I Can See Clearly


"I Can See Clearly" is a song by American singer Debbie Harry, released in June 1993 as the first single from her fourth solo album, Debravation.

Release

After taking a brief hiatus from her solo music career, Harry released the track as the first single from her fourth solo album, Debravation, on June 21, 1993. The single brought her back the attention of US Dance Clubs and peaked at number two on the US Billboard Dance Club Play chart. It was also a moderate success in the United Kingdom, where it reached number 23 in July 1993. The single also peaked at number 96 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart in September 1993.

Critical reception

Ian McCann from NME wrote that "the '70s answer to Virginia Bottomley returns with a record in several bizarre mixes, none of which seem like a hit." He added that, although the song is "duller than a-day old turd", "the voice that adolescent boys once swooned for is still perfectly intact". Adam Higginbotham from Select described it as "a disco pastiche" of U2's "Bullet the Blue Sky".
