2017, Born and raised in Toronto, Alannah's rise to fame was initially littered with frustration and slow progress but bolstered by an unshakeable belief in her abilities. It was this faith in her own talent that fuelled her determination to succeed at all costs, eventually winning an impressive deal with Atlantic Records in the US. Issued in 1989, and produced by fellow Canadian David Tyson, it's a record that mined the lucrative space between all out hard rock and considered pop. On this record, we are left in no doubt as to Alannah's vocal credentials. Raspy, sultry and uniquely distinctive her voice permeated a work that had immediate appeal, from cock-sure rockers such as ,,Still Got This Thing For You", ,,Kick Start My Heart" and ,,Rock This Joint" to heart rending ballads like ,,Lover Of Mine" and ,,Who Loves You". But of course it's the huge international hit single ,,Black Velvet" that created her position in the marketplace, helping to propel the album to sales in excess of six million units worldwide.
