Dalbello chronology
Drastic Measures (1981) whomanfoursays (1984) she (1987)

whomanfoursays is an album by Canadian musician Dalbello, released in 1984, which marked a change in direction in her musical career, away from the soul R&B image of her previous albums and toward a more individual and avant-garde sound. She wrote every track herself, and changed her recording name from Lisa Dal Bello to her last name only. Musician Mick Ronson, who collaborated extensively to the project, produced the album with her; all instruments were played by either or both of them. The title is a homophone for the words "human forces".

The album's opening track "Gonna Get Close to You" was covered by progressive metal band Queensrÿche on their second full length album Rage For Order. The song "Wait for an Answer" was covered by Heart on their 1987 album Bad Animals.
