Before starlets Florence Welch and Marina & the Diamonds there was a vocalist more powerful and yet such a delicacy and treasure to stumble upon. Most remember Paula Cole from the damn track that opened each episode of Dawson’s Creek. Let us collectively erase that from our mind and start anew. This Fire, Cole’s 1996 album is one of the powerful records to date. If you’re unfamilair listen to Mississippi here. Cole’s fifth studio album, Ithaca, is scheduled to be released September 21. It is a true return to form for Cole, in which she has written all the songs on the album and co-produced them all as well. Cole says it “represents that inner fortitude and the journey I’ve been on.”
