On 8 April 2004, Milton released her debut album Friday.

It also spawned three further singles, "Whicketywhack (I Ain't Coming Back)", "Shine On" and "So Addictive".
In 2005 she provided the voice dubbing for one of the characters in the Danish release of the adventure/comedy film Racing Stripes.
In November 2006, "Superstar" appeared on the debut album of American singer Bianca Ryan, the first winner of the reality talent show America's Got Talent.
