In 1998, Paula Cole was already a Grammy award-winner and respected artist, post cutting her musical teeth with the likes of Peter Gabriel. He features on This Fire, her second album I got to unpack with her, 18 months after its initial release.

A vital voice you should listen to if you are a fan of passionate, lyrical wizardry.
