She signed with Rainbow Recording Company, and her debut album, Over the Rainbow, was released in the UK in November 2007. The album was re-released in June 2008 with a new track listing, along with its first single, a cover of Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds". Over the Rainbow reached number one in three countries, and has sold over 250,000 copies worldwide. Since the initial album release, Talbot has performed publicly and on television in Europe and the US, as well as across Asia, where her music had gained recognition through YouTube.
