About this album

Once Bitten is a sharp, stylised debut that introduced Annabel Lamb as a distinctive voice in early-1980s new wave and synth-pop. Released in 1983, the album balances sleek electronic textures with rock-edged momentum, giving Lamb’s cool, expressive delivery a striking frame. Its best-known moment is a version of The Doors’ Riders On The Storm, which helped draw wider attention to the record, while the title track and other originals underline her flair for atmospheric songwriting and melodic hooks. As a first album, Once Bitten stands out for its confident sense of mood, polish and individuality.
