1989 was a fantastic year for 20 year old Cathy Dennis. Unknown in her home country the Norwich born singer/songwriter recorded and scored a No. 1 hit single in the States. With dance collective D-Mob, C'mon And Get My Love soon became one of the dance anthems of the year, crossing back over the Atlantic and reaching the top 20 in the UK. The track set the pace for Cathy's third single, Touch Me (All Night Long), going to 5. The debut album, Move To This, went on to yield four international hits selling over 2 million singles and 1 million albums. In America, Cathy was voted "Best New Female Artist of 1991" by Billboard magazine and became the first British female to achieve four top ten singles from one album. The second album quickly followed in 1992. Into The Skyline mimicked it's predecessor's success, debuting at No. 8 in the UK and producing 3 hit singles - Cathy's record now standing at 10 consecutive Top 40 records. So this brings us to summer 1996. Since her last album, Cathy has been involved in varied projects including a cameo appearance in Beverly Hills 90210, singing on the PM Dawn track Looking Through Patient Eyes and of course recording The Cradle, her third album scheduled for release August 1996. Cathy has co-written and co-produced the entire album, encompassing the writing skills of Andy Partridge (XTC) on the title track, Guy Chambers (World Party) on 4 tracks and Ray Davies (The Kinks) on The Date, as well as Cathy's rendition of Waterloo Sunset. Co-production credits go to Mark Saunders (Neneh Cherry, Tricky) who also co-wrote several tracks. Describing the album as a "more honest representation of myself" and "semi autobiographical", The Cradle is a celebration of Cathy's creative freedom and an album which should re-establish her as one of Britain's most exciting female solo artists.
