Details: Product Description The release of Paula Cole's debut album, Harbinger, marked the arrival of an extraordinary vocalist and songwriter with a startling gift for conveying her most revealing emotions through music. This Fire, is an immensely satisfying follow-up, spotlighting Paula's emergence as both producer and pianist while giving voice to a passionate set of new songs. Paula has won the admiration of her fellow musicians. Melissa Etheridge asked Paula to join her for the original Duets broadcast on VH-1. Paula has also toured as a member of Peter Gabriel's band. Gabriel returns the favor here with a guest vocal on Hush, Hush, Hush. Paula is an unforgettable live performer who has drawn raves for the intensity of her shows. Certified double platinum by the RIAA. (6/98) Amazon.ca After a promising but overlooked debut album, Paula Cole kept the bills paid with a fateful stint as Peter Gabriel's vocal foil on his 1994 Secret World tour. Gabriel's immersion in richly theatrical, primal vocals only magnified Cole's already fevered attack; it's obvious that his sense of adventure as a producer and writer also struck conceptual sparks with the Massachusetts singer-songwriter. This Fire, Cole's self-produced 1996 breakthrough, finds her investing her songs with outsized emotions, framed by consistently inventive arrangements built around Cole's keyboards, and reaching a zeitgeist-piercing intensity on "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" and "I Don't Want to Wait", making Cole seem very much like Fiona Apple's older, slightly less cracked sister. --Sam Sutherland
