Lisa Dalbello (born 1958 as “Lisa Dal Bello” in Toronto (Weston)) is a Canadian recording artist and songwriter. She released three albums in the pop and pop/rock genre in her late teens, from 1977 through 1981 under her full name. In 1984 she re-emerged as Dalbello, with an edgier brand of alternative rock. (Alanis Morissette, a Dalbello fan, followed a similar career path and musical transformation 10 years later in the 1990s.)
Signing with Capitol Records out of L.A. when she was 17, her self-titled debut album in 1977, produced by David Foster, won her a Juno Award for Most Promising Female Vocalist. She was nominated for the same award a second time, for her 1978 sophomore release Pretty Girls, although she did not win.
After Dalbello’s third album, in 1981, she took a break from recording to re-evaluate her creative and personal priorities. However, David Bowie’s former Spiders From Mars guitarist Mick Ronson saw a CBC documentary on her while working at a recording studio in Toronto and convinced her to record another album.
That album, whomanfoursays (a homophone for “human forces”), was co-produced by Dalbello and Ronson. It was also her first album recorded as Dalbello, and marked her transformation into an edgy rock artist. The transformation worked — the album was even more successful on the Canadian pop charts than her earlier albums had been. The album spawned the hit singles “
Gonna Get Close to You” and “Animal”.
