Following moderate UK success with Goodbye Mr Mackenzie, Manson was then signed as a solo artist, performing under the name Angelfish, with some members of Goodbye Mr Mackenzie, releasing Angelfish in the early 1990s. The music video for "Suffocate Me" received airplay on MTV's 120 Minutes and was watched by Steve Marker of Garbage. Impressed, he told fellow Garbage members Butch Vig and Duke Erikson, and the band invited Manson to Wisconsin to provide vocals for what would become their international breakthrough debut album, Garbage, released in 1995.[1] Garbage have since sold 17 million records worldwide,[2] and have since released a further six studio albums – Version 2.0 (1998), Beautiful Garbage (2001), Bleed Like Me (2005), Not Your Kind of People (2012), Strange Little Birds (2016) and No Gods No Masters (2021).
A few months into Garbage's hiatus, Manson began writing a solo record, working with musician Paul Buchanan,[3] producer Greg Kurstin,[4] and film composer David Arnold.[5] In 2007, Manson collaborated with Rivers Cuomo of Weezer, who at that point had never co-written material with anyone.[6] Manson presented some of her work to Geffen Records in 2008, who found it "too noir", prompting Manson and Geffen to mutually terminate her contract.[7] Manson continued to write material while without a record deal and was in talks with David Byrne and Ray Davies about a potential collaboration.[8] Manson posted three demos on her Facebook profile, written by her and Kurstin, titled "In the Snow",[4] "Pretty Horses"[9] and "Lighten Up".[10]
"I had taken some of my solo music into the record label. They didn't really care for the direction I was moving in and I found it really disheartening. They wanted a pop hit, which I understand in terms of making money. I get that. But what they were going to ask of me was something I wasn't prepared to deliver and I felt kind of trapped. I just stopped writing. I just stopped. It was stifling."

Manson also worked with a number of artists outside of her solo project, reciting a verse of a long poem for a Chris Connelly album,[11] co-writing and recording a duet with Eric Avery for his solo debut,[12] recording with Debbie Harry[13] and performing backing vocals on a Gavin Rossdale track.[14] Although not recording material with them, Manson also performed on-stage with The Pretenders, Iggy Pop, Incubus and Kings of Leon in Atlantic City,[15] with Gwen Stefani[16] and a further twice with No Doubt[17] in Universal City. Manson also performed in an uncredited role as a dominatrix in the music video for She Wants Revenge's single "These Things".[18]

Solo work
The first time Manson contributed her vocals to a project separately from any of her bands was in 1998, when she performed vocals for the chorus of a Garbage-produced remix of Fun Lovin' Criminals 1999 single "Korean Bodega".[67] Due to litigation problems surrounding Manson's contractual obligation to Radioactive Records, further collaborations with both Fun Lovin' Criminals[68] and Moby[69] were unable to proceed.
Manson teamed up with Marilyn Manson and Tim Sköld in 2004 to record a cover version of the Human League's "Don't You Want Me"[70] but both felt the track inappropriate for either acts upcoming albums, and remains unreleased.[7] Later that year, Manson and Brody Dalle contributed backing vocals to a Queens of the Stone Age track.[71] In 2006, Manson planned to record a John Lennon cover version for the Amnesty International Instant Karma charity compilation with bassist Eric Avery,[72] however a scheduling misunderstanding left them short of time and unable to record the song.[73] Manson and Avery eventually co-wrote and recorded "Maybe", a ballad duet for Avery's album Help Wanted.[74]
The following year, Manson worked with long-time friend Chris Connelly, orating part of a long poem on his eighth album Forgiveness and Exile,[75] and worked on a duet with longtime inspiration Debbie Harry[76] which remains uncompleted.[77]
Upon her taking on the role of Catherine Weaver in Terminator... and on the encouragement of series' composer Bear McCreary, Manson was asked by showrunner Josh Friedman to perform and co-create a gospel arrangement of "Samson and Delilah" for the opening episode of the second season.[78] After much interest, the track was released on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles season one soundtrack at the end of 2008.[79] Three years later Manson recorded vocals to a track composed by Serj Tankian and Steven Sater.[80] The track, "The Hunger", which Sater describes as exploring "the hunger of the heart", features on their rock musical adaptation of Prometheus Bound, and was recreated with fresh instrumentation and new lyrics for the digital release, exclusively through iTunes worldwide. All proceeds made from sales of the single will benefit Amnesty International.[81]
Manson has also given two tracks to Sky Ferreira; the 2012 single "Red Lips" and "I'm on Top" in 2013.

Sampling
In 2002, electronic group West London Deep sampled Manson's vocal from "You Look So Fine" in their white label track "You're Taking Me Over". Manson refused clearance for the sample and the track was scrapped. By that point the track, and remixes by Inner City, Problem Kids and Desyn Masiello and Leon Roberts had already been circulated.[92] The song was reworked and re-released the following year as "Gonna Make You My Lover", without Manson's vocal.
