Dee C Lee - See The Day (CBS)

Dee's career-by-association has been pretty well chronicled, from young gun in Wham! to Style Councillor, but the lady's always aimed for a solo career. The voice that's just helped "The Lodgers" up the charts is given full rein here on a lush ballad that could've been done 20 years back by the likes of Dusty Springfield or Pet Clark. It's a progression from the poppy soul of earlier releases, and a move that should establish her as a name in her own right. (Karen Swayne, No 1, October 19, 1985)

Paul Weller's sidekick, currently prominent on the Style Council's "The Lodgers", swims bravely through a swelling soundtrack ballad for a non-existent Sixties movie, but ends up drowning in the strings. The cover of Weller's "The Paris Match" on the B-side is a much more suitable frame for D C's voice. (Roger Morton, Record Mirror, October 19, 1985)

Dee's excellent voice is showcased warmly on a song that Dusty Springfield (veteran British pop singer) or Tony Hatch (veteran British pop composer - he did the Crossroads them, fact fans) would have sinned for. A brave production and arrangement for the lady better known for her Style Council-ing. (Paul King, Smash Hits, October 23, 1985)
