2002
The band starts the recordings of new album Stay. Guest musicians include Hubert Heeringa, Nick Bult, Ton Dijkman, Giovanni Caminata and Rob Winter. Peter van Asten and Tom Bakker deserve credit as co-composers and co-producers. After a first disappointing mastering process, the album release is postponed until the next year.
2003
The single One Love, released on January 28, the first track lifted off upcoming fifth album Stay, marks the first sign of life in years. In September Hermes and his family emigrate to New-Zeeland, effectively putting Ten Sharp activities on hold for a while.
2004 - 2005
Under the Luckyfella moniker Marcel Kapteijn and songwriter/producer Peter de Wijn release various danceable Latin albums. It All Begins With A Smile (2004) and Danceville (2005) contain contributions by Fred van Straten (ex-De Gigantjes). Kapteijn contributes to the Christmas single That's Why It's Xmas by his former band mate Niels Hermes, who is working in Holland again. The single comes out in November 2005 by the name of Hermes.
