Album Notes
Full title: Dearest Christian, I'm So Sorry For Bringing You Here. Love, Dad.P.M. Dawn includes: Alttrel Cordes (synthesizers, programming).Additional personnel: Cameron Greider (guitar, Fender Rhodes, bass); Clark Anderson (piano, keyboards, background vocals); Henry Hey (piano, keyboards); Etienne Lytle (keyboards); Artie Reynolds (bass); Tommy Brunjes (drums, percussion); Todd Snare (drums); J. Slamm, Lil'E (drum programming); Kaz Silver, Sophia Ramos, Zhana Saunders, Robbie Jenkins (background vocals).Engineers: Mike Fossenkemper, P.M. Dawn.Principally recorded at Bliss Studios, Jersey City, New Jersey; Soundtracks, New York, New York; Slamm Studios, Los Angeles, California.This album's title is a tribute to Prince Be's newborn son, Christian, through whom Be has experienced his own rebirth. DEAR CHRISTIAN...is an exploration of new territory for a group pegged as the hippies of hip-hop only a few short years before. Nevertheless, PM Dawn put together an album that is more John Lennon (or at least early Lenny Kravitz) than Puff Daddy or LL Cool J. Tracks like "Being So Not For You," "If I Could Be Your Star" and "Screaming At Me" show the depth in Prine Be's songwriting as well as the group's direct focus on fresh-sounding material. More pop/R&B than hip-hop, DEAR CHRISTIAN is an album that fights specific genre classification due to the band's many influences. Blues, pop, soul, rock and the sounds of Marvin Gaye and John Lennon reverberate throughout the album's thirteen tracks.

Editorial Reviews
8 (out of 10) - ...while...wondrous complications work on [`I Hate Myself For You'], the album's starkest cut, Be's words elswewhere get mighty muddled. But clarity isn't his intention--it's emotional reality, which is always messy...
Spin

Dawn's fourth release might be the PET SOUNDS of hip-hop--yet hip-hop's only one of its many elements. The iconoclastic duo makes alternative soul here that really is alternative....The addition of heart-wrenching lyiccs makes this a truly ambitious pop album. - Rating: A-
Entertainment Weekly (11/06/1998)

...a bleak record that contains the duo's smoothest work since 1993's THE BLISS ALBUM...?....a masterfully romantic album with no stomach for rhapsodic lies.
