(her Rhythm of Love Tour
, Australia and Far East 1991), Jimmy Barnes
, Wa Wa Nee
and Peter Blakeley
before she was approached by the band Rockmelons
to provide vocals for several of their songs. The first song that Hines released with the Rockmelons collaboration was a cover version
of the Bill Withers
70's hit "Ain't No Sunshine
" in 1991. The song proved to be a success charting at number five on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart. With the success of the first single, the reggae-inspired "That Word (L.O.V.E.)" was the second song released with the collaboration and became another top five single, charting at number four in Australia. The third and final song Hines released with the band was the ballad "It's Not Over". The song was also a success but was not as big as the previous two, charting at number fifteen in Australia. With the success with the Rockmelons, Hines became one of the most well known faces, and voices, in Australia.
In 1992, entrepreneur Harry M. Miller
signed Hines for the role of Mary Magdalene
in a revival of the stage musical Jesus Christ Superstar
. Miller had discovered and signed her mother Marcia twenty years earlier, and the role of Mary Magdalene had also been one of Marcia's early successes. Deni Hines was well-received in the role but left the production the following year. In 1992 Hines recorded "Not Enough Time" with INXS
and it peaked at number twenty-eight on the Billboard Hot 100
, a year later she married the band's guitarist
and saxophonist Kirk Pengilly
.
and released her first solo single "It's Alright" in 1995. It was a contemporary dance track that contrasted sharply with her earlier Rockmelons performances, and it became a moderate success in Australia, charting at number four on the Australian ARIA Singles Charts and winning an ARIA Award award for "Breakthrough Artist - Single". "Imagination", the second song released solo by Hines was released at the beginning of 1996 and was not as successful as "It's Alright" only peaking at number thirty-seven. With two songs released from the album, Hines released her debut album Imagination on 25 May 1996 and became a fizzer, charting at number fifteen on the Australia ARIA Albums Chart and was nominated for two ARIA Awards; neither of which it won. "I Like the Way" and "I'm Not in Love
" (a cover version
of a 10cc
' song) were the album's third and fourth singles but both failed to chart in to top fifty in Australia. Even though "I'm Not in Love" failed to make an impact on the charts, it nominated Hines for two ARIA Awards for "Best Pop Release" and "Best Female Artist". Imagination was also released in Japan
on 24 July 1996 and had sales of 30 copies, making the total sales of 250 worldwide.
In order to properly promote her album, Hines moved to the UK
in 1997 and re-issued her album under the title Pay Attention and toured with Lighthouse Family
and Earth, Wind & Fire
. "It's Alright" was released in the United Kingdom
in 1997 and was received well peaking at number thirty-five on the singles chart. The track also managed to peak at number twenty-two in France
. Further hits such as "I Like the Way", "Joy" and "Delicious" followed, however, her career quickly lost its impetus after her album Pay Attention failed to impact the charts. In 1998, Hines cracked the U.S. market on the dance charts with "Joy" and "I Like the Way" both peaking in the top twenty of the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts. Hines released an album of remixed songs from her Imagination and Pay Attention albums on 14 July 1998, titled Remix Your Imagination. This album failed to break into any charts around the world but the song "Dream Your Dream" from the album managed to chart in Japan.
