Debravation is the fourth solo album by Deborah Harry. Released in 1993, the album reached no.24 in the UK. It was also the final album Harry made whilst signed to the Chrysalis label, thus ending a successful partnership that began with Blondie and had endured for over 15 years.
The first single from the album was the dance track "I Can See Clearly", which reached no.23 in the UK. The second single, ballad "Strike Me Pink", had a controversial promotional video that was banned for being too disturbing - it featured a man in a glass tank filled with water, as Harry sits and watches him drown.
The U.S. version of the album contained two additional tracks. "My Last Date (With You)" includes instrumental backing from R.E.M.
Debravation was re-issued in 2005 by label Wounded Bird Records.
