SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:22 Min.
From her 1996 album, This Fire, Paula Cole duets with Peter Gabriel on the tenth track.
REVIEW:
Exuding poignancy, this ballad’s low-key, piano-driven elegance sounds a bit reminiscent of Amy Lee and Evanescence. Yet, what stands out more is the vocal chemistry between Paula Cole and Peter Gabriel, though they don’t actually sing in unison. It’s more like she passes the baton on to him later in the song and then it goes back to Cole – this creative choice adds another distinctive element to “Hush, Hush, Hush.” The song’s haunting thematic content re: the impact of AIDS on a father and his dying son proves hard to shake off. “Hush, Hush, Hush,” is a song of the same caliber as Eric Clapton’s unforgettable “Tears in Heaven.” Highly recommended!
