Context
By 1993, Debbie Harry was in a transitional phase of her career, having previously achieved fame as the frontwoman of Blondie. 'I Can See Clearly' marked her first solo release in nearly a decade, following the less commercially successful album 'Def, Dumb & Blonde' in 1989. This project aimed to re-establish her presence in the evolving music scene of the early '90s.
