Jazz-trained singer/songwriter Paula Cole was one of Lilith Fair’s key voices in the late ’90s, though she had a penchant for twistier and more opaque songs than was typical for the tour, with a sense of atmosphere informed by a stint singing backup for Peter Gabriel. Her catalogue highlights these qualities: the soulful dynamics on “I Believe In Love”, the sorrowful metaphors on “I Am So Ordinary”, the driving percussion on “Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?” She may be best known for “I Don’t Want to Wait”, the epic single used as Dawson’s Creek’s indelible theme, but Cole’s work goes far beyond soundtracks for teenage yearning.
