When I thought to myself “Where has Paula Cole been?” I didn’t expect to get a detailed response just by visiting her website. There, in about 500 words, is a mini-autobiography of her life since she stepped out of the spotlight. She became a mom, dealt with her daughter’s severe asthma, tried to relax, left her record label, thought about leaving music altogether, but regained her joy of that creative process after she moved back to the east coast. Her new album, appropriately titled “Courage” is scheduled for release on June 12, 2007.
