Fast on the heels of "Ghost" resilient pop-rocker Fefe Dobson is back with her new Alan Furgeson-directed video for her third single, "Stuttering," off her soon-to-be-released official sophomore album, "Joy," will hit stores November 22 in Canada and November 30 in the US via 21/Island Music. "Stuttering" is catchy, upbeat and fun, as well as depressing and sad all at the same time. The song is great, and so is the video. Take a look at confused Dobson as she tries to remember what happened on the night she had a wild party with some friends in a motel room.The song, co-written by Claude Kelly and comes from production hands of J.R. Rotem, and its music video tell a story, as you would probably guess by the title, of lying and cheating. This time she trades in the guitar for a slick beat and a catchy chorus. Over trickling piano chords and mid-tempo percussion, Dobson confidently confronts her possibly unfaithful guy who is so guilty about lying about a misdemeanor that he starts stuttering. The Canadian singer/songwriter is so enraged when suspecting her man is cheating on her. But she gets confused when the guy, she thought was her boyfriend, does not even recognize her. The video, at least the beginning, matches the song perfectly. Dobson initially is stalking her boyfriend whom she thinks is cheating on her, only to find out it's not her boyfriend.
"Stuttering" is a very good upbeat song, and it is radio-friendly and remix-friendly. So I won't be surprised if this hits top ten territory', and that remixes of this song will hit clubs everywhere. As a solid pop track, the entire melody line and rhythms are deeply and wonderfully derivative: The chorus is reminiscent of Kelly Clarkson's "Behind These Hazel Eyes," the delivery style is similar to every Jordin Sparks song you've ever heard, and the verse melody reminds me of Iyaz's "Replay." And she is the self-proclaimed influence to Rihanna's style.
The 25-year-old Island Def Jam artist is finally embracing her roots, with a no-holds-barred collection of full-throttle rock & roll that spotlights her skills as a singer, songwriter and performer. The Joy-ful singer is counting down the days until her new album "Joy" hits shelves and she's sharing her secrets. "I am woman, hear me roar. Aren't we all animals at the end of the day? I like to show that side of me, but in a respectful way. I'm just expressing myself. It's all about feeling good and confident about yourself, and not letting anyone else tell you what you can or can't do."
