In 2014, Sway Clarke signed to Capitol/Island Records, and released “Secret Garden” as his first major label release. In early 2015 he met UK producer Nellee Hooper (Massive Attack, Gwen Stefani) and began working on his debut album, “Plastic Romantic”. The album was completed in the summer of 2016, but was never released due to label issues.
