專輯介紹
C.C. Catch was born in Holland and was supported by her parents from an early age, when they recognised her talent and encouraged her wish to be a "famous singer”. Her father was especially supportive and has played and still plays a very important role in her successful career as her manager and tour-manager.
C.C. Catch 生於荷蘭，年幼時父母便發覺了她的音樂才能，並鼓勵她將來成爲大明星。Catch的父親對她尤爲支持。在Catch星光熠熠的演藝生涯中，父親一直扮演著重要的角色，現在依舊對她産生影響。父親不光是Catch的經紀人，同時還負責安排她的行程。
From an early age the up-and-coming singer took part in talent contests and was originally a member of a German girl group, which released 2 Singles.
年幼時，Catch便已嶄露頭角，參與各種才藝大賽。她曾是德國一少女團體的初始成員，該組合曾發行過2首單曲。
She was first discovered in the mid-1980s by the German songwriter and member of the top German group Modern Talking, Dieter Bohlen. He was particularly interested in her singing talents and invited her on the same day to his studio for an audition. Shortly afterwards she signed a contract with him, which was to launch her solo career.
她於上世紀80年代中期被德國著名歌曲創作者Dieter Bohlen發現。Dieter Bohlen也是德國著名演唱組合“摩登談話”（Modern Talking）的成員。Dieter對於Catch的演唱才能頗爲感興趣，當天即邀請Catch到他的錄音室去試唱。不久，Catch便簽下了合約，開始了自己的演唱生涯。
With her new solo record contract it was important that she had a strong Artist name. She therefore decided on the name C.C.CATCH, the two "C”s standing for the first initials of her two first names and CATCH was a good idea and looked great with the initials. So finally C.C. CATCH was born! In the Summer of 1985, on C.C.’s birthday, the song "I Can Lose My Heart Tonight” was released as her debut Single. The Single became a big hit in Europe.
從簽下演藝合約開始，Catch迎來了演唱生涯中一個重要的時刻：她有了一個響當當的藝名。她決定將自己的藝名定爲“C.C. CATCH”。兩個字母“C”分別是她兩個姓氏的首字母，而“CATCH”則是“靈光一現”的意思，並且它看起來也與之前的兩個“C”十分搭配。最終，C.C.CATCH在1985年的夏日，C.C.的生日那天橫空出世。歌曲“I Can Lose My Heart Tonight”成爲她的處女秀，而這首單曲後來在歐洲引起巨大轟動。
Dieter Bohlen and C.C. worked together until 1989 during which time 12 Top Twenty Singles and 5 Chart –Hit Albums were produced. C.C. wanted to have more personal input in the songs, but Dieter would not allow this, so she decided in 1989 not to renew her contract with him and BMG, her record label, and left Germany to live in England.
Dieter Bohlen與C.C.的合作一直持續到1989年，這期間他們一共推出了12首排名排行榜前20名的單曲和五張熱銷唱片。C.C希望能在歌曲中加入更多的個人元素，但Dieter不允許，所以她在1989年沒有與Dieter和BMG公司續約，而是離開德國，前往英格蘭居住。
On a New Year’s Eve television show in Spain, C.C. met Simon Napier Bell (ex-manager of Wham’s George Michael). Simon was very interested in working with her and shortly thereafter became her manager. A new contract was signed with the label Polygram (Metronome). A new album, "Hear What I Say” was prepared with new producers, including Andy Taylor (ex Duran Duran), Dave Clayton (worked with George Michael and U2) and Jo Dworniak. From this album, a Single was released in 1989, called "BIG TIME”, which went to number 25 in the charts.
在西班牙的一場除夕夜綜藝節目秀上，C.C遇到了Simon Napier Bell（Wham組合George Michael的前任經紀人）。Simon非常有興趣同她合作，之後不久就成了她的經紀人。C.C的新東家成了寶麗金唱片公司，新專輯“Hear What I Say”也開始與新的制作人合作進行籌備。新制作人包括Andy Taylor (前 Duran Duran成員), Dave Clayton (與 George Michael和U2合作過) 以及 Jo Dworniak。此張專輯之後，1989年又推出了單曲“BIG TIME”。該曲名列排行榜第25位。
During this time, BMG released the Single "Baby I Need Your Love” along with the compilation "Classics”. Dieter went on to release her recordings "Good Guys Only Win In Movies” at the same time C.C. released her next Single "Midnight Hour”.
在此期間，BMG發行了音樂合集“Classics”，其中收錄了C.C.的單曲“Baby I Need Your Love”。在C.C.發布她的新單曲“Midnight Hour”的同時，Dieter也在繼續推出C.C.的作品“Good Guys Only Win In Movies”。
"Hear What I Say” was released at the end of 1989 and was the last album released by C.C.. Many of her fans liked the the album because she co-wroten seven of the songs and C.C. was happy because she could finally do what she always wanted to do – writing. It was a very good experience for her to have a key role in the making of this album. It sold more than her previous two albums, "Big Fun” and "Diamonds”, demonstrating her abilities as an artist working on her own terms。
“Hear What I Say”於1989年末發行，該專輯也是C.C.發行的最後一張專輯。她的衆多樂迷都非常喜愛這張專輯，因爲C.C.與他人合作創作了唱片中的七首歌曲。C.C.本人也很開心，因爲她終於完成了她一直夢寐以求的事情——創作。對她來說，擔任專輯制作的核心角色毫無疑問是一次美妙的經曆。該唱片銷量超過了她前兩張專輯“BIG FUN”和“Diamonds”，也充分展現了她深厚的藝術創作功底。
Afterwards, C.C. parted with Metronome on good terms to take time out from the music industry. During this time she focused on her spiritual growth, practising yoga and a form of meditation; she also started writing her own songs.
之後，C.C以優厚的條件離開了Metronome公司並遠離了流行音樂産業一段時間。那期間她開始更多地注意她的精神世界，練習瑜伽與冥想，同時自己創作歌曲。
In 1998 she reentered the music scene. She agreed to do some promotional work for BMG for a new compilation "Best Of 98”. Two Singles were also released – "C.C. Catch Megamix ‘98” and "I Can Lose My Heart Tonight ‘98” for which she received a Gold Record.1998年她重返音樂舞台，並答應願爲BMG的新精選合輯“Best of 98”盡一份力：她發行了兩首新單曲——"C.C. Catch Megamix ‘98” 和 "I Can Lose My Heart Tonight ‘98”，二者均達到了黃金唱片銷量。
Now in 2003 she is living in Germany again and has recorded her new Single "Shake Your Head 2003” with Savage Productions, who are Artists as well as producers and have produced acts such as Oli P, Noble Savages and Enie (who is famous as the ex-moderator of Bravo TV and now the face of German T-Online advertisements). The Single is a re-working of the Was Not Was track, originally featuring vocals from none other than Ozzy Osbourne.
2003年，她又回到了德國生活，並與Savage Productions合作錄制了新單曲“Shake Your Head 2003”。該曲是Was Not Was的改編版，原唱爲Ozzy Osbourne.。
