Paula Cole Biography
Paula Cole was one of the many female singer/songwriters who
rose to prominence in the mid-'90s in the wake of alternative's
commercial breakthrough. Drawing heavily from the ethereal, pretty
sound of Sarah McLachlan and Tori Amos, Cole created songs that relied
equally on dreamy melodies and poetic, introspective lyrics.
Cole was born and raised in Rockport, MA, the daughter of an amateur
musician and a visual artist. Following her high-school graduation, she
went to the Berklee College of Music to study jazz singing and
improvisation. After she graduated from Berklee, Cole became a
professional musician in order to make a living; she continued to write
original material on the side.
Her first big break arrived when Peter Gabriel invited her to perform
on his 1992-1993 world tour. Shortly afterward, she signed to Imago
Records, where she released her debut album, Harbinger, in 1994. Within
a year of the album's release, Imago went out of business, which
prevented the record from getting exposure on radio and in the press.
In 1995, she signed to Warner Brothers, who reissued Harbinger in the
fall of that year. Cole returned with her second album, This Fire, in
October of 1996. The album and its accompanying single, Where Have All
the Cowboys Gone?, became word-of-mouth hits, breaking through into
the mainstream in the spring of 1997. That summer, Cole participated in
the first Lilith Fair, a traveling festival McLachlan designed to
showcase female artists. Cole was one of the performers to receive a
significant boost of profile from the tour, and was the subject of many
articles in the mainstream press.
In 1998, Cole won the Grammy for Best New Artist, despite the fact that
she released her debut album in 1994 and therefore was technically
ineligible. That same year she scored with the single I Don't Want to
Wait, popularized as the theme to the television hit Dawson's Creek.
Her much-anticipated third album, Amen, followed in 1999. Eight years
passed before she returned with the single 14 and a new album,
Courage, in 2007. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
