In October 2012 Duc released her latest single, "Single Glance", which was produced by Stuart Epps. In an interview with Vents Magazine she revealed that she was finishing work on her second album and that the album has a lot more Celtic influences compared to her previous album, with a greater focus on live instruments.

In 2016 Duc remixed The Corrs' song "Intimacy" which was released through Warner Music UK.

Musical style

Duc's music is a blend of Celtic and world melodies with contemporary electronica rhythms and atmospheric soundscapes. Anna Kosmanovski of Mediasearch described her style as "neo classical" and "Celtic, mystical sounding electronic, has none of the lullaby substance of ordinary classical music".
