A second album, Welcome to Fantasy Island (originally titled Portrait Of A Lady), garnered critical raves and a moderate hit with the lead single, Freak & You Know It, but was shelved by Elektra Records in 1997, due to their decision that the album "did not contain any other singles". In 1998, she collaborated with Jamie Foxx on the slow jam, T-Shirt & Panties for the feature film Woo, (Foxx originally intended it for his film Booty Call). During this time, she made her feature film debut in the independent film High Freakquency, starring Deon Richmond and John Witherspoon.

By 2004, Howard officially released her third album (now called The Second Coming) under Rufftown Records.

The first official single off the album is L.O.V.A., with an online contest made for her fans to appear in the upcoming music video for it. However, two other songs ("Picture This", "Doin' 80") have been recently rumored to become the lead single as well. Along with the release of the new album, fans are doubtful of the album's release once again because of the track record of Adina's label. Since the original release date of April 2005, the album has been delayed nearly a dozen times. Adina Howard did not let her label issues stop her from promoting the new album. She recently released phone ringtones of the entire Private Show album and her private jewelry collection entitled "Vixen Vintage". On Thursday, December 14th, Adina Howard phones into the popular syndicated radio show "The Wendy Williams Experience" to offer Wendy Williams and copy of her new album.
