New Zealand-born singer-songwriter Margaret Urlich had relocated to Sydney in 1988. Note: source incorrectly dates her work with Dave Dobbyn as being in 1997. In the following year she issued her debut solo album, Safety in Numbers via CBS Records, which peaked in the top five on both New Zealand and Australian album charts. Safety in Numbers had been recorded with United Kingdom songwriter-producer Robin Smith at Studios 301, Sydney. Note: shows that first name is sometimes found as "Robyn". The Canberra Times correspondent described the album in September 1990 as "a mix of ballads and dance tracks with a sound that entwines soul with a pop sense of melody."
