Unforgiven.......2007-05-08

Fefe Dobson's music is great, & she's talented as well as beautiful. She writes, she plays, she sings, she performs. I don't buy much of the newer music, I'm a child of the 60's, for me to spend my $ on it, It must be Special. I heard and saw her first on VH1, but only that once. No further airplay that I know of. A major mistake by network execs. I made it a point to seek out her 1st album- Fefe Dobson. I now own 2 copies, I'll give one away as a present. Word of mouth is getting around about her. But if Whoever decides these things- waits to release her next album until 2010, she'll be forgotten ancient history and she may be Unforgiven by her fans if she lets that happen!!!

Fefe Dobson's Self Titled Album.......2006-12-29

First of all, I'm technically not a kid, I'm eighteen. I bought Fefe's CD at a discount because I had heard all her hits on the radio and enjoyed them. But when I listened to all the songs on the album, I liked her even more. She is a lot like Avril Lavigne in the dress sense, and sometimes her voice even sounds similar. Her lyrical content is similar too, but the style of music is different. There is a good mix of edginess and pop to this album - with even a little hip hop inserted in track number five. Sometimes her lyrics come out a little childish, such as "Stupid Little Love Song", but the sound is mainly what you need to listen to. Fefe has a great voice and all her songs display it well. Listen to track thirteen and listen to track one back to back and you hardly believe it is the same artist. All in all, this album is worth it to download or buy on discount. I recommend it for fans of Avril Lavigne, Michelle Branch, and Kelly Clarkson.

Nice Debut.......2006-07-31

I REALLY liked this album. It's something you can chill and dance to. She talks about an array of topics that really touch you.

1. Stupid Little Love Song- (3/5)- Funky little pop rock/song.
2. Bye Bye Boyfriend- (4/5)- I like the lyrics alot, very real. It's slow in the beginning and goes faster on the chorus.
3. Take Me Away- (4/5)- Good lyrics. Catchy. Alot of people go through this situation.
4. Everything- (3/5)- It's good. Don't really listen to it that much but...
5. Rock It Till You Drop It- (4/5)- I like the guy talking in the background! lol! It's a nice upbeat, danceable hip hop esque song with a rock edge.
6. Revolution Song- (5/5)- I love this song!!! The words are so true! "The words you use to hurt me now only seem to make me strong somehow." It made me cry.
7. Kiss Me Fool- (4/5)- I've gone through this situation before. It's a great song. I like the last part best.
8. Unforgiven- (4/5)- Something you can nod your head to. This song was really personal for FeFe.
9. We went for a Ride- (4/5)- Mellow lyrics, nice flow. I can sing along to it.
10. Give it Up- (3/5)- I don't know about this song. It's kinda weird but the lyrics are relatable.
11. Julia- (5/5)- I love this song!! It slow but very relatable lyrics about friendship. Julia kinda reminds me of myself, even though I'm not anorexic or anything. "And I swear I will help you I will, I will shine my light on you".
12. 8 x 10 - (5/5)- Really like this song. It's a "sign this document to prove your love" type of song. "And I'll show you love, cause we're all alone, Put business aside for life passes by, And I'll part your hair when it's in your eyes, Love".
13. Rainbow- (3.5/5)- I don't know about this song. Cool wispy vocals and nice lyrics. Shortest song on the album.

Overall, I think people who like pop/rock will like this album. Nice, refreshing debut. Can't wait for "Sunday Love"!

Good , refreshing album, for pop/rock fans... .......2006-07-29

This album is definitely one that will have pop/rock fans nodding their heads and vibing to Fefe's music. But, I will emphasize that this is an album for people that don't mind listening to pop.

While much of Fefe's music contains a rock feel to it, the album overall is rooted in a pop sound, of sorts. Though I will say this much for Fefe, she does stray away from the typical pop sound, and ventures into many different music types throughout the album. I will agree with another reviewer, Rosan, and say that this IS a refreshing, somewhat original album.

As mentioned, Fefe does explores some different genres on the album. Dobson has necks snapping on the hard-rock "Unforgiven"; then you'll have to pop her cd into your car stereo on the down-tempo "We Went For A Ride". A little hip-hop dancing will go great with "Rock It Til You Drop It". and check out the Broadway Showtune-esque hook on "Kiss Me Fool". These different takes on the typical pop sound earn Fefe the "refreshing" in the review title.

While she does explore these different sounds, make no mistake about it, many of her songs fall well short of spectacular. "Bye Bye Boyfriend", "Revolution Song", "Give It Up", "Julia", and "8 X 10" are all tracks that will have most listeners fast-forwarding to the next track.

And like many have said, Fefe's vocals are not very strong on the album. This is definitely a CD that is based on the instrumentals. "Take Me Away" and "Everything" are the only two tracks that really showcase Fefe's voice. From these two songs, Fefe definitely shows potential, she just needs to show more.

One more great thing about the album, Fefe and her producers are really able to make a cohesive sound while still managing to make each song sound different throughout. There is no track that feels out of place or unfocused. That is a definite plus.

Overall, a solid debut, with some solid hits, and some misses as well. Her second album, Sunday Love, should be something to watch out for.

What Is This?.......2006-06-28

I had no idea who this chick was until I went to Rent-A-Center one day and her video was being played on the big screen TV. I was like, what? So I looked into her background, listened to this CD, and I have come to the conclusion that she is a sugar-free chocolate-covered Avril Lavigne. For someone who has been interested in punk/rock&roll music all their young life, I was expecting something astounding on this album, something that would make her stand out and have people take notice. There was none of that on here. Even though Fefe (Felicia) can carry a tune, every song on here was dull and forgettable. This album was void of bass, funk, melody, rock, roll, attitude, and, most importantly, soul. It's just generic pop music masked as rock& roll with a lot of noisy guitars. Fe Fe Foe Fum, this album turned out to be kind of dumb. Foo Foo Foe Fee, don't even bother wasting your money. Trust me on this one, FeFe's not doing any thing unique and you're not missing anything. Holla!
