Their second album, ''[[What You Don't Know (album)|What You Don't Know]]'' ([[1989]]), went gold and proved to be almost as much of a success as their debut. The success of Exposé in the U.S. lead to a lot of similar [[girl groups]] being created by producers and existing ones being signed to labels. Shortly after the success of the singles "What You Don't Know" and "When I Looked at Him," the release of the single "Tell Me Why," made history for the group when they became the first girl group to have 7 back-to-back Top 10 hits on the [[Billboard Hot 100]]. "Your Baby Never Looked Good in Blue" and "Stop, Listen, Look & Think" soon followed afterwards.
===Bruno's Throat Problems and Departure from Exposé (1990-1992)===
In the middle of [[1990]], while touring with Exposé, Bruno began having throat problems - later linked to a benign tumor on her vocal chords - and which caused the group to cut the tour short. The group took a little bit of time off from their schedule in hopes that she would recover. Ultimately, Bruno lost her voice and she was replaced by [[Kelly Moneymaker]] in [[1992]].
===''Exposé'' (Self Titled Album)(1992-1994)
That same year, the group released their third album ''[[Exposé (album)|Exposé]]'', which integrated more adult-contemporary material in addition to their established Freestyle, House, R&B, Pop and love ballad repertoire. The album was not as commercially successful as their previous albums, and several singles fared better on the adult-contemporary charts. They did manage to crack the U.S. Top 40 pop chart with "I Wish the Phone Would Ring" and "I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me," which also reached #1 on the adult-contemporary chart. Subsequent releases "As Long As I Can Dream" and "In Walked Love" featured Curless in the lead vocal spotlight.

In [[1995]], they recorded the [[Diane Warren]]-penned song "I'll Say Good-Bye for the Two of Us" for the soundtrack of the film ''[[Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home]]''; that same year, the song was issued on ''Greatest Hits''.
===
Toward the end of [[1995]], Arista dropped the group, and the members disbanded at the beginning of [[1996]] to pursue their own projects. However, over time, [[BMG]] has released two other variations of Greatest Hits collections, as well as a collection of popular remixes from their 12-inch singles.

After the group disbanded, Jurado performed in the stage play "Mad Hatter," supplied vocals for Jazz artists and remained regionally active on the West Coast; Kelly Moneymaker is married to soap opera actor [[Peter Reckell]] and released two albums (''Like a Blackbird'' and ''Through these Basement Walls''); while Curless supplied vocals to several club/dance projects and provided academic instruction on music and the music business. In [[1997]], Bruno fully recovered from her throat tumor and began singing again. After a small stint with the band Wet, she worked on a solo career focused mostly on dance-oriented material. Her first album, ''Expose This'', was released in the Spring of 2004.
