4.0 out of 5 stars 4th solo album a Pot Pourri of different styles, some smelling sweeter than others, 7 Aug 2007
By Lee-B (London) - See all my reviews
By the time Debravation was released Debbie Harry was 48 years old, no longer Blonde, and eager to shake off the ghost of Blondie. Harry and Stein begun work on the album in late 1990/Early 1991 and had a clear idea about the kind of record they wanted to make. No big name producers,a gritty dark rock and roll record. Early tracks included "Standing In My Way" premiered live at Wembley stadium in 1991.

Unfortunately the original Chris Stein production was rejected by Chrysalis, who with their usual lack of judgement did not hear a hit single.
It's worth noting that Chrysalis said the exact same thing about "Autoamerican" in 1980 and that record spawned two monster Number One hits in the reggae pastiche of "The Tide Is High" and the genre fusing groundbreaking "Rapture".
But times had changed and at this point Harry had less clout within a record label she barely recognised anymore.

Harry was teamed up with outside writers including Anne Dudley and Guy Pratt ,existing tracks were re-recorded and remixed to create a record far removed from the album Harry intended to release.

The tweaked and mixed Debravation is a mixed bag of styles. Strike Me Pink a pretty balad harks back to Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" and the lead off single "I Can See Clearly" itself a last minute addition as the "hit" single and co written and produced by Arthur Baker was in a power pop vein with Harry lamenting the past she had thrown away "To keep from going under"

The real meat of the album and the only tracks untampered with are "Dog Star Girl" a brooding grimy tale of alligning forces and lust. "Standing In My Way" is a great rock and roller although this was oddly recorded as a duet with Joey Ramone, the released version features a solo re-recorded vocal from Debbie.

The album suffered real lack of promotion and resulted in Harry being dropped by the label. A mixed bag of songs, some are great some not so great. And one is left with the feeling that Debbie Harry was being pulled in all sorts of musical direction except the ones she really wanted to pursue.

Having said that, Debbie provides some of the best vocals of her career, her voice has a richer velvety feel and you'll find yourself humming along. Not the definitive DH solo album, but one every Debbie Harry fan should own.
