After this, Ace of Base disappeared from the limelight for a while, only emerging in July 1997 to perform at a concert to celebrate the 20th birthday of Princess Victoria of Sweden. They were given as much time as they wanted to produce their third album, much of it being recorded in Jonas' own studio "The Barn". When it was finally released in June 1998, the band declared it their best album yet. It was titled Flowers because they believed that the songs, wildly different in style including Motown and gospel influences, resembled a varied bouquet of flowers. Fans were surprised to see that blonde singer Linn had relinquished lead vocal duties to sister Jenny, and on many promotional photos Linn's face was blurred. They were reassured that Linn was happy with her new backing role in the group, and many reasons were given for her decision including her having damaged her voice, fear of flying putting her off from travelling round the world, and her dislike of fame. The radio-friendly single "Life Is a Flower" was certified the most-played track on European radio for 1998 and sold more than 250,000 copies in the UK, peaking at number 5.

In the early 1990s, Swedish quartet Ace of Base scored a No. 1 hit in 10 countries with their first European single, "All That She Wants." Once they'd conquered their own continent, the band invaded the United States with a series of Top 10 singles and the 1993 album "The Sign," which sold nearly 2 million copies. This video collection features 10 of the band's biggest hits, including "All That She Wants," "Don't Turn Around" and "The Sign."

Perez Ace of Base has never gone away they have been together since the 90s and never broken up. There last release was Da Capo in Europe in 2002 it had mild success in Europe and Japan. Unfortunately they are no longer supported by Arista in the United States and have no record label. Also, they are all forming families and that seems to be their main focus now. No plans for a new album anytime soon are made and the Blonde one (Linn) doesn't perform live with the group and just does studio work
