Paula Cole (born April 5, 1968 in Rockport, Massachusetts, USA) is an American singer and songwriter. Among her hits include “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone,” “Me,” “I Am So Ordinary,” “I Believe In Love,” and the theme to the WB’s hit series “Dawson’s Creek,” “I Don’t Want to Wait.”
Cole released her debut album, Harbinger, in 1994 with Imago Records. She so entranced the industry with her vocals that she was asked to tour as an opening act for Peter Gabriel; she also appeared with Melissa Etheridge to sing a duet on VH1 though she was not well-known at the time.
Harbinger featured songs dwelling on Cole’s personal experience with discrimination and unhappiness. The songs were musically lush but driven and bleak. The accompanying artwork featured photographs of Cole with a boyishly short haircut, wearing loose fitting black sweatclothes, combat boots and nose ring. Unfortunately the Imago label folded and promotion of Harbinger was limited, affecting its sales. A single, “I Am So Ordinary”, was released with a bleak, low-budget black and white video that reflected the album’s artwork.
In late 1996 Cole released her sophomore album on Warner Brothers, This Fire, which she entirely self produced. The song’s debut single “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone” became an instant smash radio and music television hit, and it shot to the top of the pop charts. The follow up single, “I Don’t Want To Wait”, was another #1 hit, thanks in part to the fact that it was made the theme song to the popular teen drama Dawson’s Creek. (The song was considered by so many to be so overplayed that it was lampooned on various sketch comedy shows.
