With the release of Rumour, Lunik started as a trip-hop group and evolved (some say de-volved) to a more melodic pop outfit in the early 2000s.
Jaël became known in wider audiences after her appearance on Delerium's single "After All", taken from their 2003 album "Chimera" as well as Mich Gerber's single Your Remain in 2004.
In 2013, it was announced that the band would split up after releasing the album Encore, featuring some unreleased tracks and live versions. Jaël stated in an interview that the reason of the split was that "everything had been said (what the members wanted to express together)" and the band members "didn't have fun anymore" playing together.

Lunik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cannot deny
Though I don't know why I was imprisoned in a dream
Believed in it what a fool I've been
What a fool I've been
He has been a shady prince I am careful ever since
Trusting the wrong people
Oh it hurts
I try to run away from this emptiness inside
But there's no place to hide for me
I have to face it all
Though feelings in my heart are tearing me apart
I learned that I'm alone
Can't count but on my own
Believed in the goodness of men
And I was struck down
Even my love lied to me
Cause he just wanted to be free
And hurtin' me
He has been a shady prince I am careful ever since
Trusting the wrong people
Oh it hurts
So disappointing all these empty words
I try to run away from this emptiness inside
But there's no place to hide for me
I have to face it all
Feelings in my heart are tearing me apart
Take me into custody
Convince me of your honesty
Prove it that your words are more than words
Reality is hard all was lied right from the start
Don't deny, don't deny, don't deny, don't deny
I try to run away from this emptiness inside
But there's no place to hide for me
I have to face it all
Though feelings in my heart are tearing me apart
I'd like to run away
I'd like to run away
To you
