SUMMARY:Paula Cole
DESCRIPTION:Paula Cole has been a truth-teller\, a provocateur\, a feminist\, a rebel\, and a brilliant autobiographical writer who has pushed for personal honesty and social change. An artful weaver of genre\, she is difficult to categorize – she is simply Paula Cole. \nAfter gaining attention for her performances as a vocalist on Peter Gabriel’s 1993–1994 Secret World Tour\, her second album This Fire (1996) brought her worldwide acclaim\, peaking at number 20 on the Billboard 200 album chart and producing two hit singles\, the triple-Grammy nominated “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?”\, which reached the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1997\, and “I Don’t Want to Wait”\, which was used as the theme song of the television show Dawson’s Creek. \nPaula Cole’s eleventh studio album\, “Lo” is devastatingly personal and utterly gorgeous.  Her first album of original compositions in five years\, “Lo”’s eleven songs\, written entirely by Cole\, navigate her opening to trust again after indelible blows of life. As the first woman to ever be nominated for the Best Producer Grammy in her own right\, Paula Cole returns to the helm of recording as sole producer.
