During the '80s, Aimee Mann led the post-new wave pop group 'til Tuesday. After releasing three albums with the group, she broke up the band and embarked on a solo career. Her first solo album, Whatever, was a more introspective, folk-tinged effort than 'til Tuesday's albums, and received uniformly positive reviews upon its release in the summer of 1993.
