The third and final song Hines released with the band was the ballad “It’s Not Over”. The song was also a success but was not as big as the previous two, charting at number fifteen in Australia. With the success with the Rockmelons, Hines became one of the most well known faces, and voices, in Australia.

In 1992, entrepreneur Harry M. Miller signed Hines for the role of Mary Magdalene in a revival of the stage musical Jesus Christ Superstar.

In 2004 and 2005, Hines spent most of the time overseas with her then-fiance Ben Steel.

Hines’ single “Water for Chocolate”, written by the Family Stand, was released in Australia on 8 July 2006 and just missed the top 100 peaking at number twenty-eight on the Australian Urban Singles Chart. The song was followed up by an album of the same name released on 19 August 2006. Two further singles “Son of a Preacher Man” and “5 Days Of Rain” were released throughout 2007.
