I don't know if you've noticed, but this Holiday season, I feel like I've seen the word "Joy" just about everywhere. McDonalds is throwing out copywritten quoted 'sayings' all over the place. Starbucks even had Tazo name a tea after the word. It's a mixture of oolong, green, and orange pekoe teas, it's one of my favorite blends from Tazo. Getting back, with Fefe's new album, I finally decided the proper and healthy way to take-in this "Joy".Fefe Dobson.
I am so proud of her. I can still remember the first time that I saw her performing on Nickelodeon's "All That", those many years ago. She was a young mixed punk rocker chick, and her voice was amazing. I loved her instantly and haven't kept my ears off of her music since. Like Alexz Johnson, Fefe has endured some Corporate woes as well. Her second album, "Sunday Love" has been totally shelved. She even recorded a music video for one of the songs, hows that for a contract? I know that if I put all that work into one thing, and then to have it all come crashing down, it would hurt spiritually. I'm still trying to let go of not getting the last job I interviewed for...
Fefe has kept her head up though. She has been trying to be a more positive individual and take her life into her own hands.
Her new song, "Thanks for Nothing", seems to be a ballad of a freed lover on the surface, but if you take a deeper listen; you might think of it metaphorically as her veiw on her previous trials with "Sunday Love". In real life, her views are as follows, "My real good fans, my hardcore fans, have it, so that's most important," Dobson says. "At least it got out there to a few hands, and now it's time to make a record on my own terms."[Wiki] "It was sad," says Dobson. "But instead of sitting there and being depressed and begging people for the record, I went back to the studio, got people that I knew, friends that I knew, and I started again."
This chicks a fighter! I love enjoying life knowing Fefe is always writing music!
I really love her third album, "Joy". I believe that it shows that she is a songwriter at heart and an amazing vocalist. She's talented and creative, and she always seems to have a set goal for whatever project she works on. She's really a true artist.
