Michelle Branch signed a record deal with Maverick Records while opening for Hanson in December 2000. Her first album under Maverick, The Spirit Room, was released in August 2001 and went on to sell over one million copies in the U.S. The single “Everywhere” became a worldwide top-twenty hit, and was followed by the U.S. top-ten hit “All You Wanted” and the top-forty single “Goodbye to You”. Branch was frequently compared (both positively and negatively) to other singer-songwriters like Norah Jones, Avril Lavigne, and Vanessa Carlton who rose to prominence at around the same time as she. In 2002 Branch was the lead vocalist on Carlos Santana’s song “The Game of Love”, which became her first single to reach the U.S. top five; it went on to win a Grammy Award for “Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals”.
In 2003, Michelle Branch released her second full-length album, Hotel Paper, which became her second RIAA-certified platinum album but was met with mixed reviews. The lead single “Are You Happy Now?” became another top-twenty hit for Branch in the U.S., but follow-up singles “Breathe” and “‘Til I Get over You” failed to achieve substantial success. In June 2004 she hosted MTV’s Faking the Video alongside Nick Lachey and JC Chasez.
Michelle Branch married her bass player, Teddy Landau, 19 years her senior, in Mexico on May 23, 2004. On August 3, 2005, Branch gave birth to a 7 lb (3.2 kg). 12oz. (3.5 kg) baby girl named Owen Isabelle.
In late 2007, Branch sold her home in a Southern California gated community. Branch purchased a home in the elite Belle Meade neighborhood of Nashville in January 2008.
