So, I caught the news about how 90s dance diva/pop singer, Cathy Dennis, is still making a living in the music business - not as a performer, but as a music writer. She's responsible for huge hits for Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, S Club Juniors, and Janet Jackson, just to name a few. I'm happy to see her doing so well!
Anyway, this news caused me to flashback of my high school youth. I had seen her beautiful 60s haircut and neon green album cover and fell in love with her. I got her debut album, Move to This through my primary way of purchasing semi-cheap CDs: BMG Music Club (which I'm still currently a member).
I think at the time, she had "Just Another Dream" as a hit single, a dancey number with that catchy line "is it for real or is it just another dream (just a dream)", followed by "Touch Me (All Night Long)" which shows off her dancing skills on MTV.
Once I had the album, I was drawn to her sweet lullaby love song, "Too Many Walls". This song, complete with the violin parts, did really well on the Billboard charts.... and I believe it was the last time we heard from her in the States.
I don't know what happened really, she disappeared as quickly as she appeared on pop radio.
Looking at her discography, I can tell you that she did release two other albums, and a greatest hits, but as far as I know, they were only a blimp on the radar in the US. I'm sure she fared far better in her home country.
As luck would have it, Discopop reported a brand new Cathy Dennis album called Sexcassettes should be out in 2008:
Her manager, Spice Girls svengali Simon Fuller, adds that the album has “a real contemporary guitar feeling” - which is less encouraging.
I don't know about 'less encouraging', but it should be interesting to hear her new original songs.
Dennis, from the recent Yahoo article, adds more details:
Actually, yes. I've been working for the last year-and-a-half with a band I put together called Sexcassettes. We're shooting a video for the first single, "Killer Love," this month, and I hope to have it out by the end of the year. It's more of a band sound than produced pop. As usual, I have no idea what to expect.
Another day to go through before weekends come. Another week to go through before MID SEM BREAK!!!!!!!!
I'm planning to go back to Singapore on the 1st of August. I miss Capiqa, Nyai (nenek in Malay, grandma in English) and all my other relatives there. A quick trip might help me to clear my mind. You know how I need that so badly. Besides, I miss eating Singapore's mee goreng mamak. Oh God, I think I'm hungry. Chow.
life has been absolutely insane, and yesterday i realized it was the six-month anniversary of my arriving here! it seems worth celebrating! as much as i miss home sometimes, i haven't gone back with my tail between my legs. in fact, quite the opposite...i'm in a show, i have an apartment, and am making some fun travel plans! it seems to be something worth at least a little bit of revelry, no?
lucky for me, derdahveed is here and more than happy to revel with me, day or night:
the best dark beer in the city, along with fladenbrot that's TO DIE FOR. oh kolar, i'm so very addicted to you.
and now, the dahveed in my kitchen making french toast. and this morning, he watered the sunflower he bought me for opening night. seriously, how am i ever gonna function without this guy around?!?!?!?
This little guy performs the cutest chore. Watch how the bunny will open the envelope. Where's David Letterman when you need him?
A middle-aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. While on the operating table, she had a near death experience.
Seeing God she asked, "Is my time up?"
God said, "No. You have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live."
Upon hearing this, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face lift, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. She even had someone change her hair color. Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it.
She was released from the hospital, but while crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by a car.
Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another 43 years?! Why didn't you pull me out of the path of that car?"
God replied, "I didn't recognize you."
With a breathtaking background and an enchanting foreground, the full moon is in such a position that it appears to be held in place by the mechanical crane. In a matter of seconds the scene will change, but the photograph has captured the essence of this moment for all time.
