26 - Dee C. Lee - Come Hell Or Waters High - Hits 4

Описание: "Come Hell Or Waters High" by Dee C. Lee is a soulful, mid-tempo ballad that blends emotional vulnerability with quiet defiance. Released in 1986, the track showcases Lee’s rich, expressive vocals over a smooth arrangement of piano, strings, and subtle percussion. The lyrics speak to unwavering love and resilience in the face of adversity, with the title phrase evoking a promise to endure whatever challenges may come. It reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Lee’s biggest solo hit and a standout moment in British soul-pop.

Dee C. Lee was already known for her work with Wham! and The Style Council before stepping into the spotlight with "Come Hell Or Waters High". The song was written by her then-partner Paul Weller, who crafted the lyrics as a personal tribute to Lee’s strength and independence. During recording, Lee insisted on keeping the vocal takes raw and unpolished, believing that emotional truth mattered more than technical perfection. The track was recorded at Solid Bond Studios in London, with Weller overseeing production and adding subtle guitar flourishes. The music video, filmed in moody monochrome, featured Lee walking through rain-soaked streets and candlelit interiors, reinforcing the song’s themes of devotion and endurance. Though she never pursued a full solo album at the time, this single cemented her place as one of the most distinctive voices of the era—a blend of soul, style, and sincerity that resonated far beyond the charts.
