Dewdrops in the Garden is the third and final studio album by the house-music group Deee-Lite, released in July 1994 via Elektra Records. Its third and last album moved away from the overtly political lyrical content of the previous album.
At the time of the release of Dewdrops in the Garden, Lady Kier had compared it with Infinity Within by saying:
The album drew inspiration from Lady Kier's travels to the Hopi ruins in the Painted Desert and pyramids in the Yucatan and Dmitri's travels to the Grand Canyon and Joshua Tree. The inspiration was clear in Lady Kier's description of the track "Music Selector is the Soul Reflector":
Most of the work on Dewdrops in the Garden was done by Super DJ Dmitri and Lady Miss Kier joined by junglist DJ Ani (On-E). Towa Tei had left the band to do some work on Japanese pop star Nokko's album and his own debut solo album Future Listening! (however, Tei contributed to the track "Call Me"). He was said to be back for the band's fourth album, which was never made.
A companion album titled Dewdrops in the Remix was released in Japan shortly after the album's release, containing four remixes of "Picnic in the Summertime," four mixes of "Bring Me Your Love," and six mixes of "Call Me." "Bring Me Your Love" and "Call Me" became their last two #1 hits on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
The last track includes a hidden track. After "What is this Music?", the track plays on for almost twelve minutes of silence, before "Bring Me Your Love" begins at 12:02.
