"Ever So Lonely " is the debut single by British band Monsoon with Sheila Chandra on vocals. The song was written by Steve Coe and was released in August 1981. The single became a No. 12 hit in the United Kingdom following a re-release in March 1982, staying on the UK Singles Chart for nine weeks. It was also a hit in Ireland, the Netherlands and Australia but was never released as a single in the United States. Chandra was aged only 16 and had just left school when her first single was released.
The band were later signed to Phonogram after being discovered by David Claridge and the song was the first release on his new label, The Mobile Suit Corporation. Several different remixes were made including three by Monsoon, two by Ben Chapman, and several by Jakatta .
Critical reception
[ edit ]
Reviewing the band, iTunes said:
""The band's pop songs were no different than most, but the addition of Indian instrumentation and Chandra's wonderful voice evoked images of the Orient seldom seen on the British pop charts since George Harrison 's excursions with the Beatles ."[2]
