Love Me In Black
''Love Me in Black'' is the sixth solo album of the German female hard rock singer Doro Pesch. It was released in 1998, after the dissolution of her contract with Polygram/Vertigo. Her new label WEA decided to publish the album only in Europe. Overview ''Love Me in Black'' is the first album released by Doro after her split from the PolyGram/Vertigo label, which had published all her works since 1985. Her new label WEA left her ample freedom for the making of her new album and she worked on it for more than two years, splitting its production in two teams. The first team was formed by the successful American producers and musicians Jimmy Harry and Fred Maher, the second team by former members of the German industrial rock band Die Krupps Jürgen Engler and Chris Lietz, who had already collaborated on Doro's previous album '' Machine II Machine'' and on the following EP of remixes. The result of this double approach to production is surprisingly homogeneous, combining a heavier g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
