"I just the read the review written by Tanika from Brentwood, NY and I cannot believe the ignorance displayed. Considering myself one of "your people" (FYI- both myself and Ms. Dobson are biracial), you need to get it straight. We can perform in ANY musical genre we desire. How incredibly narrow-minded to say that we "don't do grunge or punk"! Where do you think the roots of rock 'n roll lie? With us, in the southern blues of the 40's and 50's. Your comment is so typical of the misconception that skin color or race has anything to do with music. All that said, Fefe's album is a nice pop/punk piece akin to Avril and I wish her all the luck in this business."

Very, very surprising

"Gotta admit ... when I first saw Fefe, I thought, oh no, not another pretentious rocker chick! I couldn't have been more wrong. This is a remarkable debut album; I would categorize it as Rock Lite, but I don't mean that in a disparaging way. Rarely do I buy an album and like all of the songs, but I listened to this all the way through and liked pretty much everything. The first track, Stupid Little Love Song, is probably my least favorite, but I certainly didn't hate it. Fefe tackles some age-specific themes, like absentee dads and messed-up friends, as well as the usual love songs mixed with a little Girl Power. She wisely uses a co-writer for many of the songs on this album, so it escapes the common problem of everything sounding the same, and overall the CD ranges from a fairly driving beat to quite ballady. Rock It Till You Drop It is especially fun ... but then, it does sample Eric Clapton's It's In the Way that You Use It, so I guess that's no surprise. Some great ballads, too -- Julia, 8x10, and the bonus track, #13, a ballad that may or may not be called "I'm No Fool" ... it's not mentioned anywhere on the liner notes. This girl is talented. Hope to see more of her."

"Fefe Dobson is incredible. In a world full of "posers" Fefe emerges with a REAL sound. Her music had pop, punk, hip hop and even jazz influences. This album is awesome for a new artistStupid Little Love Song (5/5)-This is in my opinion the best song on the CD. It's very punked out and has quirky lyrics. A very good opener for the CD. Go Fefe.Bye Bye Boyfriend (5/5)-A very good song. It goes from slow ballad to powerful rockin song. The upfront in your face lyrics make u want to sing along. Another winner.Take Me Away (4.5/5)-The first single. This song is very good for just rockin out. The lyrics are evry relatableEverything (5/5) -The song that really made me notice Fefe. This is a good pop ballad with a relatable message. Great to sing along too and great second single.Rock It Til You Drop It (4/5) -A great song featuring old school rapper Tone Loc. A hip hop influenced rock song about just being young, partying and having a laugh.Revolution Song (3/5)-My least favorite song. It's a good song but I don't really feel it. A slow ballad.Kiss Me Fool (4/5)- Great song about changing yourself for a guy. A very good rock/pop song.Unforgiven (5/5)-This song is very awesome. It's a scream to her absent dad and letting him know how much she despises him. It's a very in your face song. Great production.We Went For A Ride (5/5)-My second fave song. It has a very nice jazz feel to it. It's very mellow and chill. I love it, it relaxes me. It sound like something that wold come on a jazz or soft rock station.Give It Up (4/5)-Good song with great message about girls giving it up to guys. A very rockin song. I know I say that a lot. Tee hee.Julia (4.5/5)-I like this song. It's about helping her best friend Julia. It's very relaxed and mellow kinda like track 9. Very good message8X10(3/5)- It's good but kinda boring. I dunno. It's just missing something.Rainbow (3.5/5)-This is a bonus track. Musically it's boring and languid. But I do enjoy the lyrics. They're very poetic and deep.All in all this is a very promising debut CD. Fefe Dobson is going to have longevity because she gives fans what they wanna hear. Great music. Avril has absolutely nothing on Fefe."

Fefe rocks, literally and figuratively!!!

"All I could say when I got the album the day it came out was, WOW! First, I didn't expect "Kiss Me Fool" to be on the album because MTV named it "Who Should I Be" on their site. So that was a pleasant surprise. It's now my favorite song from the album. Here's what I thought of all the songs. 1. Stupid Little Love Song. I had heard this on the internet about a month before the album came out, so I already knew I liked it. My favorite line is "Your brother is the scientist who found the cure for morning breath." My dad even likes this song! It really gets the album to a good start.2. Bye Bye Boyfriend. Like the one above, I had already heard this song before. I thought it was very cool, and not your typical rant-about-a-bad-boyfriend-song. The video is good for this one too.3. Take Me Away. I first saw this video way before i heard the song. I saw the video on Sep. 29, and i loved it from the start. Then, it got very popular around here, which was great. The lyrics don't exactly make sense, but they're kinda catchy. 4. Everything. This is Fefe's new single fyi. I really like it, it sounds different than the other songs, but that makes it even more enjoyable. You can still get good beats and guitars in it though!5. Rock It Till You Drop It. It's very 80's sounding to me, but in a good way. It has a tendency to get stuck in your head, so beware! ha ha. 6. Revolution Song. Another sorta ballad-y song. It's not as hardcore as the other ones, but it still has that Fefe feel to it. 7. Kiss Me Fool. This is my favorite song on the album. It's very catchy lyrics got me the very first time i heard it back in September. "Kiss me fool, if you care, if your words have any meaning. Playing it cool is so unfair, why this veil of secrecy? God, forbid, your friends found out what we did. Why can't someone like you be with someone like me? Touch me fool if you're allowed. I'll be dancing in the corner. It's so cruel to play it proud. Take your hand and come with me. I'm aware, that all in love is fair, but that's no reason to make me feel this way" This is definetly one of those songs that you just have to turn up all the way.8. Unforgiven. It's very loud and almost offending. Okay, maybe to Ms. Dobson's dad, but not to me. She's just basically yelling at her dad that all the stuff he did yesterday won't be fixed by saying "sorry" and that he's unforgiven for leaving her family. 9. We Went For A Ride. It's just about escaping with someone you love and not having to worry about going back. It's a sweet song, but it's not one of my favorites. It doesn't appeal to me like "Kiss Me Fool" does.10. Give It Up. My friends and I spent about 2 hours trying to figure this song out. We decided (like one of the other posters) that it's about virginity, and how this guy wants to have sex and the girl isn't quite ready. "Give it up give it up, it's what they all say say, pressure from the boys to give it away. Suck it up suck it up don't treat me that way way, my heart will tell me when it's time to play." I like this song a lot because it's very relatable.11. Julia. I have had a really hard time figuring out this song. At first i thought it was about a friend who was all sweet and happy and then kills herself, and then i read another review of it, and it made more sense. She's betraying herself and her friends, and that's why the lines "Her days were numbered" and " She couldn't be trusted" are in there. 12. 8 by 10 . It's very Beatles sounding to me. It's not all rockish like the other ones, but it's still a very nice, but different, song. I like it too, but it's not my first choice.13.Rainbow. This is just a feel good song. Especially this line, "And if you could see, what others see, you wouldn't feel so bad." So when you're upset, it's a good song to listen to, but it's hidden, so you might miss it the first couple of times you look for it. Overall, this is probably tied for my favorite album. The other one being Stacie Orrico's, which is totally different. I have gotten all of my friends hooked on this album, and my dad too! I haven't been able to listen to a song without getting it stuck in my head, but sometimes, those are the best songs. Well, I hope yall like it as much as I do!"
