Personally, I don't think KZK selling poorly (still 400k) affected her at all, she must have known it wouldn't sell well because those kind of albums never do. I still think she was most affected by the perverted nurse cosplay image that stuck to her that she hated, so she overcompensated by going for a glam jazz goddess in pastel, a sophisticated and 'clean' look and sound. She still breaks away from that and does some gritty stuff but overall that's her shtick now that she seems to like. I remember her bio stating she was always very conscious about how people view her.
