Career

Cole received her first professional break when she was invited to appear on Peter Gabriel's 1993-1994 Secret World Tour. Gabriel sought Cole after Sinéad O'Connor, who had left the tour, on the recommendation of his studio engineer Kevin Killen. At her apartment in San Francisco, she left an answering machine message for her and rushed to Mannheim, Germany, for her only rehearsal with Gabriel shortly before performing in front of 16,000 people.

Cole was on the two last legs of Peter Gabriel's 1993-1994 Secret World tour. Cole appeared on the tour just days after he began filming. Cole was featured in Duets with Gabriel, including "Don't Give Up" on which she sang the part of Kate Bush's appearance with Gabriel in 1986 and "Blood of Eden" recorded by Gabriel and Sinéad O'Connor in 1992. The film was nominated for Best Long Form Music Video in 1996 by the Grammy Awards for Best Long Form Music Video. Cole was also the top female vocalist on Secret World Live, the audio album narrating the tour. Cole gained international recognition as well as experience on a large stage during the tour. Cole was "one of the true stars" on the tour, according to a retrospective analysis, she was "maybe a superior vocalist" to Sinéad O'Connor, who said she was "probably a good actor" on the tour.

Cole's first album Harbinger debuted in 1994, a few years after the tour. Melissa Etheridge appeared in a duet on VH1. Imago Records went out of business a few months after the album came out. Cole joined Warner Bros. Records in 1995. In the fall of 1995, Warner reissued Harbinger.

Cole's personal thoughts on discrimination and unhappiness were featured in Harbinger's collection. The songs were lush on musical terms but also bleak and bleak. Cole's short haircut, wearing loose fitting black sweatclothes, combat boots, and a nose ring were among the accompanying artworks. The Imago brand was discontinued and Harbinger's promotion was limited, affecting its profits. With a black-and-white video that reflected the album's artwork, a single, "I Am So Ordinary," was released.

Cole's second album, This Fire, was entirely self-produced in late 1996. Where Have All the Cowboys Gone," the album's debut single, "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" "We went to No. 1" and read this article. Billboard magazine's pop chart has a number 8 on it. "I Don't Want to Wait" was the follow-up single. 11's success was boosted by its use as the theme song for Dawson's Creek, a hit teen drama series that debuted over a year after the album was released. Mme" is the single word (No. ), but it is not the case). The 35 Airplay chart (also known as a radio-only single) was also released as a radio-only single. A duet with Peter Gabriel addresses AIDS and the dying in his father's comforting arms. "Feelin' Love" was a single that was included on the soundtrack to City of Angels.

Cole was a featured artist on Sarah McLachlan's Lilith Fair in 1996 and 1998, as well as the major tours. In 1997, she was nominated for many Grammy Awards. Colette was the third woman to be nominated in this category after Janet Jackson in 1990 and Mariah Carey in 1992; she did not win, but she did go on to win "Best New Artist" that same year.

Cole took a hiatus to raise her daughter, Sky. Cole, the newly formed Amen, performed Amen in 1999. The album's debut single "I Believe In Love" was initially unprofitable, but producer Jonathan Peters' remixed it into a hit dance video. On the hit television show Charmed in 2000, Paula and the band performed "Be Somebody" on P3. The album, which featured guest appearances by DJ Premier and long-time Cole fan Tionne Watkins, had some R&B and hip-hop influences but did not quite measure up to This Fire's success. Hugh Padgham's fourth album was recorded, but the label refused to release it; in 2005 Cole posted "Singing Out My Life" on her own website to get her music out; During these sessions, she recorded "It's My Life," a song that can be heard in Mercury automobile commercials.

Cole's seventh studio album was released on March 23, 2015, via Cole's website and other digital music stores on April 10, 2015. It's "a collection of songs that came suddenly and urgently," Cole says. As if my subconscious wanted to reach out to me and tell me what it was all about, the songs begged to be written and published; they wanted to be published and released; to tell me what it was thinking about all the things that went through. As an acoustic quartet, I performed this album live. It seems that it was a soft, soulful album made in the 1960s, and the songs speak for themselves."

Cole revealed that her latest live album This Bright Red Feeling was only available on CDs and on her website, with plans to bring it online shortly. The album is a recording of her live New York City performance on May 1, 2016, but it also includes re-recordings of two of her biggest commercial hits.

In 2021, this album was released.
