Oda and Adam Levy.
In , Loeb contributed to the album A World of Happiness, designed to disseminate messages of kindness, compassion, tolerance, and self-reliance to children of all ages. As Loeb spent many summers of her childhood at summer camp,Camp Lisa is inspired by her camp memories as well as '70s-style rock and pop.
In July she debuted her children's musical Camp Kappawanna, which is based on the songs from Camp Lisa. In , The Camp Lisa Foundation provided funding for many camp scholarships, enabling economically disadvantaged children to attend ACA accredited overnight camps.
The book was published on Sterling Publishing, and also includes activities, choreography, and recipes. The book is published with an included CD, with four original songs and six classics. The series showed the two musicians touring the country together and sampling unique and diverse dishes. In the opening for each episode Loeb announced she was a vegetarian who enjoyed eating an occasional piece of bacon. When Loeb turned in the full-length followup to "Tails," she says, the label sent her back to write a hit.
And she responded with "I Do," a hit about the label telling her they didn't hear a hit. One thing that song has in common with her breakthrough, Loeb says, is that it's completely earnest. Loeb's career took an interesting turn in when she released her first of several children's albums, "Catch the Moon," which found her reuniting with her pre-fame singing partner, Elizabeth Mitchell of Liz and Lisa.
And the kind of record I wanted to make was real authentic music for all people and she really helped me to capture that. In , she released an album called "Lullaby Girl" that took the idea of making children's records grown-ups could enjoy in an intriguing new direction, an album of "lullabies" that range from "Dream a Little Dream" to "Be My Baby" and "Tomorrow.
So we sort of took that concept to the lullaby record. It really could be in the standards bin at the record store more than with the children's records, I think.
It was just music for people. Sometimes we don't associate as much with the eras that we're known for or whatever. But after a while, I realized that it could be fun to write about the '90s that I'm associated with. My own songs, MTV. I really wrote about my own experience, making that music. And also respecting that I know I'm very nostalgic for music I grew up with and I understand that people are nostalgic for music that I wrote that they listened to when they were growing up.
So I wanted to write a song that appreciates it but still making the statement that I'm moving forward. I don't forget the past. I hang onto the past.
But I also like to move forward at the same time. Loeb was 6 or 7 when she started writing songs on her piano, switching to guitar in high school.
I was in a dorm room and people would come into the room and want to hear my own songs, so I would play them. And just having that immediacy of playing a song and then connecting with an audience and having so much feedback from the people who would listen and wanted cassette tape copies of my songs, it gave me early on a habit of getting feedback pretty immediately.
