For fans of the Canadian rock musician Lisa Dal Bello, better known as Dalbello



Lisa Dalbello (born 1958 as "Lisa Dal Bello" in Toronto (Weston)) is a Canadian recording artist and songwriter. She released three albums in the pop and pop/rock genre in her late teens, from 1977 through 1981 under her full name. In 1984 she re-emerged as Dalbello, with an edgier brand of alternative rock. (Alanis Morissette, a Dalbello fan, followed a similar career path and musical transformation 10 years later in the 1990s.)

Despite Dalbello's long absence from the recording world, she was eagerly welcomed back by the Canadian music press as well. Because of her powerful voice and aggressive persona, comparisons were drawn between Dalbello and the surprising successful Alanis Morissette. However, she refused to take credit for paving the way for other female rockers like Morissette. As she explained to Jane Stevenson of the Toronto Sun, "someone like Alanis has a sense of angst, a sense of unrest within herself and that's coming from her personal experiences which are different from mine." Dalbello credited women rockers such as Chrissie Hynde (of the {Pretenders), Annie Lennox (of the Eurythmics) and Patti Smith as paving the way for her and others.

whore received favourable reviews from critics upon its release in mid-1996. Writing in the British magazine Frontiers, music critic Peter Sims said,"As a whole, it sounds very contemporary but without sacrificing or compromising Dalbello's unique style. If anything, whore is her most extreme album to date." The songs on the album display a range of emotions, from bittersweet compositions and gentle ballads to songs with a "pounding beat and funky bass lines." Sound distortions and processed vocals are also employed. Sims described the title song as "Dalbello at her psychotic weirdest with much of the lyrics spoken."

    It's really sad to see Britney Spears and Lady Gaga in the charts, instead of good rock/metal bands/artists :(... Oh well, everybody is welcome to join...

    LOL, Lady GaGa weekly top artist of the Dalbello group? ;-) OK, yesterday I connected her to the new Rockpalast group, because she had a great gig at that German TV show in Bochum on Oct 1st, 1985, and she's one of my favorite female vocalists anyhow, so hopefully more people on Last.fm will get aware of her. ZZee ya, Hans-Jürgen
