In 2007, Wilson returned with the album Follow Me, released by the UK dance label Klone Records.[2]

Wilson has since released a number of solo albums, the latest being Change Of Heart on September 6th 2019.

Wilson has worked with the Dutch producer Matt Pop, Stock Aitken Waterman's head mixmaster Pete Hammond, Norwegian pop team A2E, German spacesynth producer Marco Rochowski, and other producers such as Italoconnection and Mirko Hirsch.
