Vitamin C is the nom de plume for singer Colleen Fitzpatrick, who fronted Eve's Plum for two very good, and overlooked, albums released by 550 Music in the mid-'90s. Here she steps out on her own for a self-titled solo debut that is every bit as engaging as those two releases and more so. The album shows a wider range stylistically from Fitzpatrick than she did with her former band, and the result is a stunning collection that mixes pop, alternative, and dance music. Jamaican dancehall diva Lady Saw guests on the single "Smile," which fuses dancehall and alt-pop to good effect on the opening track. There is no shortage of hooks on Vitamin C. "Turn Me On" is raucous pop with quiet spoken passages and a neat lyrical twist, and "Me, Myself and I" cops the vibe of War's "Lowrider." Fitzpatrick adopts a breathy delivery over electronic bursts and a hammering drumbeat on "Not that Kind of Girl." She gets funky on "Do What You Want to Do" and explores role reversal on the electro-pop of "Girls Against the Boys." And just when it seems that she can't pull one more hook from her bag of tricks, Fitzpatrick delivers the provocatively playful "About Last Night" and the nostalgic, string-laced "Graduation (Friends Forever)." She even takes an admirable stab at the Split Enz classic "I Got You." There's not a weak track on this stellar record. ~ Tom Demalon
Vitamin C is Colleen Fitzpatrick, formerly of New York City's Eve's Plum. Her self-titled debut album finds the singer leaving the alt-rock stylings of her former band far behind in favor of a more urban, forward-looking sound.
The opening track, "Smile," employs the kind of Caucasian dance-hall rap style that made Barenaked Ladies famous, while "Unhappy Anniversary" is straightforward folk-pop, complete with jangling acoustic guitar and wistful vocals. "Me, Myself and I" cleverly interpolates the chorus from Santana's "No One to Depend On" in an arrangement that wouldn't sound out of place on a Smash Mouth album. Fitzpatrick makes good use of sunny pop melodies mixed with lazy hip-hop rhythms and state-of-the-art production touches throughout. And how could you not like a 1999 album that includes a cover of Split Enz' "I Got You"?Entertainment Weekly (9/3/99, pp.67-8) - "...sounds like the unabashedly great pop album the Spice Girls might have made....She recently landed on the charts with a charming slice of dancehall pop called 'Smile', and that's what her album makes me do..." - Rating: A-

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars Sugar pop, nuthin' more.
Hey, I bought this review on a whim. I read a positively GLOWING review about it in my magazine of choice, Entertainment Weekly and decided it sounded a heckuva lot better than the adjacently reviewed Puff Daddy album. So, I went, I bought, I listened. I actually found myself liking it's blissful simplicity, although this tart in a leotard is no Aretha Franklin. Her voice is actually kind of thin, but I really wasn't distracted. I loved "Smile", one of the best songs on the album, a charming confection that suceeds on urging the listener to dance to it. "Turn Me On" was fine, "Unhappy Anniversary" had incredible potential that it didn't live up to, and the Epic "Graduation (friends forever)" was a soaring ballad that I loved.
It had it's downsides, like the boring, stupid "Girls Against Boys", or the wannabeish "Do What You Want To Do", which I was actually suspecting to be a Beatles cover. Most of those songs borrowed bits and pieces from other people's far superior work, and does little justice. But the songs that I truly enjoyed had me humming them incoherently all day. In summary, if you want a great piece of music history, purchase something by Tori Amos. If you want something idle, sweet, enjoyable and easy to swallow, buy Vitamin C.

“Always one of the most likely bands to be the next “it” from Seattle. If this record doesn’t do it, there is something wrong with this world.” – John Richards, KEXP 90.3FMMountain Con is a poster child for the current cataclysmic upheaval underway in the music industry. Here is a band that, on their newest album Sancho Panza, record themselves, produce themselves, mix themselves and promote themselves. Like many groups these days (such as The Arctic Monkeys and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah) Mountain Con aren't waiting around for the music business to get over its identity crisis--they are taking matters into their own hands. It was a hard fought battle to get to the position of artistic autonomy they find themselves in now. There were big time LA producers, hot up-and-coming labels and a publishing deal with one of the big four. It would sound as if they had it made, yet a few years ago Mountain Con found themselves in a state of utter music biz limbo--shelved, ignored and lost in a holding pattern.For Mountain Con, going it alone was a natural move. They have always been the outsiders, both nationally and within the local ...
