“You Can Love Her” (1994) – Angelfish * Written by Holly Vincent * CD: Angelfish * Produced by Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth * Label: Radioactive
Scottish singer Shirley Manson fronted Angelfish before getting recruited to sing for the astute founders of Garbage. Out of all the other tracks on the Angelfish CD, “You Can Love Her” rises above the nineties’ mountains of scuffed jewel cases with authority bestowed on Manson from Holly Vincent of Holly and the Italians. A listen-through of Vincent’s 1988 demo shows that this Angelfish version – produced by former Talking Heads/Tom Tom Club duo Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth – stays true to the intended leather-jacket-in-the-rain vibe.
