After the tour "Rock Runt Riket" with Roxette, it was time for Marie to record a new solo album. Once again, she worked together with Lasse Lindbom, both as a producer and as a songwriter. The new album went ahead and was recorded over two sessions, one in May and the other in September of 1987. Marie was worried that her new album would be a total flop but "Efter Stormen" was an instant success!

The new album was followed by another solo tour but this time the songs were performed in more acoustic way than before, creating a whole new atmosphere, making it more in accordance with her slow and melancholy songs.
