Her project, Miss Alex White and Chris Playboy (Chris Saathoff) made several recordings together.

On April 1, 2016 White Mystery premiered "Best Friend" on the NBC Carson Daly Show, “Last Call” and announced forthcoming record Outta Control which is titled in reference to the same Airheads flavor from which the band name is derived.
