By 1989, Laine had a contract with Elektra Records, and a backing band of his own. That same year brought about many firsts for Laine, including two singles, "We Are the Young" and "Dorianna," a debut album, Stick It in Your Ear, and even a music video. He also toured with an impressive bunch, including Richard Marx and Bryan Adams. Though things seemed to be going well, and the debut album was leaving store shelves quickly, there were no more solo albums by Laine. He still stayed busy in the music world, working on a number of albums and singles with other artists.
