Denise Johnson Biography – Denise Johnson Wiki
Denise Johnson was an English singer, best known for her performance on Primal Scream’s 1991 album Screamadelica. She performed with Primal Scream from 1990 to 1995 and came to prominence after appearing on the band’s 1991 album Screamadelica, singing on hits such as “Higher Than the Sun” and “Don’t Fight It, Feel It.”
She also worked with several bands, including The Pet Shop Boys, Bernard Sumner, and Johnny Marr’s duo Electronic, and post-punk band A Certain Ratio.
Johnson began her professional career as a vocalist in the group Fifth of Heaven, before joining the American soul band Maze during their UK tour in the late 1980s.
She was introduced to Primal Scream when Tony Martin of the duo Hypnotone, who was involved in the making of Screamadelica, recommended her for the vocals on “Don’t Fight It, Feel It”.
In a 2018 Interview with Louder Than War, Johnson described performing with the Primal Scream. She said: “Recording with Primal Scream was nothing like I’d experienced before. It was more like going for a night out and you might do a bit of singing in between! And definitely a top night out when performing with them, because of the band’s influences there was a really good eclectic mix of sounds and grooves.”
During the mid-to late 1990s, she released three solo singles: Rays of the Rising Sun, I Believe, and Inner Peace. Her debut acoustic solo album, Where Does It Go, was set to be released on September 25, 2020.
