Biography
Do Re Mi came together in 1982 and burst onto the Australian music scene three years later with the single "Man Overboard." The band split in 1988 after issuing two albums and several hit singles. Lead singer Deborah Conway then moved into a thriving solo career once the group dissolved.
Her first solo album, String of Pearls, surfaced in 1991 and drew immediate notice for spanning acoustic pop and rock while delivering three hit singles: "It's Only the Beginning," "Release Me," and "Under My Skin."
Conway returned in 1993 with Bitch Epic, a record that leaned more heavily into rock than its predecessor and yielded the singles "Alive and Brilliant" and "Today I'm a Daisy," though it achieved less commercial success than String of Pearls.
Ultrasound arrived in 1995 as more of a collective project, devoting half its tracks to instrumental pieces and carrying an experimental tone that contributed to weak reviews and disappointing sales.
Conway's next proper solo album, My Third Husband, reached stores in 1997 and drew poor notices for its samples and loops reminiscent of Portishead, leading critics to label the work derivative and limiting its performance, aside from the minor single "Only the Bones (Will Show)."
