Product description
Product Description
Vitamin C (a.k.a. Colleen Fitzpatrick) performed as a dancer and actor before deciding music was her true calling, subsequently becoming the lead singer for Eve's Plum. Now on her own, Vitamin C blends effervescent alt-pop with many other genres, including rap and reggae and a multitude of classic samples. The outcome is daring but accessible, with sunny melodies and irresistible rhythms. Her 1st single, "Smile" (feat. Jamaican dancehall artist Lady Saw) is rising up the charts.
Amazon.ca
Vitamin C took a leaf from the Sugar Ray playbook, calling in dance-hall royalty (in this case Lady Saw) to add some spice to the single "Smile." Colleen Fitzpatrick, formerly of modern rockers Eve's Plum, makes sure we know her smarts didn't run out there; her Madonna-influenced album also has room for a canny dance-pop version of Split Enz's "I Got You," a Feminism 101 essay assignment for junior-high students ("Girls Against Boys"), and a Clash sample on "Fear of Flying." Unfortunately, these good ideas are failed by their execution--most of the songwriting and tracks are catchy but not enough to truly lift the record off the ground--and Fitzpatrick's slight air of superiority to the radio-driven marketplace she's courting makes the record ultimately unfun. A lesson in sincere manipulation wouldn't hurt; a few listens to Best of Blondie might help. --Rickey Wright

1.Smile- great beat, true lyrics, and it lives up to its name.
2.Turn Me On- I really like this one, cos' it tells how the person in a relationship feels. Plus, the music is great.
3.Me,Myself, and I- I like this song, even though it has elements from "No One to Depend On" by Carlos Santana, plus, i like the lyrics, cos' they're actually kinda true about flirtatious lovers.
4.Unhappy Anniversary- a good song with good lyrics.
5.Not That Kind of Girl- i think girls who are nice but misunderstood would like this one because it simply says that some girls may not be the person they appear to be.
6.Do What You Want To Do- this song is a good one cos' it says you can be yourself and be happy about it, and you can do what you wanna do and have fun.
7.Girls Against Boys- first of all, me being a 13-year old guy, i found this song weird and cool at the same time. You would really like it if you listened to it long enough, cos' it stirs your imagination.
8.I Got You- This one sounds a little bit like "Turn Me On", but it's still great. Plus, it has cool lyrics.
9.Money- great beat, great lyrics, this song has it all.
10.About Last Night- this is probably my 2nd favorite song on the album. it has cool lyrics, and a good pop sound.
11.Fear of Flying- I think this is the coolest sounding song on the CD. it's music is awesome, it's lyrics are too, so i think this is the other song that "has it all".
12.Graduation(Friends Forever)- this is, in my opinion, the #1 song on the album. the lyrics(i know i'm getting annoying blabbin on about lyrics) are true, cos' they tell about teen's point of view of what could happen after graduation.Plus, the video is cool too.
Vitamin C, if you read this, keep up the good work and good luck with your next album!
1. Smile~ This is the song I bought the album for. It has a great message, and the ENHANCED CD section on your computer has this video, which is pretty cool. You appreciate the song after seeing it.
2. Turn Me On~ This is a cool song! I love it when the chorus comes on and it jumps from quiet music and calm singing, to banging away, belting out the lyrics.
3. Me, Myself, and I~ Way cool song, I love it when the guy goes "Please, baby, please". It is really, really good. The music is pretty cool too. I like the clapping in the beginning.
4. Unhappy Aniversary~ These lyrics blew me away. "You ask me- how am I, well I'm still standing, aren't I?" Such a slow and sad song. Flows well too.
5. Not That Kind Of Girl~ I love this! Funky. My favorite part is where she goes "Oh, Oh, I'm not that kind of girl" This really shows how well she can write songs. I mean, who elso would sing a song that goes... "...[Won't] take your wallet for it's big size..."
6. Do What You Want To Do~ I love the guy singing in the background! THis also has a good message in it. Great lyrics and great music= great song.
7. Girls Against Boys~ Weird lyrics, but great beat and tune.
8. I Got You~ Similar to "Turn Me On", but cooler. Fimiliar chorus tune, but it's probably only because its a great song. Again, the lyrics are stellar.
9. Money~ This song is so true, it's funny! 'Money' is right up there with my favorite songs on this album.
10. About Last Night~ the music is great in this. The lyrics are cool too... but I'm still wondering about what some of them REALLY mean.
11. Fear Of Flying~ I don't really care for this song.
12. Graduation~ Oh my God! This is my all time FAVORITE song! I think its so sad. The lyrics are better than the best. I can't stress enough, but this song is better than the radio version... no talking, more verses, and longer. GRADUATION is BREATHTAKING!
Vitamin C's album is so good, it sounds almost like she has been writing forever, and she is perfect at that and singing. I so want to see her in concert!
PEACE, y'all! :-)

My favourite songs are "Turn Me on", "Me, Myself And I" (this is an album version but I like the single version, as the video, too!!!), "Graduation (Friends Forever)" (it's composed from two parts and the song is beautiful but little long and monotonous... ^_^), but especially I love the song "I GOT YOU"...WOW...she has a fantastic voice and the chorus is very amazing!!!
I suggest you to listen her!!!
It had 4 tracks on it I knew well - the other 7 I was really pleasantly surprised about too - they were really enjoyable.
The fact that I picked up this rare (in uk) album for less than £2, had it shipped from the states and got it well within the time frame quoted on amazon was an absolute bonus.
The seller must be complimented specifically for their quick turn around time in getting the album to me.
