For the promotion of the EP, Emma went on the Pigs Can Fly Tour with the band Busted, as their opening act. Another EP titled Magnetised was released in 2017, which marked Emma's UK Album Chart entry, at number sixty-three.
Emma began working on her debut album, Villains, in October 2017, shortly after founding her independent RWG Records. Its lead single "Dirt", produced by Toby Scott, was released in March 2018 and was featured on Spotify's New Music Friday UK playlist. Other singles from the album included "Agenda", "Icarus", and "Take Me Out", which were all released until the album's official due date in August 2018. Villains experienced commercial success, debuting and peaking at twenty-four on the UK albums chart.
Blackery released her EP, My Arms Are Open, on 15 May 2020, whose lead single was "Wolves". Her second album, Girl in a Box, was released in August 2021. Prior to the release of the LP, "Crying", "Brutus", "My Terms", "Shadowplay", and "Ridicule" were promoted as singles, with the first three receiving alternative remixes. A cover of The Smiths' "How Soon Is Now?" was also featured on the album and got a music video.
